Drake Enterprises

Drake Software is a complete professional tax preparation program for federal and state returns, business and individual. The job it does: recording transactions, reconciling banks and producing financial statements.

Who is it for? Mostly small businesses and their accountants. They also list Accounting, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a large product team themselves (501 to 1,000 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Bigger vendor, more process. Budget time for procurement.

Drake Enterprises is based in Franklin, North Carolina and founded in 1977. Their site is drakesoftware.com.

Before you commit, look at bank feeds, multi-entity support, and accountant access. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.

If you have worked with Drake Enterprises, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
