Make Money:
QuickBooks 2011 also helps small business owners gain valuable insights into how their business is performing so that they can make better decisions and increase profitability. New features to help customers improve their bottom line include:

• Company Snapshot. This popular feature has been taken to the next level by allowing QuickBooks users the ability to customize which reports display on their screen and print them on one page, providing an immediate view into their bottom line. Users can choose from several reports including new reports for yearly expenses and income comparisons, detailed expense and income breakdown, and a top customer list.
• Report Center. QuickBooks users gain insights to make better business decisions in the new re-designed Report Center. With more than 100 available reports, users can now navigate between common reports in three different views and find them quickly by tabbing between memorized reports, favorite reports, and recently viewed reports. Additionally, each report is tagged with common keywords to make it easy for users to search for the report they need.
