Remote access to client data
The QuickBooks remote access service lets you use your computer to directly access a QuickBooks company file on a different computer.
Check details in client files, enter changes, set up a new company file, or train your clients on QuickBooks without ever leaving your desk.
Whatever you would normally do using QuickBooks at your clients office you can now do from your own office – including:
Bookkeeping
Account reconciliations
Running reports Month-end procedures
File setup and maintenance
Setting up reports Adjusting journal entries
Training clients
Backing up data files

Accountant Navigator
Your new Accountant Navigator is a key message centre and organisational tool that will keep you up-to-date and will make working in QuickBooks even easier than before.

From the Accountant Navigator, you can access:

All the new QuickBooks product features that accountants need the most Most-commonly used reports for accountants or your own list of preferred reports

Journal Entries
Work faster with better controls by using new Journal Entry options, including:

One-click general journal entry reversal
Automatic numbering of journal entries
Auto-filling journal memo fields
A memorised report for Journal Entries Entered Today


Reversing an entry creates a new entry – dated the first day of the following month – that reverses the debit and credit amounts. All account assignments remain unchanged.

Reconciliation Reporting
Be more productive by saving and viewing previous reconciliation reports and view a summary report of all client changes made since the last reconciliation.

The Reconcile Discrepancy report lists transactions that have changed since you last reconciled an account. This is helpful when the beginning balance that QuickBooks shows for a new reconciliation period is different than the ending balance from the bank statement for the previous period.

Report Templates
If you have a particular report you'd like your clients to run, set up the report as a memorised report on your own computer and then export the report settings as a report template. Your clients then import the template and run the memorised report using their own QuickBooks data.

The report template lets you specify all the report settings in advance – for example, the report's date, format, and filter settings. Your clients simply import the template file and then run the report from the Memorised Report list.
When you set up report templates, avoid using filter settings that may not work in other files. For example, filtering for a specific account, customer name, job, supplier, employee, or item would not be appropriate for another file. Use broad filters such as "all accounts", "all customers", and so on.

QuickBooks Accountant 2006 offers accountants a new Financial Statement Designer that is easy-to-use.

You can now format statements that meet the specific needs of your clients, using a built-in spreadsheet-like tool, You can insert columns for prior- year balances, show percentages or variances between other columns, insert rows for sub-totals, or group accounts in any way that you want.
