      • automatic import of Paypal statements - PLEASE!!!

        I have an e-commerce store and use Paypal for virtually all payments from customers and many supplies, subscriptions, etc. that I purchase online.

        It would be a tremendous help to have the ability to sync / import Clarity and Paypal!

        Counting on you,

        thanks

            Allow users to create a budget, and then income and expenses can be tied to the budget line items so that useful reports can be generated (budget report, ytd spending vs. budget, etc.).

              • Sub-accounts support

                For example, have a breakdown for "Travel Expenses" including lodging, parking, and meals. The accounts would be shown grouped on the P&L or Balance Sheet with a total for the group.

                • Print cheques / check printing

                  Called cheques in some places, and checks elsewhere, allow users to print the date, recipient, and amount onto pre-printed MICR check stock to save the trouble of hand-writing this information onto a standard cheque. Since businesses often want multiple copies of each check, one to issue and one or two for record keeping, this can save a lot of time.

                  • allow iPhone and mobile access to main functions/info

                    Quickbooks online has a mobile web portal and iPhone app to view main info and do some basic functions on the road (like create an invoice). This would be great for small businesses with people on the move.

                          You can now add instructions to an invoice by going to your business profile and entering them into the “Invoice Instructions” field. They will be included on every invoice below the memo. This could be where you put your “make payable to” or bank deposit information. CSS/XHTML templates are in beta now too, read more here: https://www.clarityaccounting.com/help/index.php/2009/05/04/customize-layout-appearance-invoices/

                                • Employee portal for entering invoices/expenses

                                  Have a place for employees to enter invoices without being able to view all the books. The portal would be customizable in terms of which items and accounts could be used and how they appear to the person entering the data. Entered items would appear in an area for approval by a manager/owner before recording them into the books for real. PDF Emails/Downloads would be needed. This could be developed as a totally seperate application, really.

                                    Currently we only support accrual basis accounting - that is, income and expenses are reported when they are invoiced instead of when they are paid. However, some businesses track payables and receivables but report income on the date they are paid.

                                          Hi, we don’t have any specific plans regardign support for quotes at this time, sorry! We get enough requests that I think it will probably happen “one day”, but we have lots to do so its hard to say when that would be.

                                          When records get old enough, typically after you've filed taxes based on those records, maybe you shouldn't be allowed to change them any more so that your tax filing won't be made obsolete
