5.0

Loura M.: My name is Loura. I am an office administrator at U.S. Lawns. My rating for QuickBooks Time would be a five out of five. It works very well, as far as when someone is on the road. They can just stop with one client and then pick up with another while they're on the road. I can do geo-searching so that I can see where they are. So, overall, I would completely recommend QuickBooks Time. It was actually the first one that was implemented because we used QuickBooks for the accounting, so it was actually the first thing that we ever used. We chose QuickBooks was because of how easy it was for it to sync. We use several different groups of software, and QuickBooks basically syncs with everything. So it's just very easy to be within one software and be able to see what's going on with our books, using the [inaudible 00:00:57] software. Extremely easy to integrate, immediately. Simple as logging in and just everything just imports, so it's very easy. The only advice that I could possibly give to someone who is new to QuickBooks is, there's just a wealth of information, so you can just take a class that's available within the software. And it'll teach you everything you need to know. It's just very easy to learn. It's very intuitive. So it doesn't take a lot, if you're new to it, to learn it.
