QuickBooks Premier Nonprofit Edition 2008 [OLD VERSION] Review

Product is poor
I am very disappointed with this product. It is not easy to use. The online banking feature, which is supposed to be a huge timesaver is horribly cumbersome. Sometime in the last month something changed with either my bank or quickbook and now it doesn't work. If you need any help, it requires $79 to get someone from India to sell you a maintenance plan.
I would rather find an excel template to create income statement and balance sheets than this bloated, cumbersome, unproductive waste of time.

quick books for non profit completely useless
I am the head of a small non-profit with one product, a DVD which came out in September. My accountant and I sat down with QuickBooks for non-profit, prepared to set up system that would work for our situation. She is an advisor for Intuit. Three hours later, we still couldn't make it run. The only NOnprofit feature is the title. It is completely based on an industrial model of inventory, labor, etc. I finally returned it and got a refund, but that didn't include what I paid the accountant (who gave me a break, but had to be paid for her time.)

Quickbooks needs to go further for non-profits
Yes, the non-profit version is better than the standard version. But how much better? I haven't decided. The terminology is still all wrong. Donors have to be labeled as "customers." You can't assign people to multiple categories. For example, if you have a vendor who also donates to the organization (very common in the non-profit world), you cannot list them in both categories under the same name. So you have list them in one category as "Jane Doe" and in the other category as "J. Doe" or "Jane S. Doe" or "Jane Doe 1." The process for accepting donations and applying them to a particular donor is far too involved. As far as I can tell, you have to make an invoice, then "receive payment" from them, then show that the payment has been deposited (and yes, you have to open up three different windows and put in the info three different times to accomplish this). That's way too many steps to go through for every single donation! I'm very tech savy and can intuitively figure out most programs (and I know Quickbooks, I've been using it in this business for the last 3 years). But for this version, I've ordered a help book. I hope it will help me address most of these issues (the program doesn't come with any manuals, and the in-program help section is 90% useless). I sense that this program should be able to do all the things it promises - like tracking donors and helping with thank you letters - but I haven't been able to use these options in a practicle way yet...

Quickbooks Premier NonProfit Edition
If you are looking for software that has good dynamic reporting for your donors this is NOT it. I was able to get the same reports out of Quicken for my donors. I have to manually change each donors name to appear on the top of their report. When you have over 100 donors and need to provide them frequent donation reports, this is not efficient. I reported this to Intuit. Maybe they'll improve this feature in the future.
