Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Solopreneur

  • Requirements gathering
  • Product selection
  • Solution Integration
Yes, QuickBooks Solopreneur is a straightforward solution for solo entrepreneurs and freelancers who want to organize and track their expenses. It's a good solution to launch a business that does not have additional team members or staff yet. The scalability and features are similar to those of other QuickBooks versions, and the online version allows for customization where needed.

Pros

  • Mileage tracking.
  • Solid bookkeeping.
  • Expense tracking and categorization.
  • Customer payment flexibility options.

Cons

  • Receipt capture.
  • Expense tags for deeper categorization.
Brand familiarity with QuickBooks is the biggest reason. Already having years of experience on the platform made it easy to implement. The learning curve was non-existent, and the deployment was fast. All of this was achieved quickly and in a cost-effective manner.
Project management, time tracking, and task tracking, among others, are limited by what I have seen. Again, an upgraded version would provide many of the features in this space. This product appears to be geared towards simpler, more straightforward business operations. The limited functionality is why I give it a middle grade for the current offering.
Solopreneur stacks up well against the above-mentioned competitors. Their competitive advantage was the convenience and familiarity of products, since we have used QuickBooks Online before. I believe each product has strengths and weaknesses that make it almost interchangeable. Each company/entrepreneur needs to evaluate the top features and needs to see which solution is the best fit.

Would you buy QuickBooks Solopreneur again?

Yes

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.
