What QuickBooks Product Is Right for You?
Many businesses aren't sure which QuickBooks product is right for them. Here’s a quick guide to help understand the differences:
QuickBooks Online (QBO) is cloud-based and accessible from anywhere. It’s ideal for small to midsize businesses that need core accounting tools, invoicing, and access on the go. QBO comes in multiple tiers: Essentials, Plus, and Advanced — each offering different levels of functionality.
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is a desktop-installed solution designed for businesses that need advanced inventory tools, customizable reports, and up to 40 users. Product-based companies often use it because their workflows are more complex.
Intuit Enterprise Suite (IES) is a completely different solution built for growing businesses that need a full operational platform — including financials, payroll, HR, marketing, and more. It’s cloud-based, AI-powered, and ideal for companies with multiple entities or highly complex needs
