QuickBooks Enterprise vs Zoho Invoice: 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.

Michelle: My name is Michelle. I work for MTP Paralegal Services. I'm the owner there. And I would give Zoho Invoicing a rating of five. I was using Excel. And the problems that I was having is that it was manual. So I would have to not only input the formulas, but I would also have to export the pages or the invoices to PDF so that I could send them to my clients. And Zoho has enabled me to be able to just input the amounts and they send it to the client directly. I was already using Zoho Mail, so I saw that they offered a Zoho Invoicing and I thought I'd give it a try. So I gave it a try and I actually loved it. Using it was actually really easy because it's integrated into the Zoho Mail app, so I was able to use it from there. And I just downloaded the app, and that's also very, very easy. It's easy to set up my clients and it's easy to set up the invoices. Okay. The advice that I would give is, it's really good for small businesses because it allows you to add different contacts for the invoice. So you don't have to just add one contact, you can add email addresses, and you can also add different phone numbers. And it lets you send the email directly from the app, so you don't have to worry about sending it manually. And it also allows you to use your internal invoicing system. So for example, I already had my own numbering system, but when I transitioned, I just updated it to the Zoho Invoice, and that was really easy.
