John Foxx/Stockbyte/Getty Images Intuit proudly proclaims Quickbooks' status as the leading accounting package for small and medium-sized businesses. It can be used to meet the accounting needs of a growing firm with up to 500 staff, or the more modest requirements of a sole proprietor with a home-based office.

Quickbooks Pro and Premier System requirements for the desktop versions of Quickbooks are very moderate, and the software should run on most computers built since the turn of the century.
