Best Accounting Software EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 8 years ago

Comments: We have been with Micronetics since they used 8" Floppy Disks. In fact, you had to load them one at a time. We would NOT have had the successful practice we enjoy now, 40 plus years later. The software improves every year, but most important, the staff is amazing. If you encounter a problem, they come into your computer and fix it. The problem is usually a staff member of ours, clicking a key that the software is unhappy with, but, never seems to be a problem for their trouble shooters. I have recommended Micronetics to many, many of our colleagues, and they all love it. We would NEVER use anything else.

Pros:

It is very client friendly. A Client can track and see all their transactions in the Detail General Ledger. The financial statements are LOVED by all banks, and financial institutions they were submitted to.

Cons:

I have ZERO complaints. We have used it for over 40 years, and would not use anything else.

Efficiency Builds Over Time

5.0 8 years ago

Comments: I have been a customer of Micronetics International since about 1989. It is such a user-friendly program that I cannot imagine ever switching to another system. As you gain experience and become familiar with the quick keys and Zoom function, you will continue to be surprised and thankful that Xpert was created with so much thoughtfulness. Your fingers will fly over the keyboard and use of a mouse is rarely needed. At one point I did test other software, Creative Solutions. The payroll function was very cumbersome and difficult, and there were other restrictions on the journal entry and posting functions that were annoying. Several of my tax preparation clients use QuickBooks themselves. Even after several years of having to make adjustments for them, it really makes me appreciate Xpert's versatility. For example, in QuickBooks each line in every journal entry has to have the same date. Xpert has no such restriction. If you want to record monthly interest on a loan for the entire year at once, you can do so in Xpert. QuickBooks forces you to do 12 separate entries. There are so many other examples. Discover for yourself how easy bookkeeping can be!

Pros:

The efficiency, quick keys and not having to use the mouse all the time

Cons:

Year End Updates don't arrive until mid-January

Xpert includes unlimited support, updates, in the annual renewal. Not sure what is meant by some are accountants not CPA's but our support team can usually answer any question in under a minute as Xpert is 5th generation, bug free and has been in business 40 years.

Prior year adjustments are allowed along with the reprinting of ledgers and financial reports for up to 4 years. A prior year adjustment updates the appropriate period and for BS accounts rolls the balance forward. For P & L Accounts, it adjust the period specified and recalculates the Current Earnings (Net Income) on Balance Sheet.

Excellent accounting program

5.0 8 years ago

Comments: It was easy to learn and very easy to use. The rep at customer support is fantastic. We use it for all of our accounting clients. We were able to set up financials the way the clients wanted them. We do all of our W-2's with the program. The payroll part is very easy to use and makes printing W-2's fast. I also like that you can go back and print general ledgers for the last two years.

I love that this is integrated with word, excel, and quick books. I also like that you don’t have to worry about month end closings and can reverse a mistake with the click of the button.

My personal Opinion

5.0 8 years ago

Comments: I have been a customer of Micronetics , Inc. since approximately 1990, when the general ledger
program was called CM2000. I am still a customer as of this date, 1/24/2017, using Accounting
Expert, and then the Accounting Expert Enterprise edition. I have been very satisfied with the software over all of these years. I have found the support staff friendly and very helpful and able to quickly resolve any issues I incurred, which were very few over the many years.

It's an app that comes in handy a lot for me. It minimizes the need for the standard paper and pen.

5.0 6 years ago

Pros:

It is very useful app. You can easily track and transactions. It creates a statement that are easily comprehensible.

Cons:

However, it takes some practice to get the hang of it. A non accountant would take some time to understand the program.

The Xpert's software is highly recommended

5.0 8 years ago

Comments: I've been the user of Xpert's software of Enterprise Edition since it was launched. This software is an efficient tool to get job done: simple and consistent. It also produces beautiful financial statements in a professional way. The experts from the software company could support by remote access. I'm a worry free user.
