QuickBooks Premier + Payroll

Pay employees in three steps

QuickBooks Payroll lets you run payroll as often as you like - in minutes. There are just three simple steps:

• Choose which employees to pay and enter when they worked
• Check and approve the QuickBooks summary of pay
• Print your payslips - or just send them to your staff by email

Stop payroll tasks taking so much time - QuickBooks is far quicker than running manual payroll. This means it takes less time to pay your employees and keep them happy, giving you extra time to do the same for your customers.

File payroll returns and forms online

QuickBooks Payroll is HMRC Payroll Standard accredited. That means it's been tested to be fully compliant with HMRC systems.

• File forms online - includes year-end returns (P35, P14) and in-year forms (P45, P46)
• No more nasty surprises - what you owe is calculated automatically
• See your payments to HMRC broken down - and gauge the impact on your cash flow

Because QuickBooks Payroll lets you file payroll forms and returns automatically, you’ll spend less time filling in payroll forms by hand and doing complex calculations. What’s more, HMRC Payroll Standard accreditation is your guarantee that QuickBooks Payroll is accurate, every time.

Automatically updated tax tables

QuickBooks Payroll keeps itself updated with the very latest HMRC tax tables, automatically – and at no extra charge.

This means you can be confident your payroll is always calculated using accurate tax tables – and you’ll never have to worry about deducting or paying the wrong amount.

Create branded invoices and quotes

QuickBooks accounting and payroll software lets you create and send invoices in seconds - and you can design them just the way you want them:

• Choose from a selection of templates
• Customise every aspect of the invoice design
• Choose which information to include and add your logo

QuickBooks small business payroll software lets you send branded invoices which project a more professional, cohesive image of your company. You'll impress customers every time they hear from you.

Easy VAT returns - HMRC approved

Do your VAT the fast, accurate way. QuickBooks accounting and payroll software uses financial information stored in the software to generate VAT returns for you:

• Create VAT returns in minutes and file online - it's freedom from VAT!
• File VAT returns online - QuickBooks is tested with HMRC systems
• HMRC now requires most businesses to submit VAT returns online

VAT return time can be a real headache. With automatic VAT returns, you can slash the hassle - and the worry.

(Sorry, but QuickBooks accounting software doesn't support flat rate VAT.)

Handle foreign currencies

QuickBooks Premier accounting software lets you trade in over 145 currencies just as easily as you do in pounds sterling:

• Work with international customers in their own currencies
• Convert back using the latest exchange rates
• Understand gains and losses caused by rate fluctuations

Handling foreign currencies helps your business deliver great service, because international clients will appreciate it when you work in their currencies.

Manage bills and payments

The Payment Snapshot gives you up-to-date information about payments to your business, and shows you reminders and tasks:

• See which customers owe you money, and how much
• See instantly which payments are almost due or overdue
• Create detailed reports about cash you’re owed

You can also record payments in QuickBooks accounting and payroll software as you receive them – making the Payment Snapshot the first place to go for all payment-related tasks.

Stock control

Keep an eye on your stock levels with QuickBooks accounting software:

• See how items flow in and out of your business
• QuickBooks prompts you to reorder when stocks fall
• Create purchase orders to send to suppliers

QuickBooks accounting software helps you avoid overbuying stock. You can also set reorder points and get reminders when it's time to reorder - so you don't run out of popular items.

Create budgets

Plan ahead effectively by creating budgets for your business:

• Set monthly, quarterly or annual budgets
• Track your performance and compare actual to expected results

Creating budgets can help plan your spending and set sales targets for the months ahead. Budgets are a key element of successful business planning.

Create back orders

When you’re out of stock of an item, QuickBooks accounting and small business payroll software lets you create back orders for your customers:

• Customers can buy from you, even when you’re out of stock
• Allocate incoming stock to specific customers

Accepting back orders will increase customer satisfaction, because customers know they will be first in line when stocks are replenished.

Build financial forecasts

Predict your company's performance by creating financial forecasts for sales or expenses.

You can alter forecasts to see how different situations would play out. How would a spike in sales or an unexpected expense affect your company?

As time passes, you can compare your actual performance to what you predicted.

Offer flexible discounts

Our accounting and small business payroll software gives you complete freedom to price products and services the way that suits your business:

• Set discount levels for specific customers or jobs
• Change prices easily, whenever you need to
• Offer special deals to match or beat competitors

Use the flexible pricing tools to reward loyal customers with extra discounts, give new customers an incentive to buy – or deep-discount end of line stock. It’s entirely up to you.
