Reviews for QuickBooks Simple Start Plus Pack 2008:
I am a CPA who has advised clients with small businesses to use this product to organize income and expenses. This is a very stripped down version of the Quickbooks line,but it is built to get those micro businesses out of the shoebox and rag-tag spreadsheets,and into a structured,logical format.
I would highly recommend Simple Start for the following:
--Small Schedule C,owner-operated businesses with no employees;
--Small services businesses,and;
--Those who may have an apartment building or two.

Look out! Do not be fooled. I bought this software and discovered,to my dismay,that it will NOT import sales data from web shopping cart applications. You may download customer data,and vendor data,but NOT sales. In other words,it is a book keeping program which does NOT keep books,unless you enjoy manually re-entering data from your web sales. LUCKILY (ha!),they allow you to "unlock" the program instantly (!) for another $160. Just buy Quick Books Pro to begin with - then you'll actually be able to keep books!
It IS buried in the small print on the Amazon site,but you can't upgrade your old Quickbooks to this version,so it was just a waste of money. Intuit claims to have a money back guarantee,but we'll see if they honor Amazon's email as a proper receipt.
Quickbooks Simple Start is not so simple to use unless you go through all of the tutorials and I wonder if even then it is simple to use. It is not direct in its icons. I use Quicken 6.0 for my personal recordkeepinig. What a nice program. Very clear. You know where to find your accounts. You know where to find your categories. Not with Quickbooks Simple Start. That stuff is buried somewhere and there is no way to change the icons to let you get easily to various sections of the program. The reconcile feature is buried in the pull down menus under "For your Accountant". That's dumb for a small business. A small business owner does most everything when it comes to accounting. I even do my own taxes. It's difficult to figure out how to pay your sales tax with the program. All of the various bank and credit card accounts are lumped together with your categories for income,expense,etc. If I had known it was like this I certainly would not have purchased it. I think I would have been better off using the free Microsoft money account than paying $100.00 for this fluff. It does keep the records but there is some puzzlement as to how to set them up.
Simple Start was earlier priced at $99,and is now FREE (via Intuit download)! Given QuickBooks' famed ease-of-use,that puts it into the no-brainer category. Its targeted towards small businesses who are just getting started keeping their books using software. I can imagine every Accountant and CPA recommending this to their clients so they make tax time less burdensome.
Moreover,once you create your books using QuickBooks Simple Start,you can migrate with a single click into the more powerful QuickBooks Pro,QuickBooks Premier and QuickBooks Enterprise [that is what Intuit hopes you do long-term!].
This version also enables Excel imports/exports,and has the same list length as Pro.
