How QuickBooks Premier 2008 can help you:

• Improved & simplified accounting controls help you prevent, find & correct errors. New and enhanced tools - including the always-on Audit Trail - give you more confidence in your business data and make it easier to fix errors.
  Your growing business demands more sophisticated accounting tools - but you shouldn't have to be an accountant to enjoy the benefits of using them. We've made it simple, so you can use the same tools your accountant does:
  • Audit Trail - The always-on Audit Trail makes it easier for you or your book-keeper to locate & correct errors
  • Information protection - Set permissions levels to control user access to your files, and password-protect closing dates
  • Advanced journalling - Auto-reverse journal entries & post journals directly to Retained Earnings
  Included: Remote access. Retrieve your QuickBooks files anytime, anywhere with one year of free remote access.1
• Better manage customer, supplier & employee information. You're just one click away from viewing entire relationship histories & data.
