Web Worker Daily Reviews QuickBooks Online
Would you do your accounting in the cloud? That’s exactly what Nancy Nally from WebWorkerDaily asked when she reviewed QuickBooks Online. The answer is pretty simple when you see the benefits of QuickBooks Online accounting software.
Price: Quickbooks 2010 costs $300 (street price), while Quickbooks Online Plus is $35/month. Even if you upgrade your desktop software every year, you’ll pay more to be online.
That’s true but you get a lot more for your dollar with QuickBooks Online, plus there is a Free Trial so you can see for yourself.
Accountant access: Providing access for my accountant is what prompted my switch to Quickbooks Online. With desktop Quickbooks, we’d have had to set up port access through our router’s firewall, and she’d have only had access when I had Parallels booted. If my laptop was away from home, she wouldn’t have had access at all. With Quickbooks Online, I simply authorized her, and she has access 24/7.
I totally agree with this point. Using the Accountant’s Copy file for QuickBooks Pro/Premier was time consuming and had a bunch of errors if you weren’t careful. QuickBooks Online lets your accountant log in without and Accountant’s Copy issues or extra hassles.
Bottom Line: There’s a price to pay in cost and features for the convenience and data security of using Quickbooks Online, but I find it well worth paying.
Some things that Nancy Nally doesn’t mention are mobile access you can do accounting on your iPhone, BlackBerry, or Android powered device with QuickBooks Online.
