New and Improved Features for 2013

Save Time on Billing with Batched Invoicing
Now, you can invoice multiple customers simultaneously, rather than just one at a time. Create a complete set of invoices for customers with the same charges. Simply make the invoice and choose the customers to whom you wish to send it. Step-by-step instructions make this feature easy to implement.

Get Paid Faster by Offering Intuit Payment Network as a Payment Method
Add an Intuit Payment Network electronic link to emailed and printed invoices, and have payments deposited directly into your bank account. It's convenient for your customers, since they need not be members of IPN, and you get paid quicker. Transactions are automatically downloaded to QuickBooks, allowing you to easily keep track of them. You only pay 50 cents per bank transaction - no monthly, setup, or cancellation fees.

Attach Documents and Get More Organized
Benefit from the ability to attach contracts, proposals, receipts, and other important documents in QuickBooks for easy reference and tax time preparation.

Easily Reconcile QuickBooks Data with Bank Statements
Reduce errors, identify discrepancies, and easily locate the source with a keyword search. You can filter results by date ranges or sort to quickly identify transactions that may require reconciliation. Intuit has also made collaborating with your bookkeeper simple - even if he or she is a Windows user - with easy data conversion.

Easily Import Product, Customer, and Service Information
Bring outside product, customer, or service information into QuickBooks directly from spreadsheets, rather than entering data manually. If there's anything else not present in the spreadsheet that needs to be added in order to complete your entries, QuickBooks prompts you to make sure your information is accurate and complete. You can easily import contacts from Address Book/Contacts and Gmail, and flag them as Customers, Vendors, or Employees.
