The solution

I don't know, but that's an interesting way that you spelled "edition."  Accountants can certainly do ADDITION, but as to the Accountants' EDITION of the QB program, while I don't know all the goodies, I do understand one big thing (unless it's a "Premiere" version rather than an "Accountants" version) is that you can save just one year, to give to an IRS auditor, instead of their having to wind up with the whole file including all vendors and customers from years and years ago.

Back up before it's too late. For a professional answer, call Tech Support at 1-800-933-9999 (Lacerte)(other numbers ProSeries, QB, or TurboTax). I am a volunteer, not compensated or supported by Intuit.

Since we are correcting spelling here, you spelled premier incorrectly

In addition to the Period Copy Amy mentioned, there are several other new things in QB Accountant 2012 including:

Accountant Center -- like a dashboard with quick access to tools (like recalssify transactions, batch write off and more), memorized reports, updates and a Reconciliation area where you can quickly see the bank & checking accounts - when they were last reconciled and the balances among other things.

QuickBooks Statement Writer is now included, there is a Starter Copy feature, when you apply open payments for credits for A/R and A/P they now go back with an Accountant's Copy.

Plus, lots of other new features in QB 2012:

Excel Refresh

Global Calendar / To Do's

Lead Center

and more!

From Intuit's FACT SHEET for Pro and Premier 2012

Introduction

 

® financial software enables small businesses to quickly and efficiently organize their finances. New and improved features help them save time, so they can focus more on their businesses.

• Calendar View.

 

Access to an organized, calendar view of appointments, to dos, and key business tasks (such as invoicing customers and paying bills) takes just one click. The Calendar automatically updates content based on new transactions entered into QuickBooks so small businesses can stay on top of important deadlines. Calendar entries also save permanently so users can check backlogs.

• Excel Integration Refresh.

 

Exporting reports to excel is now easier than ever with the option to save worksheet formatting. When users rerun their reports for new time periods and export them to Excel, any formatting updates to the saved worksheets will be applied to new reports.1

• Contributed Reports.

 

Tapping into the power of the QuickBooks community, contributed reports features a library of more than 1,000 (and growing) industry-specific templates contributed by users. Small businesses can search custom reports by industry, rating and popularity, or create and share their own templates. With a simple click, users can populate their reports of choice with their existing business data.

• Lead Center.

 

Users can now track prospective customers in one place, making follow up easy. When sales leads convert to customers, users can move their contact information into the Customer Center with one click.

• Document Center.

 

As a central repository to store and manage documents, the Document Center makes it fast and easy to find contracts, proposals, receipts and other important documents for reference or to prepare for tax season. Small business owners can also now attach and store documents locally, at no cost. Users can import documents by simply dragging and dropping them into the Document Center and attach stored documents to invoices and other forms easily.

• Inventory Center.

 

QuickBooks Premier 2012 centralizes inventory data in a control panel for fast access to and easy management of inventory tasks, items and reports.

• Batch Timesheets.

 

Small businesses with multiple employees or vendors who work the same hours can save time on payroll by creating their timesheets all at once.

• Batch Invoicing for Time and Expenses.

 

QuickBooks Premier 2012 users who invoice multiple customers for time and expenses can create their invoices all at once.

 

To reduce data re-entry, users can now process transactions with one click.

• One-Click Transactions.

Get Time Back and Save Steps

Get More Organized

QuickBooks Pro 2012

 

QuickBooks Pro helps businesses more effectively manage their finances and save time on back-office tasks. Users can organize their business finances all in one place with a centralized view of customer, vendor and employee information. They can also save time on everyday tasks, such as cash flow management, invoicing, and paying bills. QuickBooks Pro makes accounting easy - from set up to learning to using.

 

QuickBooks Premier 2012

 

QuickBooks Premier provides specific industry reporting and more than 150 sales, financial and tax reports. QuickBooks Premier has all of the great features of QuickBooks Pro, plus deeper, more tailored reports based on industry. QuickBooks Premier includes customizable tools for tracking inventory, creating purchase orders, and setting pricing levels. It also offers automatic forecasting of future sales, expenses, and growth opportunities.
