I use QuickBooks Online to manage invoicing and financial reporting for my marketing firm. It simplifies bookkeeping, automates recurring invoices, and keeps everything organized come tax time. The biggest problem it solves is saving me time. I don't have to stress over manual data entry or missed expenses. It also gives me a clear view of cash flow, making financial decisions easier, faster.

Easy Implementation and Use!

We use it to create estimates and invoices for prospective students that are planning on attending our school. All of our students use different payment methods, so it is nice having the ability to easily change payment types to each person and also create invoices to send them. Otherwise, we'd have to handwrite invoices and mail them to people, lengthening their enrollment process.
