Quickbooks Advanced, good software hopefully better in coming years.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Quickbooks Advanced is an all-in-one accounting solution that is cloud-based and solves many of the common accounting issues while also allowing you to integrate it with POS systems, eCommerce stores, etc. It's great for a smaller office environment as being cloud-based, it solves many IT issues, such as the configuration of a server. The reporting is good enough for most needs. It lacks features such as built-in shipping, which QB Desktop used to have.

Pros

  • Cloud based, no hosting.
  • Fast Response times when loading screens.
  • Fair pricing.

Cons

  • No built in shipping manager.
  • No clear road map of when all features of QB Desktop will appear in QBO.
  • Granular reporting is not up to peer standards.

Return on Investment

  • Reporting is not equal to Quickbooks Desktop but this program is much cheaper.
  • Cloud based, ease of access regardless.
