Aiming to increase efficiency
Intuit’s new QuickBooks 2014 accounting software aims to help Britain’s small business owners free up time by boosting their admin efficiency and record organisation.
In response to customer feedback, QuickBooks 2014 includes updated features such as the new income tracker and improved document attachment functions, which will help small businesses complete financial tasks in fewer steps than ever before. The software is designed to help save time and money and aide collaboration with accountants, so they can spend more time building their businesses.
Intuit ‘s Sarah Gibson, project manager of QuickBooks 2014, said: “We understand that small business owners’ and accountants’ greatest asset is their time, so we’ve observed them using QuickBooks and taken steps to eliminate time-wasting procedures. Even the smallest timesavings can make a big difference over the course of a financial year. We hope QuickBooks 2014 will free them up to spend their time innovating and growing their companies.”
To further boost efficiency, Intuit has also addressed dozens of further user-requested improvements. For example, users now have one-click access to the most relevant and useful reports on each transaction with the Reports Ribbon, whereas before they would have to go through the reports menu to access them. Performance has also been improved in key areas to help users get in and out of their books faster, by speeding up file loading and transaction opening for instance.
