[moneydance] Now we're in the Big Time!

[Edward A. Melia, C.P.A./Attorney]

GK,

I suspect that the reason those accountants advised that you move to 
Quickbooks is because they never heard of Moneydance and are 
unwilling to learn/purchase a new program.  In addition, since the 
majority of accountants (probably 75% to 95%)already have Quickbooks 
that is their "standard" operating system for their office.  Learning 
a new program drives up engagement time and fees to the client.

If you were to give your accountant a copy of Moneydance (I'm 
assuming a legal copy by purchasing the program for the accountant) 
the accountant may still reject it after a quick "test".  Almost all 
accountants expect to be able to go to the Reports menu and print a 
1) trial balance and a 2) general ledger.  The last time I looked, 
those reports are not in the Moneydance Reports menu.  They will also 
want the ability to record Adjusting Journal Entries in the program 
(it's not in Moneydance).
