QBO offers 24/7 access, no worries about updates or upgrades, automatic invoicing and bank downloads and a growing number of add-on apps. Also keep in mind that there are usually clean-up issues after you convert from desktop to QBO or vice versa – so do allow extra time. Some have loved it, but I’ve had a few clients tell me they tried QBO and went back to desktop! (And vice versa). If you’re on the fence as to which way you go, it’s wise to look at what the products have to offer BEFORE deciding.Įven though QuickBooks is part of the name, the online version of QB is VERY different from the desktop (2 different development teams) – just ask anyone who’s moved from one to the other! The look is definitely different as is some of the terminology, so anticipate a learning curve. Yes, Intuit has put a heavy emphasis on QBO, but they still have many more desktop customers than online (and those customers bring in more revenue), so they aren’t going do desert them! While Intuit is spending a lot to continue to develop this product, they realize that their current online product doesn’t yet meet the needs of many of their customers, so they are still committed to adding new features and improvements for their desktop products.
For many of you, this is the time of year to get your books ready to go for the year so I thought this would be good to discuss pros/cons – and my opinion -) If you’re in a desktop version of QuickBooks (Pro/Premier/Enterprise) you may be wondering if it would be better to move to QuickBooks Online (QBO) so you have remote access.
