Review summary |
QuickBooks Premier 2008 remains the top small-business accounting program. Its guidance for novices is top-notch, and it comes in a variety of editions tailored for specific industries. Version 2008 isn't an essential upgrade for QuickBooks 2007 users, but it's a good buy for users of earlier versions, and for anyone new to accounting software.
|
Microsoft Works Suite 2004 delivers quality productivity apps for families, but there's not enough new this year to make Suite 2003 users switch.
|
TurboTax Deluxe 2003 is a do-it-yourself filer's best friend, thanks to its superior, more thorough tax interview.
|
QuickBooks Premier 2004 retains its best-in-class status by combining an easy-to-learn interface with a host of solid forecasting and tax-management tools.
|
We can't say enough about QuickBooks Pro 2002. This small-biz accounting program does it all, so get it stat for your small business.
