Reckon Retail Starter Kit 2010/12 Full Version

Easy to set-up, learn and use

QuickBooks uses plain English and has an Easy Setup Wizard to get your business up and running within minutes. QuickBooks’ user-friendly home page ensures all frequently used activities and features are available within a few clicks of your mouse. Simply fill out familiar forms on your screen – such as cheques or invoices – and QuickBooks does the accounting for you.

Point of Sale made easy

Retail Point of Sale Lite* is more than a computerised cash register, designed with tools you need to ensure sales are processed quickly, giving your staff more time to spend with your customers.
*If you are currently using Point of Sale 2007/08 or earlier versions, you will need to upgrade to Retail Point of Sale Professional 2011/12 to continue using your database.

Comprehensive payroll management

All payroll information is centralised and available at your fingertips in the Payroll Centre. From here you can perform all payroll tasks, drill down to previous payroll transactions, enter time for all employees in a single window, create and schedule payments, email pay slips to your employees, store employee existing and past superfund details and even split their pays into multiple bank accounts.

The inbuilt security safeguards and information messages allow users to edit or void past payroll payments without the need to recalculate entire pay cheques while the Detailed and Streamlined Payroll Summary Reports helps make end of period reporting and analysis effortless. QuickBooks Plus integrated payroll will save you time and money by avoiding duplicate data entry and will help you avoid hassles associated with incorrect payroll withholding.

Comprehensive employee record management

Record detailed employee information such as leave, wages, promotions and contact details using the Employee Organiser Wizard, as well as produce sophisticated summaries of your employees’ details and history. By storing your important employee information in one easy-to-access location you can better manage your employees and improve business efficiency.

Monitor business performance

More than 100 reports and graphs can be generated within the Reports Centre to help you keep a close eye on your business. With just one click you can also drill down into reports to find detailed financial information. You can even convert the report into a PDF file for email, so the recipient views the report just as you see it in QuickBooks.

Manage your business more effectively

QuickBooks is much more efficient than spreadsheets, word-processing or paper ledgers. Quickly and easily manage basic tasks like printing cheques, paying bills, generating reports, invoicing customers and tracking expenses. You’ll spend less time and money on bookkeeping and paperwork – and have more time to work on other important areas of your business.

Backup your company data automatically

integration with QuickBooks means your company data file is automatically backed up helping you to keep your business data safe and secure.

*Reckon Tools SuperLink is an additional product that can be purchased separately. Prices start from $110 per annum for 0-5 employees.

An ‘always on’ Audit Trail

The ‘always on’ Audit Trail makes it easier for your accountant to spot possible trouble spots or mis-postings in your accounts.

Work more efficiently with your accountant or bookkeeper

The Accountant’s copy of your company data file allows you to work more collaboratively with your accountant, with a dividing date that clearly delineates which periods are for your accountant to work in, and which are for you. QuickBooks also allows you to perform a bank reconciliation – even if your Accountant is working on your file.

Industry specific Chart of Accounts

QuickBooks also includes 21 industry specific Chart of Accounts, so only accounts relevant to your business are included.

QuickBooks home page

All key tasks and functions are available within a few clicks of the home page with the Customer, Supplier, Employee and Report Centres. You can also customise how information is displayed in each of these centres. Plus control access to your confidential account balances with the QuickBooks’ Hide/Show preference. Simply switch your Account Balance previews to “off” to help ensure only you have access to your business’ confidential account balances.
