Accounting Software Vendors - Number of Customers Last Updated on August 30, 2005
Note - Most companies do not officially report their total number of customers. The information presented below is based on a variety of sources including official reports, official estimates from company personnel, unofficial estimates from company personnel, magazine articles, hearsay, and other sources. Estimates regarding the number of customers inside and outside the US are often based on percentage estimates provided by company personnel. In many cases, we have obtained differing numbers regarding a vendor’s total number of customers, in which case we have used the lower number. While these estimates are believed to be fairly accurate, some  companies are believed to routinely inflate their number of customers.
