General Manager

Kaity H.: Hi, I'm Kaity. I'm the general manager at a small company, we have less than 15 employees, and I give QuickBooks Desktop a five. We use QuickBooks Desktop for invoicing, billing, keeping track of the bills we owe everybody else. Anything that has to do with money at our company, that's what we use QuickBooks for. Keeping track of our bank accounts, that's really important. So we use it for a lot of things. I like that QuickBooks Desktop is easy to use. It's very clear. It has all the buttons. "I want to do billing." Oh, you click on the billing button. "I need to check on a customer." There's the customer button. It's very straightforward. "We need a report." There's a reports list. So it's very straightforward to use. It would be nice if QuickBooks Desktop could be linked to more specific softwares. I know we are a landscape company, so we use certain landscapes. I'm sure electricians and plumbers, they have all different softwares, and if you could link those softwares to QuickBooks, I think that would be awesome. So maybe expand who they partner with to use everybody's different softwares that they need to run their specific companies.
