QuickBooks Online is Intuit’s cloud accounting software and the most widely used small business accounting platform in the U.S. It handles invoicing, expense tracking, bank and credit card feeds, sales tax, financial reports, and 1099 tracking from any browser or the mobile app.
Plans scale with your business, adding users, bill management, project tracking, and inventory as you move up. QuickBooks connects with hundreds of apps, including payment processors, e-commerce platforms, and banking tools, and optional add-ons cover payroll, time tracking, and live bookkeeping help.
QuickBooks is a strong fit for small businesses that want the software most accountants and bookkeepers already know, which makes handoffs at tax time much easier. It works for service and product businesses alike.
Costs can climb. Each plan has a cap on users, so adding a team member can force an upgrade, and payroll is a separate monthly charge. Intuit has raised prices several times in recent years, and the introductory discounts end after a few months, so budget for the regular price.
Because so many accountants work in QuickBooks, it’s easy to find a Long Island CPA or bookkeeper who can log in and help.
