About QuickBooks
QuickBooks Online is Intuit's cloud accounting software: invoicing, expense tracking, bank reconciliation, payroll add-ons, sales tax and financial reports, in a browser and on mobile.
Its real advantage is ubiquity. Most US accountants and bookkeepers work in QuickBooks daily, and nearly every business app — payments, payroll, ecommerce, CRM — syncs with it. Choosing it means your books are in the format everyone else already expects.
The honest list
What we love
＋The accounting software most US accountants already know
＋Largest integration ecosystem in small-business accounting
＋Scales from one user to 25 without switching products
＋Accountant seats included from Simple Start up
＋Lite at $14/month with the discount is a cheap way in
Watch out for
−Expensive next to Xero, Wave or FreshBooks, and prices rise regularly
−The discount ends after 6 months; budget for full price
−Lite has no accountant access, so most businesses end up on Simple Start or above
