Having just received the QuickBooks 2013 Premier Accountant Edition, all I can say is YUCK! While the interface may be improved - and batch process is a great enhancement - the design is abhorrent. Black and white that is hard on the eyes. After less than two hours everyone on the staff was complaining of eyestrain/headaches. The fonts also have sharper edges - not an improvement when combined with the general black/white scenario. And they removed the ability to change color schemes. Which was extremely useful when multiple companies are open at the same time. All in all, a huge design step off a cliff for one big improvement and a few minor changes. I will not be recommending this product to clients any time soon.
