Also new in Quickbooks 2010 is the company snapshot, a dashboard that lets you see critical aspects of your company's performance on a single screen.

• a tax centre that makes it easier to remit GST and RST installments;
• a live community that lets users ask each other questions without ever leaving the Quickbooks interface; and
• greatly enhanced invoicing features that integrates with Microsoft Outlook.

The Quickbooks team also stress that their new platform is 25 per cent faster, allows for easier filtering of data and automates the scheduling of back-ups.
