QuickBooks is a reputable solution for small organizations with basic needs. However, when your business is no longer "small" and your needs are outgrowing QuickBooks, it may be time to explore other options. Business growth and development should be celebrated and InterDyn Artis recommends Intacct as a solution that will accompany and further your success.
Here are 7 reasons you should make the switch from QuickBooks to Intacct:
1. Upgrades
| With Intacct there is no need to buy a new version every year. Intacct is a subscription service that upgrades regularly, so you will no longer need to worry about those pesky notices saying that your version will no longer be supported. Intacct will always support you. |
2. Data caps
| With Intacct, they're aren't any. The life of your business is assumed to never end and your data is safe and won't extend the capacity of the software. No more losing days/weeks/months of work and searching for a useable backup version. |
3. Audit trail
| Audit & Compliance can become a hefty weight. Paper back-ups and searching through filing cabinets to find that piece of paper from months ago can become a time consuming activity. Intacct has the ability to store files and attach them to the transaction(s). Intacct also has the capability to let you know which user made changes to transactions and when. |
4. Cloud-based
| As long as you have access to the Internet, you can see the real time activity of your business from anywhere and at any time. Having the ability to access your business information whenever necessary is becoming more and more important. As a bonus, you can even auto-populate reports and approve expenses from your iPhone, and no one will know if you're still in your pajamas! |
5. Scalability
| From changing processes or adjusting the way you transact to tacking on entire lines of business or associated entities, Intacct eliminates growing pains by customizing your workflows and adding modules or third party vendors when needed. Instead of having to adjust the way you do things , Intacct adjusts to your business needs and grows with your company. |
6. Customized reports
| Manual offline reporting and processes can be error prone and creating a new excel worksheet every time you need a basic report can become tedious. Intacct’s robust reporting has multiple ways of getting you the report you need with as little effort as possible. In addition, you can easily make your report look professional and not "out-of-the box". |
7. Permissions galore
| Too much information can be a bad thing, but you have to get the work done. With Intacct, you can enable employees to have access to all of the information they need without fear of giving them too much information. Intacct's interface will only show a user what they have permissions to see and with easily adjustable features, permissions can be managed without worry. |
