SAN DIEGO, CA, December 25, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dave Heistein, owner of Profitwise Accounting, has been named to the QuickBooks SharedBooks user development team. Intuit, the developers of QuickBooks, has assembled a distinguished team of accountants and CPA's to provide a user's perspective in the development process for an exciting new service. The team members were selected from a nationwide pool of accountants and CPA's based on their high level of QuickBooks expertise.

QuickBooks SharedBooks, currently in development, will allow both clients and their accountants and bookkeepers to "share" their QuickBooks files giving all users simultaneous access to and immediate updates of all files. Accountants, bookkeepers and their clients will continue to maintain QuickBooks files on their hard drives but, with SharedBooks, the Intuit servers will ensure that files are synchronized automatically. Multiple users can work on the files at the same time and SharedBooks will provide the necessary controls through features such as 'read only' mode or 'request access to files' function in order to maintain data integrity.

The user development team works with the Intuit in-house product development team to ensure that customer requirements are incorporated in the product development process and help them "test" usability features.

QuickBooks SharedBooks is intended to improve productivity for accountants, bookkeepers and their clients. "Think of QuickBooks SharedBooks as the Google Docs for accounting and Bookkeeping," said Dave Heistein. "I think this will be a great enhancement to the line of QuickBooks products and a real time saver for all users. I am looking forward to the release of SharedBooks in the near future."
