QuickBooks is the leading software for small business accounting in Nigeria. The combination of its industry customizations, ease of use, and affordability amidst the rising cost of the US dollar, have been key drivers of acceptability among business owners.
For a new or existing user that’s looking for the price of QuickBooks desktop software in Nigeria, here is a complete guide to buying the software for your small business.
System Requirements for QuickBooks Desktop
Before you decide on the QuickBooks software you want to install on your PC, ensure that your system configuration meets the minimum specifications – this is the first stage to ensuring a hitch-free setup in a single or multi-user environment.
- Make sure your system is upgraded to Windows 10 operating system (with 64-bit) for a seamless installation (confirm that your MS .Net Framework is updated to 4.6.1).
- For fast data processing and efficiency, ensure that your system RAM is 4GB RAM but in a multi-user environment, we’d advise you to go for 8GB RAM with a 2.4GHz processor. (1-5 Users: 8GB RAM, 10 Users: 12GB RAM, 15 Users: 16GB RAM, and 20 Users: 20+GB RAM)
- Windows Server: 2012 (R2), 2016
- 2.5GB of disk space (additional required for data files).
- After installation of QuickBooks desktop, Administrator rights are required for the server computer when hosting multi-user access.
Different Versions of Intuit QuickBooks and Price List – What You Should Know:
As businesses vary, in terms of industry and financial reporting, we also understand the need to help you pick the best version of QuickBooks.
- Retail and Manufacturing – If you run a retail and manufacturing outfit, QuickBooks Premier is the best version for you. This version of QuickBooks not only gives you the option of tracking your inventory, up to the unit of measures but also lets you record production activities. And if you want to take it further by adding multiple stores, then QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions with Advanced Inventory is highly recommended.
- Service-Based Business – As long as the number of concurrent users of the application doesn’t exceed three (3), QuickBooks Pro is the right version for service providers who are only interested in invoicing, payments, expenses, banking, VAT/Withholding tax, and financial reporting.
- NGO – Organizations that fall under the non-profit category can use any of the versions but a key factor to watch before deciding on which QuickBooks to go for is the number of users. While the Pro, Premier, and Enterprise Editions offer the full accounting features required to track donations, and project-based expenses, they simply don’t give the same number of user’s access.
- Co-operative Society – This category of user’s pool funds from members with similar interest, gives loan and earn interest income. Depending on whether they want a desktop or cloud version, they can also opt for any of the versions.
