I received this on a professional listserv today, and I thought I'd share it. I haven't used the product, can't address it, and am not necessarily promoting it. I'm just sharing information.

Dear friends and colleagues,

My Blind Spot's quest for a usable, accessible version of QuickBooks has come to fruition. It began when we realized that the popular financial software was not compatible with screen readers. I phoned Intuit customer service and had the good fortune to be routed to their Accessibility Program Manager, Lori Samuels. Soon, a team assembled by My Blind Spot was working with Intuit engineers to restructure the platform and revise the coding so the most commonly used features of QB would be available to the blind, the visually impaired, and others who are print disabled.

Less than three years later, I am proud to say, the new accessible, usable suite of QuickBooks for Windows (Pro, Premiere and Enterprise) debuted to choruses of praise. Aaron Preece, National Technology Associate with the AFB, had this to say in AFB's AccessWorld magazine:

/My Blind Spot and Intuit should be commended for their efforts to improve accessibility. Not only have they made great strides towards developing an accessible product, they have also produced a product that is very usable./

//

We are delighted with our success-but there is more to be done! Going into 2015, we will continue to address those issues that we could not resolve this time around. QuickBooks for Windows works with screen readers such as JAWS and NVDA. We anticipate rounding out that list to include Window-Eyes. Individuals using screen magnifiers like Zoom Text and Magic will be pleased with the functionality we are reintroducing into the product. And thanks to our friends at Freedom Scientific, who loaned us a braille display, we have found it easier to test for braille output.

Now that QB is more usable than ever, people need to know how to use it. We are working on a complete User's Guide, creating self paced virtual lessons, and trainings and curricula for the accessible version of QuickBooks.

We need your continued support to help us continue our good work. Only through the generosity of supporters like you can we continue to work for the high level of access that promotes ability and restores infinite possibilities.

Having access to QuickBooks will be life-changing for financial management professionals, either practicing or aspiring, who are blind, visually impaired, or print disabled.
