Cathy Iconis, CPA, says this about QuickBooks Online and why she prefers the online small business accounting software version to QuickBooks desktop:
My favorite system is QuickBooks Online. It’s actually a completely different system than the desktop version and its much more flexible!
Now, a lot of CPAs hate QuickBooks Online because it is like learning a whole new system, but I think it’s great!
Here are some of the awesome features of QuickBooks Online:
- Email Features: With QuickBooks Online you can email estimates/invoices to clients in a jiffy!
- Memorized Reports: You can create handy reports that are memorized and then schedule them to be automatically email out.
- Unlimited “Report-Only” Users: If you need to add a whole bunch of people on to your account, you can. These users can have full access to all your reports!
- Unlimited “Time-Entry” Users: Another handy feature, because employees or contractors can enter their time online and you can simply pull the data onto your invoices automatically! You won’t believe how much time this saves!
- Budgeting Tools: This is a very helpful feature that lets you budget without having to worry about entering in all the details!
