Quick Books has made the accounting processes easier. People with no accounting experience can do simple accounting tasks. Where accounting used to require several pages and lots of desk space it now only takes up the space of a computer and monitor. It puts all the information in one place. Made it easier to keep track of all of a customers information. It also allows people to access their books when they are not at the office without having to carry a bunch of books. It has made it possible to have co-worker in a different office or even a different state.
People would still need to know some accounting. People should not put all their faith in the software. All software has bugs and can mess up or give faulty information. You would also have to know how to place items or transaction in the right account.
