With millions of small and medium businesses using QuickBooks to manage their financial affairs, the industry for QuickBooks “add-ons” has blossomed. Add-on programs are essential to many small and mid-sized businesses because they are often the only way to get industry-specific or highly specialized functions. They’re great for adding extra capabilities in key areas such as inventory, time and project tracking, invoicing, e-commerce and others.
Every year, The Sleeter Group – a premier network of small business technology consultants – names a new list of winners in its “Awesome Add-ons for QuickBooks” competition at an annual event that showcases cutting edge businesses management tools and technologies. The Awesome Add-ons award recognizes software programs, web-based applications and services that help enhance QuickBooks by giving users additional tools for managing their businesses. To qualify, technologies must seamlessly integrate with QuickBooks, and offer superior design, ease-of-use and conformance with appropriate accounting standards.
