Designed for Professionals Supporting Multiple QuickBooks Clients
New--Save Time by Working in Two Different Company Files at the Same Time
Increase your efficiency and improve your workflow by opening two different company files at the same time. Now you can enter inter-company transactions and field multiple client questions with greater ease.
New--Manage All Your Clients' Files, Passwords, and Company File Upgrades in One Place
Save time searching for the right version year of QuickBooks to open your client files, remembering countless usernames and passwords, and upgrading client files to the latest version year. QuickBooks File Manager, available exclusively in QuickBooks Accountant 2011, is the one-stop-shop for your QuickBooks file management needs. This standalone application can be accessed as an icon on your desktop, or via the Accountant menu.
- Streamline how you organize QuickBooks files, and see all QuickBooks files on your PC from one easy-to-read window. Files are organized by type, location, version year, and last date modified.
- Group clients and their QuickBooks files by common characteristics and add notes for each client.
- Spend less time managing and finding usernames and passwords with the built-in password vault.
- Reduce the time it takes to upgrade QuickBooks files using the automated batch upgrade tool instead of upgrading files individually.
New--Get Deeper Insights Into Your Clients' Business Faster and More Accurately
No more complex, time-consuming workarounds, or separate spreadsheet, now you can create balance sheets by class directly in QuickBooks Accountant 2011.
New--Save Time Creating Identical Invoices
Save time and streamline workflow by creating identical invoices in batch instead of individually. Great for companies that provide services on a recurring basis!
Improved--Streamline the Process of Combining Your Changes to Your Clients' Accountant's Copy Company File
You no longer have to rely on your clients to merge your changes; Intuit now does it for you across our secure servers. Your clients will receive an email notice that an updated file is available. Clients then open their company file and from the File menu, select Accountant's Copy Import Accountant Changes. QuickBooks will then automatically import changes to the company file without further actions from your client. A fee of $9.95 per year applies for access to Intuit's secure servers.
New--Save Time Using Client Data Review in Multi-User Mode
You can now use Client Data Review in multi-user mode! For the first time, you can write-off invoices and reclassify transactions in batch (versus individually), easily see changes to account balances on one screen, and more--all while multiple users access the same file.
Save an Average of Four Hours Per Client by Quickly Finding and Fixing Common Data Entry Errors With This Unique Set of Eight Specialized Tools
Client Data Review automates and consolidates separate processes so that accountants can quickly find and fix common data entry errors. This set of 8 specialized tools, available only in QuickBooks Accountant, can be accessed under the Accountant menu and will help you:
- Reclassify transactions in batch instead of individually.
This tool allows you to find transactions that may have an incorrect account and reclassify them into the correct account. You can reclassify transactions individually or group transactions if you are reclassifying them to the same account. - Write-off invoices in batch instead of individually
This tool allows you to specify and write off a group of invoices to the write-off account you specify. There is no limit to the number of invoices you can write off at one time. Internally, each invoice that you write off is discounted. A memo is added to the invoice and the discount transaction. All invoices that you write off with this feature are tracked. To see the list anytime during the review, select Audit Trail of Review from the Client Data Review center. - Identify multiple payments that appear to be sales tax payments, but were not recorded with the Pay Sales Tax function from one window
This happens when a client uses a regular check to pay Sales Tax. Using checkboxes, you can change all or some of the payments to Sales Tax Check with just a few clicks. - Quickly see and then fix inventory discrepancies from one screen
This tool contains several views of potential inventory problems. By changing which items are shown and the inventory criteria, you can see items in a way that best suits your client's company. After the inventory list is shown, you can Quick Zoom to an inventory item and correct any errors. Status columns help identify irregularities in inventory, such as negative quantities or items that are out of balance. - Easily identify added, changed, deleted, or merged list items from the previous review period
The Review List Changes tool reports all list changes for the Chart of Accounts, Item List, Payroll Items, and Fixed Asset Items. This tool also contains direct access to the Customer and Vendor Centers and the Review Item Setup window. - Easily see changes to account balances from the previous close
The beginning balances in a client's books for the review period can be different from the balances from the accountant's records for the previous period. This feature displays the differences in balances and suggests adjusting entries to correct the opening balances. - Match unapplied vendor and customer payments/credits with invoices/charges from one window
This tool helps clean-up unlinked transactions by listing payments/credits in the right column and invoices/charges in the left column. Using checkboxes you can select which payments/credits to match up with invoices/charges. - Clear-up undeposited funds account from one screen
If a deposit is created manually, rather than by selecting payments in the Payments to Deposit window, the amount of the payment can stay in the Undeposited Funds account indefinitely. From one screen, this tool allows you to link deposits to payments so you can quickly clear out the Undeposited Funds account.
Save Time and Money by Working From One Edition of QuickBooks
QuickBooks Accountant 2011 is the master QuickBooks program and includes fully functioning current-year editions of QuickBooks Pro, Premier and Industry Editions for Windows--so you can easily view client files in whichever version they use, allowing for easier collaboration because you see exactly what your client sees.
Improve Productivity by Simultaneously Working on the Same Company File as Your Client
Reduce your and your clients' downtime and increase efficiency by simultaneously working on the same files as your clients. No more waiting for a client to finish working on a file--while they work in the current period, you can work in the past period.
