• Improved warnings for canceling the Accountant’s copy; • Expanded areas that you and your accountant can work in while the Accountant’s copy is active;
• Review, accept or reject changes from your accountant as a batch, or individually; and
• Receive notes and instructions from your accountant inside the accountant’s copy.

The ‘always on’ Audit Trail makes it easier for your accountant to spot possible trouble spots or mis-postings in your accounts.

QuickBooks Google Desktop Search

QuickBooks Google Desktop Search indexes your entire data file making it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for.

".....QuickBooks QBⁱ has incorporated Google Desktop as part of the installation. It uses this as the internal search engine for finding transations and details in your accounting records, but also crosses over to the data you have stored anywhere on your system. This search tool is very impressive and will dramatically improve your ability to track data wherever it may be hiding."
