Intuit Quickbooks Simple Start 2012

Quickbooks Simple Start 2012 is Intuit's entry-level bookkeeping software aimed at those with little financial expertise who just need a way to manage cash flow, produce estimates or invoices, and create tax reports.

The software is suitable for both cash-based businesses and those who invoice customers. It has VAT support, but it can only file VAT returns on a cash basis and can only use a single currency, although this is unlikely to be a problem for most small businesses in the UK.

A sample company file is included that is useful for getting to know how the program works, and there's a selection of excellent interactive tutorial videos. Data can't be imported from other programs or spreadsheets, so this program is suitable only if you're starting fresh and not switching from a rival program.

In other places the interface looks quite daunting and old-fashioned, but is generally quite logical, with navigation buttons to help users keep track. Clicking an icon brings up sub-menus with associated tasks, such as creating new sales receipts or receiving payments for invoices. A more taxing problem, especially if you have less than perfect eyesight, is that text was quite small when viewed on a 22in screen with a resolution of 1,920x1,080 pixels and cannot be made larger.
