"Transferring from QuickBooks Pro to Enterprise was dead easy. I didn't have to run any systems in parallel — I just transferred it right over and started working in the new system."

"With the way permissions are set up, nobody has access to anything they don't need, especially payroll. And I can see all the activity, if I need to, in the log file."

"I was very familiar with another software that we used at the construction company I used to work at. But when I compared Enterprise to the other system, Enterprise was much lower in cost."¹
