QuickBooks Online Bookkeeping Cloud Style


There’s been much made of late about cloud computing. It seems more and more hardware and software vendors are shifting their focus (thereby ours as well) from local computing, to using software and data in the cloud. We’re used to buying a piece of software, installing it on one computer and working from there. The paradigm shift to cloud computing has us moving towards the idea of subscription-based software as a service (SaaS) instead. SaaS accounting systems are making headway in this realm as well. The Big Daddy of accounting software – Intuit – offers a lineup of online accounting options through its QuickBooks Online products.

QuickBooks Online comes in three flavors: Online Simple Start, Online Essentials, and Online Plus, each with their own features, limitations and subscription price point. For more specific information: QuickBooks Online Options.

So what’s the biggest advantage to shifting accounting functions online? Some of the biggest pluses include the ability to work on your books from any internet-connected computer regardless of platform (PC or Mac with any newer browser), no software upgrades to buy, and data availability on mobile devices.

You have to know that not all options available in the desktop version of QuickBooks are available in the online version. But hey, there’s always a trade-off when it comes to convenience. Some of the trade-off biggies include limited inventory functionality, the ability to record only basic customer and vendor data, minimal integration, and no point of sale.

So, all that said, who would find QuickBooks Online useful? Primarily service-based small businesses with few or no employees are the best candidates. Being able to access your data from home, the office and road via mobile device doesn’t hurt either.
www.MsQuickBooks.comwww.BookkeeperGirls.com, and www.santarosabookkeepers.com in Santa Rosa prefer to use QuickBooks Online for small businesses that have less than 50 employees. It is an ideal virtual Bookkeeping tool and an outsource accounting tool that can not be duplicated.
