What I have heard: accountants typically use "QuickBooks for Accountants," and as such accountants need files, from their clients, in QuickBook format.
Is that correct? If so, is there any way around QuickBooks? For example MS-Office accounting is supposed to save files in a form that is acceptable to accountants. If a client put his GL, and trial balance, into a correctly formatted ms-excel file, wouldn't that be just as easy to import?
