Key Features
Create branded invoices and quotes
QuickBooks accounts and invoice software lets you create and send invoices in seconds - and you can design them just the way you want them:
- Choose from a selection of templates
- Customise every aspect of the invoice design
- Choose which information to include and add your logo
QuickBooks invoice software lets you send branded invoices to project a more professional, cohesive image of your company. You'll impress customers even when they owe you money.
Easy VAT returns - HMRC approved
Do your VAT the fast, accurate way. QuickBooks accounting software generates VAT returns for you using financial information you've already entered:
- Create VAT returns in minutes - it's freedom from VAT!
- File VAT returns online - QuickBooks is tested with HMRC systems (UK ONLY)
- HMRC now requires most businesses to submit VAT returns online (UK ONLY)
VAT return time can be a real headache. With automatic VAT returns, you can cut the hassle - and the worry.
(Sorry, but QuickBooks doesn't support flat rate VAT.)
Handle foreign currencies
QuickBooks easy Premier accounting software lets you trade in over 145 currencies just as easily as you do in Kenya Shillings:
- Work with international customers in their own currencies
- Convert back using the latest exchange rates
- Understand gains and losses caused by rate fluctuations
Handling foreign currencies helps your business deliver great service, because international clients will appreciate it when you work in their currencies.
Stock control and back orders
With QuickBooks Premier accounting software, it's easier to keep track of what your business has in stock, and you won't have to force customers elsewhere when something's out of stock.
- See exactly what you have in stock at any time
- Set automatic reorder points for when stock gets low
- Create back orders to fulfil first, when stock arrives
Holding stock is a balancing act: it's important to have what your customers want, but you don't want to over order and have funds tied up needlessly. QuickBooks helps you get that balance right.
Create budgets and forecast cash flow
Plan ahead effectively by creating budgets and forecasting your company’s cash flow:
- Set monthly, quarterly or annual budgets
- Track your performance and compare actual to expected results
- Understand how your business could perform in the months ahead
Cash flow forecasts enable you to see how different scenarios would affect your business. What if you took on more staff, or lost a key customer?
Calendar view
We've added a calendar view inside QuickBooks so you can stay on top of your business and handle important tasks:
- Quickly scan items at a glance
- See your to-do list in calendar format
- View overdue items in a single list
For each day the calendar shows important 'to-dos', tasks, bills and invoices that are due, plus any transactions you entered on that day.
Offer flexible discounts
QuickBooks Premier accounts and invoice software gives you complete freedom to price products and services the way that suits your business:
- Set discount levels for specific customers or jobs
- Change prices easily, whenever you need to
- Offer special deals to match or beat competitors
