Time & Billing Gets Easier for QuickBooks Users Worldwide

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BQE Software Inc. has announced the integration of its flagship BillQuick system with the
Australian version of QuickBooks Pro, Premier and Enterprise. BillQuick
is designed to help professional service firms simplify time and
expense tracking, project management and invoicing.

The addition of the QuickBooks Australia integration brings BillQuick’s
award-winning project management and reporting features to small and
mid-sized businesses in Australia and New Zealand. Industry-specific
versions are available for architects and engineers, IT consultants,
attorneys and accountants. BillQuick includes support for Australia
specific accounting standards, GST and other regional and international
practices.

“This will be a welcome addition for many Australian businesses because
it fills a need that many professional firms have,” said Shaz Hughes,
the owner of Accounted 4 Bookkeeping Services in the Perth suburb of
Ballajura, Australia. “QuickBooks is a great system, but like most
‘all-rounder’ accounting programs it can be limited in features for
specific types of firms.”

With more than 160,000 business users worldwide, BillQuick has been
honoured with perfect 5-star reviews by several technology and
professional media outlets, including CNET and The CPA Technology
Advisor.

Although its integration with the Australian versions of QuickBooks is
new, BillQuick has been available to businesses in Australia for
several years. According to Shafat Qazi, CEO and Co-Founder of BQE
Software, BillQuick offers industry-specific features that make the
world’s best-selling small business accounting software even better for
Australian businesses, especially those firms whose primary asset is
the time of their professional staff.

“Australian businesses have many unique time keeping, management and invoicing needs, but until now there hasn’t been a comprehensive system available that offered integration with QuickBooks,” he said. “This new addition extends the benefits of BillQuick’s easy to use and highly customizable system to organizations of any size, from 10-20
professional staff, to more than a thousand.”

BQE Software maintains offices in Sydney, which include local sales,
support and training centres. Pricing and additional information
