  4. Accounting Today says… • While Peachtree and Intuit pretty much share the retail market, they tend to have very different kinds of users. Feature-wise, QuickBooks and Peachtree Accounting are very similar in functional capability. • QuickBooks and Peachtree started off targeting two different kinds of users. Peachtree, which has been available longer, was a direct double-entry accounting system, and was aimed at an accounting or bookkeeping professional who was used to making Cash Disbursement and Cash Receipts entries, as well as dealing with general journal and subsidiary journals. • QuickBooks grew out of a need to supply small-business owners and sole proprietors who were trying to use Quicken to manage their business with a more powerful application more suitable for use in a business environment. • Peachtree started out as a full-blown accounting system, while QuickBooks grew into the role. http://www.webcpa.com/ato_issues/24_8/and-then-there-were-three-54507-1.html
