Fixed Asset Manager, for Accounting Firms
What do you like best?
FAM is a very easy program to setup and use. The software divides the client base into a unique number system based on the Client's EIN for Section 179 Marco On IRS Depreciation documents.
What do you dislike?
FAM uses the database from the previous years. The problem is that If you do not understand Networking, the IT tech or end users can corrupt the entire database. Then the real problems begin.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I am a Proadvisor for Intuit products. I have used FAM for my business, however I am a programmer also, and I setup my own FAM export tools to Microsoft Excel.
I have 10 computers for training purposes and testing of software. I am on my computer that I use for browsing the Internet and listening to YouTube Premium 7/24 without any commercials. My Proseries runs on Microsoft Server 2019. I am a tester for over 20 companies. I am an end-user for most of the programs I test (beta) versions.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I am a Proseries /FAM technical advisor for Intuit. I have worked with Tax based software for Intuit for 30 years now. The benefit of FAM is all clients can be immediately be transferred from previous years, or individual clients one at a time. This feature accountants use after the tax season, the accounting firm can pre-plan the next 3-10, or more years of the Clients tax depreciation and automatically setup a profile in FAM for the client.
This report then can be customized for the accountant by an experienced Intuit Proadvisor, (recommended) and staff then can be trained to do the setup after the templates have been created. FAM will automatically mailed by snail mail or email to the clients..
