Great Accounting Software for Small/Mid-Size Companies

Overall, QuickBooks Online has a very user-friendly interface. It also has all the necessary features to do bookkeeping. I personally like using QuickBooks Online because it is integrated with multiple other applications such as outside accounts payable, payroll and expense reimbursement software. Also, QuickBooks Online requires minimal training on how to use the package. For example, I recently hired a junior accountant who never worked with QuickBooks Online before and she learned how to use the system very quickly with minimal help from me. I would definitely recommend QuickBooks Online to any small/mid-size business.

QuickBooks Online has a great forum by Intuit. I believe both QuickBooks Online specialists and the community contribute to resolving issues and questions QuickBooks Online users have. I posted an issue I had with the software on the forum once and received a complete and knowledgeable replay within a few hours which helped me a lot. In my opinion, QuickBooks Online forum is very well-organized and really helpful especially for the new users.

QuickBooks Online is definitely a great accounting software for small and medium-sized businesses who need a basic system to keep their books. For example, QuickBooks Online is a great fit for service organizations, contractors and freelancers who need to send invoices to their customers, record basic expenses and run a couple of standard reports to assess their profitability and financial position. We use QuickBooks Online at our software startup and it's a great fit at the moment. I would not recommend QuickBooks Online to manufacturing or some businesses that have production or inventory as they might across some limitations of QuickBooks Online.
