Recently upgraded from QuickBooks Pro 99 to QuickBooks 2004 – Contractor Edition. Custom home & remodeling transitioned fine, but I’m banging my head against the wall trying to set up the software to account for my spec projects. I read the manual, used QuickBooks help, and called the QuickBooks “hot line” a few times, but its no use.
I’m hoping there are other builders out there who have used QuickBooks 2004 to handling their spec home accounting … and are willing to share experiences with this QuickBooks 2004 newbie.
Looking (begging) for any & all suggestions. Thanks!

Quickbooks, The software we all love to hate!

I stayed with '99 because it is one of the more stable versions, reputedly. of course, they no longer support that one so I'm out on my own - but I don't do that much with it.
Anyway, here's a link to other users that might help.

do you use a software for accounting ??and scheduling ?? if so which one ? I do small additions & kitchen renovations i know it not really needed however i am a neat freak any thoughts or recomendations?
I use the '99QBP for accounting but not all of it. I have ADP payroll service take care of that end of things and a loical accountant to get things in the right columns for the tax man. Mostly, I use QBP for tracking where the money went, some estimating , and for reports. I still invoice by hand and am likely to begin using QBP for that soon.
Sceduling`, I do that in my head.
