Bookkeeper: Easily Manage Your Business Finances

This product is very user UNfriendly.

Bookkeeper 2009 is really easy to follow. This is the perfect system for a small business or keeping track of your household expenses. The price was excellent.

Bought this at Office Max, err Office Depot¿, and I have to say what a pile of garbage it is. Even my own mother who does book keeping says this program is way too confusing and can see where there could be a lot finance errors. Heck, not to mention a whole bit of spelling errors within the program itself. Tell me again why I should put in my SSN into this program again? I cant even give it a half star! X-C

Not all information is giving

It’s not very good. I got what I paid for. This seems more like an old dos program that is not really windows.

Very nice product, a bit lost in getting some things set up properly

Purchased the software and tax update on Friday, June 7, 2019. I immediately started getting an error message when opening the program as shown in the photo above. I proceeded to create my company and entering a test employee. When I ran the payroll, taxes were not being deducted. I filed 3 separate technical support tickets, one of which they responded to. They included a link to the tax update which I already had. I informed them I already had this update and the response I received was a link to create a new ticket with no explanation as to why I needed to create a new ticket and to send them a back-up of the program with no instructions on how to create the back-up. I called the phone support and they refuse to help you without paying first, even if their product isnt working.

Had issue with importing from Quickbooks 2012 but downloaded to excel, made text file and it imported. Now learning how it works. Dont use most features since we are a HOA and only need to invoice owners, receive payment and pay for services. Looks like it has capability to do what I need once I figure out how to make it work properly. With nearly all the other software having only subscription based software, this looks to be a reasonable solution.

I bought the 2009 version (on the cheap) to test out and see if I liked the software so I could decide whether I would like to pay full price for the current version plus another 30 bucks or so for the tax tables to handle payroll. So far I am not terribly impressed. Im giving it one star, and I will update this listing with specific complaints until I break down, buy a better bookkeeping software, and throw this in the trash. 1) The payroll portion wont work smoothly unless you shell out an extra 30 bucks for the yearly tax tables. 2) There is no way to delete things. I thought I would make a fake bank account, and a fake employee so that I could figure out how to print paychecks. Now the software is convinced that I paid out $191.60 to my esteemed colleague Fakey McFakerson and wont let me delete the fake bank account. I am going to have to uninstall the software entirely to get rid of this transaction. So, if you plan to fool around with the software to figure out how it works, set up a company called Fake Company on which to experiment. You can never delete that either, but at least you wont have permanent mistakes in your real accounts.

I purchased the program at the beginning of 2021 and paid additional so that I could download the program again within 2 years. I got a new computer and tried to download the program and I kept getting an error code. I contacted support and they gave me a few work arounds that did not work all of that for them to tell me that since they have upgraded the program I would have to purchase it again. Apparently there is nothing that will allow an older version to upgrade to the newest version. With being told that I will look for another program because upgrades our out of the control of the customer and it is not our fault when a company choses to upgrade their software. Its sad to know that you can purchase the program one month and two months later if they upgrade the program you as the customer are responsible for purchasing the entire program again.
