QuickBooks Enterprise vs HoneyBook: Which is a better fit?

Speaker 1: Hi, this is Prateek. I am head of the marketing for customjewelry.com. We are a startup and a small team of 15 people distributed remotely. I give QuickBooks Online Enterprise five out of five. Before QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise version, we were using very DIY products, from spreadsheets to a payroll like ADP to pay our contractors. To keep expenses, we would use our credit card tool from Brex. But everything was very scattered since all of the team members are remote, and also global. The reason we chose QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is because of the ease of use. And just with a quick integration, we were able to all get on board on a single, so where I can log in in real-time and see which contractor has filed their expenses, run payroll, keep track of expenses and everything, all in one place. Oh, getting started with QuickBooks Enterprise was very easy. Actually, more easy than I thought it would be. With all the integrations with the banks, the existing softwares, the tools that we were already using for business, they were very seamless, and we did not have to get any outside help. We were able to do it ourselves in less than a day. I would recommend QuickBooks Enterprise if you are looking for a accounting software or bookkeeping software for your company. Number one, for the ease of use. Number two, for the seamless integrations. Number three is for having a very clear overview of your business all in the same page that is very easy to use.

Jane: Hi, I'm Jane. I have a small company with less than 10 employees and I give Honeybook a 3 out of 5 rating. Before Honeybook, we were linked to HubSpot, which is a large CRM product with a free element attached to it. We looked at and ultimately would have chosen to continue with Honeybook because it was a really good system that had pretty much everything we needed in it for a decent price. However, being based in the UK, Honeybook doesn't support outside of America at the moment, which was a huge blow because I fell in love with it. So the 3 out of 5 is due to them not supporting the UK yet. Otherwise, it would be a 5 out of 5. Getting started with Honeybook was really simple. Again, it follows a lot of the generalized accepted processes that we understand via Microsoft and via Google and kind of webpage design and everything was clear and easy to understand and you could set up a lot of stuff and it would automatically feed into other elements of the program. There was enough flexibility and ability to kind of alter wording and templates, et cetera, without it basically being like you are creating everything from scratch using a system that needs a level of technical knowledge. And it kind of would connect with pretty much any provider as well. So it was really, really useful and really simple to set up. It is a really useful piece of tech. I would play with it all, see what it can do for you in replicating what you're doing currently. I would also really, at the very beginning, think if you are going from just using no CRM or an older version of a CRM and you are moving over to something which a tool like this where effectively it's more than a CRM, it does everything, sit down and sort out your business processes and your paperwork and everything so that setting all that up is really straightforward and you can get people working on it really quickly rather than it being something that drags on for a while, which can happen as a small company.
