Actually Lily, I'm not a Pro Advisor, just a certified QB Pro user.

Yvonne, I would recommend sticking with QB Pro, because this will be what the majority of your clients use. QB Premier has a few added features, but unless you specifically need them it's not worth the extra $175.00.

The accountant edition is for large accounting firms, but even most CPA's I know use QB Pro. If for some reason you did need to upgrade I would recommend buying the QB Pro Advisor package because it is cheaper than buying the Premier and the payroll together. The Pro Advisor package comes with the Acccountant's edition and Enterprise Solutions which has industry specific software. In all my year's as a bookkeeper I've run across one or 2 people that used those.

Also, you can buy the Accountant's version of payroll for $299 and it will allow you to set up 50 seperate payroll clients. This is for clients that I just do payroll for, because the payroll subscription is on my computer and if they decide to no longer use my services the subscription stays with me. Most companies that have payroll will have their own version of QB and their own payroll subscription on their system that you will access via remote that way if you ever part ways they don't lose their service.

For payroll clients I pay the subscription fee and charge them a set rate. The only thing that they pay directly are the direct deposit fees, which are deducted directly out of their account along with the payroll.
