What users say about QuickBooks Enterprise's value for money

Submitting hours for the wrong week unintentionally can be frustrating because there is no way to reverse it without supervisor permissions.
User friendly design that is easy to learn and navigate, great for invoicing people as well as paying invoices, good organization of invoices and payments.

It has a great interface which makes it feel very easy to use and has a great set of templates you can use from the beginning for various accounting needs.
For a small company as myself the excellent invoice features has been very helpful and useful.
