Apr 15, 2009 Commander Back Office - Why Choose Leading Edge

How it Started
Several quick!Office Commander Front Office clients approached us with an idea a few years back.  Some wanted an alternative to the proprietary Back Office solution they were using.  Some wanted their deal management system to integrate to QuickBooks, a world class accounting system.  We were asked if it was possible to develop a product that their accountants would understand and like, their bookkeeper could work on without learning a Real Estate program, and their staff could learn easily without an accounting background.

 

These clients and prospects were willing and able to help us with specifications and direction on how to implement a solution.  We agreed that this was a natural evolution, and that the industry needed options. 

 

Leading Edge Software, being a recognized leader and industry favourite for Front Office, invested in building the technology to provide such a solution. While Back Office enables brokers to calculate and track real estate specific information with ease, QuickBooks® accurately performs all accounting functions in a user-friendly environment.

 
Why Integrate to Quickbooks
With over three million small business software customers and over 230,000 accountants, QuickBooks is the #1 rated and recommended business financial management software.  So many accountants and bookkeepers love and recommend QuickBooks, that finding a cost effective trainer is easy.
