Sage BusinessWorks Review
Very intuitive, full featured program for an affordable price. You CAN preview your invoices if you use the Order Entry module. Great Job Costing options, easy bank reconciliation, this software truly lets you change the IDs of vendors, employees, etc without buying a utility. Change printers on the fly, create custom reports and exports. Very Flexible.
Pros
Scalable - don't have to worry about outgrowing it. Unlimited companies can be run on my install, up to 45 concurrent users are supported. Easy transfers between bank accounts and full- featured Payroll with built in Direct Deposit that allows for 8 DD choices per employee. Print & sign payroll forms and eft features for paying taxes and vendors. Bill of Materials is flexible in that it allows you to "unbuild" if you make a mistake.
Cons
I wish the time and material detail filled into the billing option. Lot tracking would be nice but I have a decent work-around for that
