The 2012 versions of QuickBooks financial software from Intuit (http://www.intuit.com) are now available. New features in the QuickBooks 2012 Pro, Premier and Mac editions include:
° Calendar View, Excel Integration Refresh and Contributed Reports: you can provide new insights through a calendar view of important business tasks, such as invoicing and bill paying deadlines, improved Excel integration that retains formatting changes to reports exported from QuickBooks to Excel with each data refresh and a library of more than 1,000 (and growing) user-contributed reports.
° Lead Center, Document Center and Inventory Center: you can organize important information and make it accessible in three new central repositories.
° Batch Timesheets, Batch Invoicing for Time and Expenses and One-click Transactions: you can reduce repetitive tasks with a few clicks.
° Batch Online Banking Transaction Entry and Progress Invoicing: this simplifies the process of importing and renaming transactions from a user’s online bank to QuickBooks and reduces the steps needed to create multiple invoices from one estimate.
