The improved reporting feature along with the new reminder window are definitly the best one in QuickBooks 2015.
With an improved income tracker, multi-user admin and registration process, I am enjoying QuickBooks 2015!
Quick Books 2015 Premier is NOT any where near older version.
Fonts are TOO big and lots of unnecessary space in the chart of accounts.
Dear sir/madam,
I would like to know what is the difference between Primier 2016 & Pro 2016?
Thanks.
QuickBooks Pro is the basic version of QuickBooks. It mainly targets start-ups that are businesses that have just opened. These businesses don’t require much in accounting so Pro offers them extensive accounting solutions for their business at an affordable price.
QuickBooks Premier on the other hand is an advanced version of QuickBooks Pro. It has all the features of the pro version and in addition to them it has additional features tailored to the type of business you are running whether it is contracting, manufacturing, retail or others. It targets companies that are established and aim at growing.
Hope this answered your question.
