Intuit will be offering an optional $149.00 add-on for the 2009 QuickBooks Accountant's Edition called "Intuit Statement Writer". Is my assumption correct that the "Intuit Financial Statement Designer", that has been bundled with prior versions is gone for 2009?
That is what I have been told.
Is there any information if the new add-on has a conversion utility for custom financials designed in prior versions?
Not that I can find.
Yes, RIP.
Are there many out there who used it? I avoided it as I found it cumbersome and inaccurate and I felt it might be dumped just as customer manager was here in Canada. It was a good idea. Seems to me it is not long for this world in Canada too.
Inaccurate? I never once found any statement that was linked to 100% of the accounts to be out of balance. There is a learning curve required. The typical end user probably would not invest the time to learn it, however a professional that needs to set up multiple presentation quality statements for their clients could reasonably justify the effort.
I suspect the new add-on, because it uses Excel as its engine will have more flexibility but by its very nature require reading the manual to get the most out of it.
