QuickBooks Enterprise vs QuickBooks Online: 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.

Speaker 1: My name is Alex. I'm the COO for Made By WiFi. We're a boutique IT firm based out of New York City with under 10 employees. I would rate QuickBooks Online a 5/5. I use QuickBooks Online for bookkeeping, invoice management, accounts receivables, payment processing, as well as the reporting capabilities which are very rich. I like how easy it was to pick up and learn. I've never used QuickBooks before. We were managing our company's finances through Google Sheets prior to QBO. The learning curve was basically a day, we got it all figured out. It's very easy to navigate and it's very easy to find what you need as well as streamline financial operations. Just making it easier to get paid, essentially. I'd like to see more consistent monthly billing from QBO. I feel like our monthly billing increased almost by 50% since we signed up without really getting more features. I'm not sure how quickly or why they raised their prices so aggressively, but they have, and I wish there was just more of a locked-in rate for a period of time that we could have agreed to.
