Keep everything together in one place
Stop digging through piles of paper, switching applications, or searching through files to find the information you need. Simple Start organizes everything from customers and vendors, to sales, estimates, and invoices, to receipts, deposits, checks, and expenses--all in one place.
Create estimates, invoices, and sales receipts
With Simple Start you can easily create professional-looking estimates, invoices, and sales receipts just by entering information into simple forms. No more toggling back and forth between spreadsheets and a word processor to create bills and track them. To save you even more time, you can easily turn an estimate into an invoice, or an invoice into a payment.
Record your expenses quickly and painlessly
Tired of rustling through check registers and credit card statements to see where your money is going? Use Simple Start to write checks and track your expenses. Every time you pay a bill, Simple Start keeps your records up-to-date so you'll know where you stand.
Manage payroll within QuickBooks and save time (additional fees apply)
QuickBooks Payroll services help make your payroll easier and more accurate. They offer automatic calculations, the latest tax tables and forms, at–a–glance screens to manage activities, and built–in Direct Deposit.
QuickBooks Payroll is a subscription–based service that works right inside QuickBooks, so there's no double–entry, and nothing new to learn.
Accept credit cards in Simple Start
Everything you need to accept credit transactions is in Simple Start. There's no need to buy additional hardware or software. Credit card sales are automatically processed as you enter them in Simple Start, so all your financial information is organized in one place.

Get the numbers you need
Simple Start keeps track of tax-related income and expenses year-round as you write checks and receive payments, so there's no need to scramble at tax time.
The 'Income Tax Summary' report helps you complete federal income tax forms. Print it out, and copy the totals to Schedule C and other tax forms. You can also give the report to your account or download the numbers into TurboTax, the best-selling tax preparation software (sold separately).
One more click creates your 'Sales Tax Due,' which summarizes the sales tax you owe to your city, state, or county tax boards. It's really that simple.
Know exactly where your business stands
Instantly create reports on profit & loss, sales, expenses, unpaid invoices, and more.
Essential business information at your fingertips
You'll always know where your business stands with Simple Start's reports. See who owes you money and how much. Find out who your best customers are and what they're buying. Click on any item in the report to zoom in for the details–all the way down to individual transactions.

Professional–looking templates you can customize
Choose from sales receipt, invoice, estimate, and credit memo form templates that you can customize to help you present a branded, professional image. You can change styles, colors, and fonts. You can show or hide fields. You can even include your company logo!
Calculate totals accurately and automatically
No more erasing and rewriting totals or double–checking calculations. Simple Start helps keep your transactions and records accurate by doing all the math for you, including sales tax, discounts, and markups. If you change a transaction, any figures linked to it update instantly.
Re–use information instead of retyping it
Type information about a customer, vendor, or product one time, and never type it again. Enter the first few letters on any invoice, check, or other form and Simple Start fills the rest in automatically. Easily create new estimates by duplicating and editing existing ones. And when you finish a job, click a button to turn your estimate into an invoice. Billing has never been so easy!

Rating:  - QuickBooks Simple Start Plus Pack 2008
I was very happy with my purchase. It was a very good price, everything was packaged still new, and delivery was fast. Thank you.
Rating:  - Wrong Editon for me, but still a great product!!
I've never questioned the quality of the QuickBooks product, only the price. So when I purchased this version I was looking for a deal. Because this version does not allow you to track time I had to upgrade to pro for an additional $180 dollars or so. Intuit made the process easy, allowed for me to download the software right then, and sent me the disks later.
QuickBooks Simple Start was not the option for me, but the product arrived in a timely fashion.

Rating:  - Simple Start really IS simple; Pro is better
I'm a freelance writer and only need Quickbooks (QB) to track expenses, income, and customize the invoice for the type of work I perform. I got an initial trial of QB Pro 2006 and worked on my records on that. I got Simple Start (SS) '08 and tried to import my files but SIMPLE START IS NOT RETROACTIVE. Then I had the pleasure of going to the Intuit site and found that they were offering SS for free for a limited time. (The offer is now over.) SS can be used by someone who is using it FOR THE VERY ... Read More
Rating: - Great for freelancers
I hate the thought of doing accounting, I barely understand it. My strength is on the creative side. Doing your invoices manually in a spreadsheet or wordprocessor or graphics program may seem like the easy way out, but it's actually foolish when you could use a product like QB Simple Start. Think about it, do those other methods keep track of when you billed someone and remind you if payment is late? Do they make it easy to see what you earned for tax purposes? Do they contain a database of your ... Read More
Rating:  - Too many rules and it ties up your computer. U will never be able to sell it to anyone
This Intuit software is like all intuits. You are the sole owner. YOu have to register. You have to update. You have to allow intuit to monitor your business by the internet. You have to check in often. If you miss any one of these your computer will no longer be able to use any Quickbooks again. You will not be able to sell it to anyone. You will have to buy more software or another computer just to go back and use quickbooks once again. I lost $79 and many long hours on the phone to fix my case. ... Read More
