QuickBooks Desktop Cloud Computing Vs. QuickBooks Online

Posted by Randal DeHart on Thu, Feb 23, 2012

We Love QuickBooks So Which One Is Best Depends Your Needs

Contractors Bookkeeping Services

We Recommend QuickBooks Online When The Business:

  • Is run like a hobby

  • Not construction company

  • Doesn't need full QuickBooks

  • Owner sole focus is saving money

  • Basic simple reports are all you need

  • Businesses with less than three employees

  • The owner likes doing everything themselves

  • The owner has lots of free time to learn software

  • They do not fit our client profile of contracting for profit


We Recommend QuickBooks Desktop Version Cloud Computing When The Business:

QuickBooks desktop in the cloud - can reduce your overhead and increase your productivity. Being able to work from anywhere, anytime, with a single source for all of your data allows you to:

  • Reduce your travel time and expenses

  • Create, print and/or email invoices at the jobsite and get paid immediately

  • Simplify PC maintenance and not have to deal with network issues in your office

  • Access to remote support so you are never alone

  • You are in business for yourself but not by yourself

  • Increased efficiency because you can have access to your live company files

Advantages Of QuickBooks Hosting (Cloud Computing) vs. QuickBooks Online

  • QuickBooks Online - Is a totally different version of QuickBooks. It is different than QuickBooks Pro, Premier, or Enterprise.

  • We Have Contracted - With an enterprise level QuickBooks hosting service to provide you with English speaking well trained network technicians to support you and your staff.

  • You Can Use The QuickBooks Version - You have purchased or we can arrange to lease QuickBooks on a month-to-month basis and you will be upgraded to the latest versions every year at no additional cost.

  • QuickBooks Desktop In The Cloud - Allows access to multiple licensed users at the same time and they do not have to be in the same location, city, state or country for that matter.

  • QuickBooks Online - Does not offer the full features of QuickBooks. QuickBooks cloud computing offers every feature available with QuickBooks.

  • QuickBooks Online - Does not have:

    • Purchase orders

    • Inventory tracking

    • Sales order tracking

    • Job costing or estimating

    • Customized price levels

    • Integration with Excel, Word, or Outlook

    • Online bill payment

    • Payroll input

    • Forecasts

    • Business plans

  • QuickBooks Online - Does not allow user add-ons programs like:

QuickBooks Hosting - Can save you and your staff time, energy and money by using exactly the same QuickBooks interface you use on your local PC.
