QuickBooks has made quite a few changes since their new fiscal year started, even beyond their annual price increases. QuickBooks Online is still developing, however; this product is still not a viable option for many companies of varying sizes.

QuickBooks Plus is still available, but you may need to do some searching on their website to be able to find the product. QuickBooks resellers are no longer able to sell QuickBooks Pro and Premier Desktop, as Intuit is moving away from this model.

Customers can still order one license of Premier Plus online or multiple Pro and Plus by calling Intuit QuickBooks directly. To order 1 user Premier Plus, click the following link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/desktop/premier/# or call Quickbooks directly (800)568-0073. As a warning – they will try to steer you towards QuickBooks Online or Enterprise. If you need, I would be happy to place an Enterprise order for you, simply contact us or call the number below.

We continue to offer third-party remote access hosting for all current versions of QuickBooks, including Enterprise – we can use your current licenses. To find the best option for your company, call us (713)662-3994 or contact us here: https://cloudtopoffice.com/contact/

If you have decided to try QuickBooks online, you can get started here: https://cloudtopoffice.info/QBOnline 

Please let me know if you have any questions – I’m happy to help.

Please pardon our dust as we move completely from Tandem CloudTop to CloudTop Office. Don’t worry, nothing else is changing, we are still providing all US Based Support and hosted services from Sugar Land, Texas.

We started off as Tandem Training and Consulting to let our customers know that we would be right there helping them along the way. We have since transitioned to Tandem CloudTop when we began offering hosted solutions. Now we are moving all of the way to CloudTop Office, so there is no more confusion between our CloudTop Office website and company name. Also, CloudTop Office is much easier to understand over the phone than Tandem, so we thought we might save everyone a little time in the long run.

We still stand beside our commitment to helping our customers in the best way that suits their company’s needs.

Pardon Our Dust – We are Transitioning from Tandem CloudTop to CloudTop OfficeRead More

QuickBooks Desktop is a legacy product used widely by many SMBs. QuickBooks Online is a more recent product geared toward smaller businesses. While there is some overlap, QuickBooks Desktop offers more in-depth and complex accounting features. Both offer detailed charts of accounts, journal entries, bank account reconciliations, accounts payable and accounts receivable.

QB DESKTOP is more comprehensive and well suited for established small to medium businesses and incorporates incredible accounting tools and industry-specific features for QB Desktop Premier and Enterprise.

Additional features include:
Expense Tracking
Budgeting
Job Costing
Sales Orders
Lead management

QuickBooks Desktop has the most developed accounting tools on the market. Their comprehensive features are more secure, well organized and include better reporting.

QB Desktop does lack the mobility of Quickbooks online, however with our local US Based Virtual Desktop Hosting, you can enjoy the benefits of QB Desktop and access from any location with almost any internet-connected device including Macs and iOS.

QB ONLINE is designed for small businesses, and is easier to use and learn for those new to QuickBooks, with more
automation and integrations.

Other features include:
Contemporary Invoicing
Built-in Lending
International Invoicing
Mobile Apps
QB Live Bookkeeping so you can pay for professional support from CPAs

QB Online, however; lacks sales orders and lead management. Current desktop users will miss customizable letter templates, built-in calendar, spellcheck, and will have to get accustomed to a completely different interface. Customer complaints include limited mobile apps, slow runtime, bugs and poor customer support. Click here to learn more or purchase Quickbooks Online.

What it all boils down to, is that you should choose the version depending upon which features complement your business needs.

What are the Differences Between QuickBooks Desktop and Quickbooks Online? QB Desktop from any LocationRead More

Access from Unlimited Locations and Devices

Data has shown that remote work is here to stay, increasing benefits for the employee and employer with increased happiness and lower costs for both sides. Since 2002, at-home work has skyrocketed and employees prefer to have a hybrid office setup. Here is a great article showing statistics on remote work: https://www.apollotechnical.com/statistics-on-remote-workers/, which states that 92% of people expect to work from home at least 1 day per week and 80% expected to work at least 3 days from home per week.

Employees can utilize the versatility of cloud services to improve flexibility and the demands of life along with work demands. This setup also allows people to work when they have availability and opens up options when they need to be on the road or working from alternate locations and available devices.

Data Security

Cloud storage reduces the frequency of viruses and security breaches. With Microsoft Azure’s Data Center you have better protection against power outages, downtimes, changes in temperatures and security breaches. With Tandem Hosting, you never have to worry about backing up your data, data backups are performed nightly and held for 45 days. Our security experts work to monitor, analyze, and tackle any security-related events like a ransomware attack. Businesses can also improve productivity with the cloud as updates are automatically and regularly made, thus reducing their workload.

Business Risk Reduction and Continuity

Employees’ laptops and desktops are subject to data loss, physical theft, viruses and other security issues. Cloud services assist businesses in reducing risks related to data loss and computer damage to evade these occurrences. Cloud hosting also helps to reduce the cost of purchasing and maintaining expensive servers and hiring your own IT company to manage the server. It also reduces the risk involved in the case of a fire or flood or other natural disasters. Businesses can continue seamless operations in cases of disasters with a hosted solution.

Scalability

Scalability helps regulate the development cycles, adapt to business needs, and ascertain the level of growth through the efficient use of resources. You can quickly add resources, without hefty investments, as your company grows, but can also easily scale back if your business suddenly contracts.

Cloud Hosting can absolutely help your business thrive and grow in today’s economy.
