Getting More Out of QuickBooks Payroll
QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll for Accountants has been tailored to meet the unique requirements of accountants performing payroll for clients. Two key new features are after-the-fact payroll and client-ready reports.
The after-the-fact payroll feature gives you an efficient method for entering payroll data from paychecks that clients have  prepared themselves. The client-ready reports feature helps you provide clients with professional-looking payroll reports and analyses. QuickBooks 2007 is required for these features, which are available only in QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll for Accountants.
Accountants will also benefit, as will all payroll subscribers, from improvements to the Payroll Center in QuickBooks 2007 and the new callback service.
