The ability to export and import between QuickBooks, Word and Excel is very useful. Especially if you want to manipulate the toltals in your reports and do mathematical analysis, you really need the functionality of Excel.

We run several business accounts in the same software, including one structured for our home accounting that we simply named Home Account as "business" name.

I used the Simple Start (stripped down) version for a while but found that my need for multiple âcompaniesâ made the full version more useful (I also do classical recording and am a pro French horn player and do computer tech support). In a lot of ways I like the Simple Start just fine but it is definitely not the full version.

You can set up multiple "businesses" and treat each one separately. My understanding of the Pro edition is that the features would not be of such great help unless you are doing a lot of importing and exporting of data from Word or Excel. If you have any other questions about how to use it for your business, let me know, I'd be happy to chat with you.

At Sam's the Pro edition is about double the price of Simple Start. It seems that Simple Start will allow me to do whatever I want--the touted advantages of the Pro edition seem not to apply to me. However, I wonder if the Pro edition provides any additional customer data options. This is not apparent from the packaging. Thanks, Richard Morgan
