QuickBooks Maintenance Release 8 is available-DOWNLOAD IT

Submitted by Mary on September 02, 2010

Intuit is always a bit behind the 8-ball when dealing with Microsoft changes. Today's release is supposed to eliminate the 64-bit issues and make it easier to work with office 2010. I hope that is the case. I know too many people who purchased computers and office 2010 and can't integrate it with their QuickBooks.

I'm going to install office 2010 this weekend and see how it goes, but if you have purchased a computer in the last year, this update will make your life much easier.

Just Took a Quick Tour of QuickBooks Enterprise 2011

Congratulations to Intuit! They finally made an upgrade worth paying for! There are a lot of new enhancements and new features that will make everyone's life easier. The beta that I reviewed wasn't quite baked yet, but if they follow through and develop everything that is promised, it will be a substantial jump from 2010 and worth the upgrade.

Submitted by Mary on August 10, 2010

How do you maximize your use of QuickBooks and MIsys SBM?
How do you know that you are getting the most out of each software component?

Mobile CFO is pleased to organize and administrate the Twin Cities QB/MIsys Users Group. This group meets every 6 weeks at an individual member company where we will tour the plant and review their MIsys SBM setup. There will also be a specific discussion topic for each meeting, but other module questions are always encouraged. For more information please visit:

viewmypaychecks.com - watch the 25% discount

Submitted by Mary on January 13, 2010

I know that everyone is hard at work proofing the books to get ready for tax time. One nice feature is the ability to publish paychecks and W2s on www.viewmypaychecks.com. 

It is an Intuit cloud application which allows payroll admins to safely publish information to employees. I've seen it in action and I like it alot. It is one more way that Intuit is bringing great value to the marketplace. However, when you publish W2s, Intuit gives you a link to a "25%" discount off of Turbo Tax. I'm a Turbo Tax user, so I eagerly clicked on the link. It is 25% off of Turbo Tax WITHOUT a state.

So if you happen to live in an area without state income tax, it is a great deal. BUT if you have to download a state file for Turbo Tax deluxe, it is $36.95, making the total $59.99. That is the retail price of Turbo Tax deluxe.

Happy New Year-What Rev version are you using for QB 2009?

Submitted by Mary on January 02, 2010

The QB 2009 saga continues... as you are getting ready to report and remit sales tax (I'm doing it today), PLEASE make sure that you are on Rev version 10. All you have to do is press F2 on the keyboard and the QB stats page will come up. In the middle of the page, you will see "versions used in file". Mine reads R10 12/24/09.

If your version is 9 or lower, click on this link to get detailed information on how to update your file.

Remember that this only affects QB 2009. So those of you who have already upgraded can relax.

and oh by the way, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
