The Quickbooks Accountant program isn't 'special access to stuff', but Intuit does offer accountants a special version of the software (at no charge IIRC), which allows them to easily work with many customer files with no complicated licensing requirements (as is the case with many other softwares).
- donmcronald 5y ago> isn't 'special access to stuff' > a special version of the software (at no charge IIRC) So the accountants get it for free as long as they offer up their customers for Intuit to exploit / price gouge? That sounds pretty shady to me.
- nickff 5y agoThe plethora of proprietary accounting softwares are a pox upon accountants; put yourself in their shoes, and imagine that you had a variety of customers who each had their own software. Would you (as an accountant) want to pay for a license for each software, and have to learn how to use it? Do you think your clients would reimburse you (for the training and the license)? Would you have to set up some complicated and confusing virtual machine? I think that giving (outside) accountants free licenses is or should be table stakes for these accounting packages.
