The good: QuickBooks 2006 has a shorter setup interview; an improved, flowchart-style home page; a faster SQL database; an always-on audit trail; and new modules for managing customers, vendors, and employees.
The bad: The tech support for QuickBooks 2006 is expensive, and its inventory-management tools could be better.
The bottom line: QuickBooks Premier 2006 is the best upgrade in years. Its slick new interface is the best in small-business accounting, and its accounting toolkit is easy to learn. Small but growing businesses should buy it.
