Norm,
We use Quickbooks to keep track of sales. Use it to print invoices and record payments. Also, used as a method to reconcile our deposits to the Treasurers Office. Lots of departments are using it in a similar fashion. It has a boat load of features we don't use. I set it up for office and I'm definitely not an accountant. Our infernal auditor has access to it to see if we don't have girlfriends in Argentina. It is definitely geared to home or small businesses. We are looking to replace it because too many people do use it in different ways. Auditors don't like that and want one Accounting package across all offices.
