Intuit’s QuickBooks has been a long-time leader in desktop software for small business and has brought all of its powerful, customer-pleasing features and more to the web. It should be noted that QuickBooks aims to be more than just an accounting tool; it is intended as a comprehensive business software solution. By leveraging the power of mobility and web integration, QuickBooks Online brings the software suite as close to this goal as possible. Let us look at three of the main reasons to choose QuickBooks Online.
Speed Online/cloud-based software platforms are always going to have the inherent tradeoff of mobility, ease of maintenance, protection of data, and automatic upgrades in exchange for raw speed. Usually, small amounts of network lag do little to ruin the user experience. However, it is important to note that QuickBooks Online tends to be more responsive than the average web application. Of course, a desktop install of QuickBooks will pretty much always be faster, but when compared to other web-accounting tools QuickBooks Online has a speed advantage.
Banking Data Import QuickBooks has a strong reputation and therefore banks have been largely cooperative with the company in supporting full, seamless import of account information to its software. Synchronizing with bank activity is crucial in ensuring that all business activities are balanced and legitimate.
App Center It is likely that the modern business owner has to contend with one or more applications, such as for customer relationship management (CRM) or e-commerce. Though we noted that QuickBooks seeks to be a total business solution, the needs of a business are often complex enough that one application is not enough. Fortunately, QuickBooks Online easily bridges the gap with other software via its App Center. Operating much like the Apple Store or Google Play, the user can use the App Center to search a wide range of applications that either extend the abilities of QuickBooks or allow it to integrate with other applications. These are just some of the reasons why QuickBooks Online is a top business software solution.
