Hiya 'Heads,
Ya, this is a shameless plug [Smile]

I just got back from the accountant and I'm a little upset. I actually have to PAY taxes this year.
In all of my years of indirectly working for Uncle Sam, I always got a refund. But not this year, thanks to EstiMate [Smile]

When I established the business, one of the first "real" purchases I made was EstiMate Software. I got all the bells and whistles, including the QuickBooks link too.
Before I "opened my doors", I did my homework and listened to what others had to say about estimating software. Since too many people here always spoke highly of EstiMate it wasn't a hard sell - and now I know why.
Sure, it took some time to go through all the set up required with the program, but I wanted to work with real numbers and I wanted the business to run profitably. So, I entered in all the figures from my business plan and ran with it. I also told the program that I wanted to net 20% after taxes and, sure enough, it was perfect. The business netted almost exactly a 20% profit last year.
I may not be rolling in dough yet, but with EstiMate, I know I'm heading in the right direction. Who knows, maybe in a few more years, I might be able to take a real vacation [Smile]

I just want to say thanks to Mark Smith and the Team at EstiMate. Without your program and support, it would have been a lot harder to do.

Havin' fun,

Checkers

Darn that Mark Smith! Imagine a software that actually works.

BTW, I think people are going to be VERY happy with the new Estimate 2.0. Mark has put a lot of work into it and it shows.

I'm not sure exactly what I can or can't say about 2.0, but I like what I see so far [Smile]

Checkers! This is awesome. Thanks so much for your comments, that makes it all worthwhile in so many ways... and version 2 is definitely going to take everything to a whole new level. Thanks again!
