QuickBooks Online Vs. QuickBooks Contractor Desktop Remote Access

Posted by Randal DeHart on Sat, Dec 29, 2012

Which QuickBooks Remote Access Option Is Best For Contractors?

Fast Easy Accounting Contractors Bookkeeping QuickBooks Online ScreenShot

 We Recommend QuickBooks Online When Your Company:

  • Is run like a hobby

  • Not a construction company

  • Does not need full QuickBooks

  • Owner sole focus is saving money

  • Basic simple reports are all you need

  • Businesses with less than three employees

  • The owners enjoy doing everything themselves

  • The owners have lots of free time to learn software

  • They do fit the profile of contractors we cannot help

We Recommend QuickBooks Desktop Version Cloud Computing When Your Company:

QuickBooks Expert In Construction Bookkeeping

QuickBooks desktop in the cloud - Is one area where you can reduce your overhead and increase your productivity fast and easy. You can work from anywhere, anytime, with a single source for all of your data which means you can:

  • Use a PC or Mac to access the windows based QuickBooks desktop version

  • 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.

Profitable Construction - Companies have known about the value of outsourced bookkeeping services for a long time and now you know about it too!
