One
of the most successful and widely used financial software
programs has joined
the world of mobile
applications. Intuit, writers of QuickBooks, has now made
available a mobile application for iPhones, Androids, Blackberries
and other smartphones. The application opens a multitude
of new opportunities for those who conduct business “on-the-go”.
The application adds many functions that help manage your
business. QuickBooks users can now manage their customers
by having the ability to access their customer data bases,
with the ability to view, add & edit customer information.
If users have an online account, the application syncs automatically
with QuickBooks giving the mobile user the most up-to-date
information whether they are in or out of the office. Also,
you can review customer balances without having to consult
or return to the office.

Accessing
data is not the only function with which the mobile users
are enabled.
QuickBooks users can continue to update jobs while out of
the office. QuickBooks Mobile gives users the option of create
estimates and invoices while at the job. Estimates can also
be converted to invoices at the job site.
The program has the option to be password protected to prevent
unauthorized use or release of information. QuickBooks Mobile
access is free for any current QuickBooks Online subscriber
and is available to QuickBooks Pro and Premier 2011 customers
through a subscription. The free application can be downloaded
directly from the Android Market or Apple iTunes.
