QuickBooks 2016 – What Makes It So Special?

​QuickBooks is the best business accounting software available in the market right now. What makes the software so special is that Intuit, the company behind QuickBooks, always makes sure to update the software every year. 

​So we have updated versions of QuickBooks Premier, Pro and Enterprise available to us. QuickBooks 2016 comes with a number of additions to simplify your tax preparation and accounting tasks and to add value to your business.
In particular, QuickBooks 2016 offers better and improved reporting, more efficient deletion of transactions, easier way to track billings and simplifies account handling for small and medium-sized businesses, accountants and CPAs.
Let’s look at some of the best features of QuickBooks 2016…

1. More Efficient Bill Tracking

​QuickBooks 2016 enables much more efficient bill tracking than the previous versions of the software. As a user you can track all bills in a single window using a fresh dashboard. All your overdue bills are listed using this feature. The new bill tracking feature on QuickBooks is similar to the Income Tracker that was available with the earlier versions of QuickBooks. The user interface is pretty much the same, except that it’s more convenient. The overdue bills are displayed on the dashboard and there are options that allow you to manage them quickly and efficiently.

2. Allows You Delete Transactions in Bulk

​The new QuickBooks gives you the option of deleting transactions in bulk. There are a number of transactions that you don’t really need and could do better if they were deleted. The new QuickBooks allows you to do that. It comes with a number of filters to select the transactions to be deleted so that you can get rid of them much faster. Also, the new feature protects you against accidental deletions by allowing you to restore them should you want to.

3. A New Way of Reporting

​QuickBooks 2016 comes with new reporting tools such as a date filter for reporting for the last 6 months of 2015, for example. With the new version of QuickBooks, you will have access to much better data updating, rebuilding and verification features which allow you to keep your records free from errors. 

 4. Makes Complex Tasks Easier

​The latest version of QuickBooks comes with a number of features such as a much simplified dialog that allows you to retain and backup modifications, if any, even as you work on an existing file. It comes with better options for label printing such as printing on a single roll, as well as a very useful column sorting option for the payment screen.

 5. Much More Efficient

​QuickBooks 2016 is more efficient than the earlier versions of the software and simplifies your accounting processes considerably. It comes with several new options for multi-tasking that allow you to work on multiple files at the same time. You can have multiple users working on separate copies of the same file. QuickBooks has also significantly improved long distance collaboration greatly. 

Wrap Up

It retains all the old features of QuickBooks Pro, Accountant, Enterprise and Premier which made it the #1 software for business accounting, and gas added a number of new functionalities as well. The great thing about QuickBooks is that it improves every year. We see that with QuickBooks 2016 as well. And that in a nutshell explains why QuickBooks is so special.
