Peachtree is a great basic accounting software that offers several benefits. Let us explore each one and take a closer look.
 Easy to Setup: One of the great advantages of using Peachtree is that you can be up and running in under a half hour. You do not have to know much or anything about accounting to set it up. Follow the onscreen guide and it will take you step-by-step through the setup process that includes setting up all of the company information, customers, vendors, inventory or service items, employees, chart of general ledger accounts, and security. For the general ledger accounts, Peachtree offers you the ability to choose from preloaded accounts or you can setup your own.
Functionality: Peachtree is a fully functional accounting system. It allows you to issue invoices to your customers, receive payments, enter payables to your vendors, print checks, pay your employees, track  expenses, enter journal entries, and much more. It is packed   with all kinds of different preloaded reports. Peachtree also will perform an internal accounting review that will identify common transaction mistakes.
Easy to Use: Another great benefit of using Peachtree is that you do not need an accounting degree to use it. For most of the functions, it is as simple as finding the button on the screen and clicking on it,    which will bring up the appropriate window where you can enter all of the information that you need to. If you are computer literate, you will be able to comfortably move around in a very short period of time.  They also offer help on their website. One of the great and scary things of Peachtree is that depending on your security clearance, you can change anything that you want, which is great if you need to change something. However, if you change something in a prior period, it will change your financial results in that period.
Cost Effective: Another advantage of using Peachtree is that it is a cost effective solution. Depending on the version that you purchase according to their website, you can expect to spend anywhere from a few   hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars, which is very reasonable for the amount of functionality and reliability that you are getting.  
Reporting Capabilities: Peachtree comes loaded with a large amount of reports that     are all customizable in some way. They all can either be printed to PDF or dropped directly into Microsoft Excel. Almost all of the reports on the screen have drill down capability that you give you more information on what makes up the number that you are looking at.
