Intuit
Entrepreneurs and independent contractors who have not formalized their business operations and expense tracking can upgrade their internal efficiencies by launching QuickBooks Solopreneur. As they grow, they can upgrade to higher subscription levels, but this product offers a low-cost option with minimal unnecessary features to get started. If you already have a team, you may want to consider QuickBooks Online. If you are a one-person show, this solution works well.

Not applicable. I am a ProAdvisor and I do not allow my clients (with few exceptions) to work in QuickBooks Online. I am the only person booking transactions, etc.
