10/100 network woes

Also it seems that small businesses and mom & pop businesses use QB because that's what the accountant or bookkeeper suggested. A couple of years ago I asked a couple of the local big accounting firms about software and they only worked with QB and Sage.

I'm just glad to hear the phones aren't the problem.

Yeah, that's how you know you have incompetent accountants. That's like hiring IT people who only know Windows XP and Symantec AV and have to sell you a firewall or they can't support it. We all know what a useless, incompetent IT MSP looks like and we all know what the same sort of accountant looks like, and that's it. If you are hiring those accountants, again, you can't think much of your business. They sure don't. Using QB is a good way to announce to everyone that this business is a joke and you aren't just aware of it, you are telling everyone and having a good giggle.
QB is only used by accountants who are making extra money on the side screwing their customers by selling it to them (screwing them over and over by being bad accountants, selling them overpriced software, software that doesn't meet their needs, etc.) or by those that are incapable of using other software and that alone should be a terrifying state for your accountant to be in!

We support some big accounting offices and they do anything they can to get their customers off of QB. Accountants who care and take pride in their work won't try to get you on QB.

@scottalanmiller And as always it's a fight between professionals. Never helps that the other "professionals" go with the status quo.. Aside from Wave there is Freshbooks, Xero, Harvest and many more to choose from. I know I looked at them all when my MS Accounting was at EOL.
For kicks, I think I will hit up all the accounting firms in town to see if in 2015 they have changed their tune.

@scottalanmiller I can understand that. But in the Mom & Pop, small businesses trenches, it feels like a technological time warp most times.I have actually asked customers why they even bother using PCs if they are only using them as a cash register and a typewriter.
-
We were MS Accounting too. Then Wave. I know that Xero is highly recommended by our accountants and one that we have been or may still be seriously considering.

QB was always bad. It was equally bad a decade ago as it is now. Most mom and pops consider themselves to not be a business. They often fall far, far below my home line.

@scottalanmiller I am still waiting to see if RepairShopr integrates Wave. They have already integrated both desktop and web QB and Xero.

That would be awesome. They are here in the community, you could ask them to!!

@scottalanmiller The amount of feature upgrades they do monthly is fantastic. I've never been disappointed in their product. Support is pretty damn quick as well.
