Because It’s QuickBooks AND BillQuick
Your current clients and other QuickBooks users (and Microsoft Office Accounting, Peachtree Accounting and MYOB Accounting users) don’t need to choose between their current familiar solution and BillQuick. BillQuick integrates with QuickBooks and other accounting packages. What changes is where the work will be done. BillQuick’s focused capabilities makes time, expenses, billing, project management, and management information real-time. It is easier and faster to capture information, execute tasks, and get the right information at the right time. BillQuick can also automate time-consuming processes, resulting in a shift of non-billable time to billable hours.
In short, your clients continue to use the accounting software they are familiar with while BillQuick provides the capabilities and information to help them be more profitable. You have the right solution ready when they have outgrown QuickBooks or another accounting package.
And when it comes to future clients, they will seek you out and be open to your calls because you represent a robust, cost-effective, quick ROI solution. Your confidence, backed by marketing, sales and post-sale support, will make your offering stronger. They have you locally to guide and advise them, and a strong international company with a proven track record behind you.

- Advisors are not alone. BQE Software (and The Sleeter Group) provides marketing, strategy and other “success” assistance.
Because BillQuick Makes It Easy To Change
A large portion of BillQuick customers use QuickBooks. Many start with QuickBooks as their primary tool for time, billing and project management then switch to BillQuick when faced with inherent limitations. Many others switch from a competing time & billing package to BillQuick and then adopt QuickBooks. Still more users switch from Microsoft Office Accounting (MOA), Peachtree Accounting (PTA) or MYOB Accounting (Australia).
Whatever package a new customer switches from, BQE Software tries to make the transition as easy as possible. The first step is the data. QuickBooks, MOA, PTA and MYOB data transfers directly into BillQuick. This is part of BillQuick’s two-way integration with these packages. Other new users tap the built-in data conversion wizards for Timeslips and Wind2. BQE Software also delivers custom data conversion services for competing and custom solutions.
Even with all the conversion tools, tutorials and so on, most new users want assistance handling the changeover. Sometimes it is a lack of technical confidence, but most often it is simply a lack of time. Bottom line: They want and need consulting assistance. It may be as simple as a guide through the process or as involved as managing the entire changeover. BillQuick delivers the services AND commissions its resellers on these services too.
Once new customers are up and running, they don’t need to worry about extra work keeping their financials in order or managing receivables and payables. BillQuick handles everything from setup to time and expenses to project management and billing to accounts receivable. Time, invoices and other information flow to QuickBooks and other accounting packages. In turn, QuickBooks or another accounting package would be used to manage payables and bills and produce financials. Integration between BillQuick and QuickBooks, MOA, PTA and MYOB is as tight and extensive as possible. BillQuick creates a virtual solution.
Because BillQuick is Proven

In short, BillQuick is not a one-country solution. It adapts to tax structures, terminology, currencies, invoice requirements, and more.
