K2 principals and associates have lectured and written on the subject of accounting software for more than forty years. The team regularly reviews a number of solutions and posts their findings at this site. If you do not see a specific product listed here, that usually means the vendor or software publisher has not provided assistance in the form of software to review, briefings and so forth.
