New Features in QuickBooks 2011
QuickBooks 2011 Saves Small Businesses Time in the Office

The New QuickBooks Version Provides Faster Access to Data, Increases Efficiency and Enables Access to
Essential Information On-the-Go.

Small businesses will find more ways to save time and better manage finances with the latest version of QuickBooks financial software. QB 2011 includes several new features that make it easy for managers and business owners locate critical data quickly, perform everyday tasks efficiently and retrieve essential business information remotely.

"For every small business owner, time is money. They want to focus on their business - their passion - not on their books," said Dan Wernikoff, vice president and general manager of Intuit’s Financial Management Solutions division. "With QuickBooks 2011, we’ve focused on helping them put seconds, minutes and even hours back on the clock."

QuickBooks Pro and Premier 2011 build on prior versions by streamlining important accounting tasks, such as invoicing and collecting payments. The new Customer Snapshot and Customer and Vendor History features provide at-a-glance views of important customer and vendor details. Users can also take advantage of the power of QuickBooks Connect, a new service that lets small businesses access key QuickBooks data remotely via the Internet or a mobile device. Additionally, as with previous versions, QuickBooks 2011 helps small business owners stay organized by allowing them to have their business information in one place.

A simplified startup process makes it easier and faster for new small businesses users to get up and running in QuickBooks 2011. New this year, the Quick Start Center guides users through installation and lets them import business contacts directly from their Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail webmail accounts.

Get Faster Access to Insights
For many small businesses, QuickBooks is the hub of important customer, vendor, and inventory information. Accessing the right data at the right time can result in better business decisions and faster responses to customers. Upgraded features give customers quick access to important business information:
  • Customer Snapshot offers a consolidated view of an individual customer’s purchase history, average days to pay, and outstanding balance. This helps small businesses make timely decisions on customer requests.
  • QuickBooks Search lets users quickly locate any customer, account, report or invoice details within their QuickBooks repository with a simple keyword search.
  • Customer and Vendor History provides at-a-glance views of important customer and vendor details, such as history, estimates and past orders, on a single screen.
  • Balance Sheet by Class provides a way for QuickBooks Premier users to separately track multiple funds, departments or locations in a single, easy-to-access report.

Make Everyday Tasks More Efficient
Administrative work, such as tracking and collecting payments, can be time-intensive and costly. A recent Intuit survey found that small businesses leave an average of $1,500 per month on the table from overdue payments. New features to increase efficiency in getting paid:

  • Batch Invoicing lets small businesses owners who often bill many customers for the same service streamline the process by creating one template invoice to send to all related customers.
  • Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail Integration allows businesses to easily send invoices, estimates, and other e-mails from their preferred webmail service directly from QuickBooks.
  • Collections Center helps users to quickly identify overdue and almost-due invoices, and then directly e-mail collection notices from their Outlook, Yahoo, Gmail, or Hotmail accounts.
  • Intuit PaymentNetwork (sold separately) provides a way for a small business’s customers to instantly pay their invoices.

Essential QuickBooks Data On-the-Go
Millions of small business owners now work away from the office at least part time. QuickBooks 2011 provides these remote workers access to essential data anywhere, from the airplane to the jobsite, giving them the flexibility they need to meet business demands.

Offered as an add-on service to QuickBooks 2011 and sold separately, QuickBooks Connect provides access to essential QuickBooks customer and transaction data online or on a mobile phone. Users can create and manage invoices, pull customer information, check the status of a payment, and get real-time answers to questions on the go. Secure data automatically syncs with QuickBooks, so users will always have the most up-to-date information at their fingertips.
