As a QuickBooks Pro Advisor I have been endlessly asked which software is preferable and which I advice using.

It is also important to note that there are different QuickBooks from different countries as the tax information is a large part of what QuickBooks does.

With that said, I have copied some information from QuickBooks.

QUICKBOOKS ONLINE OVERVIEW

You have heard of QuickBooks accounting software, but what is QuickBooks Online? QuickBooks Online, or QBO, is Intuit’s cloud-based accounting product. QuickBooks Online is designed specifically for small businesses; however, the new QuickBooks Online Advanced plan makes the software scalable for larger businesses as well. The software offers a robust feature set, strong accounting, online payroll, attractive invoices, and 650+ INTEGRATIONS.

QBO is also significantly easier to learn and use than QuickBooks Desktop. Since the software is cloud-based, QBO works anywhere you have an internet connection, and mobile apps help you manage your business on the go.

QUICKBOOKS DESKTOP OVERVIEW

QuickBooks Desktop is locally installed software that is a top choice among business owners and accountants. There are three different QuickBooks Desktop products: QuickBooks Desktop Pro, QuickBooks Desktop Premier, and QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise. The main difference between the three is that Pro is designed for small businesses, Premier for medium businesses, and Enterprise for large businesses. As such, each plan progresses in terms of available users and features.

Each desktop version of QuickBooks offers incredible accounting tools and extensive features, including expense tracking, budgeting, and job costing, more than 240 integrations, and positive customer reviews. It is worth noting that QuickBooks Desktop is only available on Windows operating systems. Mac users will need to look at QUICKBOOKS FOR MAC for a locally installed Mac-based QuickBooks option.
