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.
