Maidenhead, UK -- Intuit UK launches QuickBooks SimpleStart 2008 today. This popular small business accounting solution has been re-vamped, focusing on greater ease of use to enable businesses to work more productively and stay one step ahead of their finances. QuickBooks SimpleStart 2008 provides just the essentials and is ideal for new and home-based businesses or those that only need to file cash-based VAT.

A fresh new layout has been designed to make QuickBooks SimpleStart 2008 easier to navigate whilst new features have been designed to boost productivity. Improvements begin with the Home Page which displays the most important activities on one simple screen. This makes it much easier to see essential business information such as account balances, and ensures that important figures are no more than two-clicks away.

Other features include trackable stock, customer payments and reports as well as the new Customisation Tools function which creates professional-looking invoices, estimates, purchase orders and sales receipts.

SimpleStart uses plain English throughout and is very easy to set up, especially as it now runs on with Windows Vista. Intuit has designed QuickBooks SimpleStart 2008 to look and feel very similar to the more advanced versions of QuickBooks accountancy software, so once the business begins to grow, upgrading is simple and easy.

Commenting on the release of QuickBooks SimpleStart 2008, Richard Bee, Intuit UK Managing Director said: “We have put a lot of effort and time into listening to and understanding the needs of start-ups. This has led us to make SimpleStart easier to use then ever. With stronger features tailored to brand new businesses, start-ups can now look professional right from the beginning”.
