Ask the Accountant…
Question: I am using QB Premier and am starting a second business. Can I do that without buying the program again?
Answer: QB Premier allows you to create multiple companies within your program at no additional cost.
On the other hand, QuickBooks Online charges you an additional subscription charge for each company you create, making it quite expensive.
QuickBooks Premier and Enterprise can be modified to better serve ad specialty distributors. Harriet Gatter is a QuickBooks ProAdvisor, a former accounting professor and a former ad specialty distributor. She advises ad specialty distributors to use QuickBooks Premier and Enterprise, often in conjunction with other industry-specific software, to manage the complexities of the ad specialty business, with the results being time saved, errors eliminated and an overall accurate accounting of your business.
