QuickBooks Desktop In The Cloud Questions And Answers

Isn’t there a remote access feature already built into QuickBooks?

Only QuickBooks Premier - Offers a remote access feature. However, only one user at a time may take control over one remote computer.  A user must be physically present at each computer to set up a session. This is O.K. for training demos or financial presentations when speed is not important due to the lag time between pressing a key on the keyboard and waiting for the result to appear on the remote computer. Finally it is to expense in labor cost remote bookkeeping.

What About QuickBooks Online? It doesn't it have all the full features of QuickBooks desktop, but can't we install some web plug-ins to fix that? 

Some Missing QuickBooks Desktop Features - Are available through plug-ins if you have the time, skill and desire to maintain and update them; however many of them are not available.

What will I see as differences between using your hosting services and having QuickBooks on my desktop or notebook?

No Difference - Because QuickBooks is hosted on a secure server, you will be using the same version of QuickBooks no matter where you login. And in some cases since you may see an increase in performance in your local computer since all the "heavy lifting" of QuickBooks is being done on a powerful server.

What about printing and emailing from QuickBooks?

You can print and email from QuickBooks just like you are doing now. The remote server will detect whatever printer you are using on your computer now, local or network printer, and it will print to it. You can change printers inside QuickBooks remote just like you are doing now and the remote server will print there. Everything is Fast and Easy!

With your QuickBooks hosting provider, can I still get a physical copy of my files?

Yes - You can download your company file anytime to create a backup copy on your local computer. QuickBooks Online does not offer this service.

How does QuickBooks Hosting simplify PC maintenance? 

With QuickBooks Hosting - You do not need to install or run QuickBooks on your desktop or notebook. QuickBooks, Word, Excel 2010 are all running in a web-browser and the hosting company manages all software maintenance and upgrades, automatically.
