[webproducers] Re: small business accounting software- recommendations?

(full disclosure - I work at Intuit)

Of course, I think QuickBooks is great.  I would say that you should also check 
out other Intuit products, such as QB Simple Start or QB Online.  

For what it's worth, there are many good deals on QuickBooks... about a month 
ago, you could get QuickBooks for FREE at Staples One-Day sale.  

There is also a website specifically for small business owners 
www.smallbusinessunited.com... lots of info, a contest where you can win 1000s 
of dollars, and free materials for running your business.  

By the way, I have found Intuit to be a hugely customer focused company, more 
than any other place that I've worked.  We do a lot of customer research too.  
:-)

Regards,

keren
