Which QuickBooks Remote Access Option Is Best For Contractors?

 We Recommend QuickBooks Online When Your Company:

• Is run like a hobby

• Not a construction company

• Does not need full QuickBooks

• Owner sole focus is saving money

• Basic simple reports are all you need

• Businesses with less than three employees

• The owners enjoy doing everything themselves

• The owners have lots of free time to learn software

• They do fit the profile of contractors we cannot help

We Recommend QuickBooks Desktop Version Cloud Computing When Your Company:

• Is a construction company contracting for profit

• Needs Job Costing reports and solid Financial Reports

• Needs the power of the full QuickBooks Desktop Version

• Is focused on saving money with innovations and cost control

• Is open to implementing a Business Plan designed to increase sales

QuickBooks desktop in the cloud - Is one area where you can reduce your overhead and increase your productivity fast and easy. You can work from anywhere, anytime, with a single source for all of your data which means you can:

• Use a PC or Mac to access the windows based QuickBooks desktop version

• Reduce your travel time and expenses

• Create, print and/or email invoices at the jobsite and get paid immediately

• Simplify PC maintenance and not have to deal with network issues in your office

• Access to remote support so you are never alone

• You are in business for yourself but not by yourself

• Increased efficiency because you can have access to your live company files

Advantages Of QuickBooks Hosting (Cloud Computing) vs. QuickBooks Online

• QuickBooks Online - Is a totally different version of QuickBooks. It is different than QuickBooks Pro, Premier, or Enterprise.

• We Have Contracted - With an enterprise level QuickBooks hosting service to provide you with English speaking well trained network technicians to support you and your staff.

• You Can Use The QuickBooks Version - You have purchased or we can arrange to lease QuickBooks on a month-to-month basis and you will be upgraded to the latest versions every year at no additional cost.

• QuickBooks Desktop In The Cloud - Allows access to multiple licensed users at the same time and they do not have to be in the same location, city, state or country for that matter.

• QuickBooks Online - Does not offer the full features of QuickBooks. QuickBooks cloud computing offers every feature available with QuickBooks.

• QuickBooks Online - Does not have:

  • Purchase orders

  • Inventory tracking

  • Sales order tracking

  • Job costing or estimating

  • Customized price levels

  • Integration with Excel, Word, or Outlook

  • Online bill payment

  • Payroll input

  • Forecasts

  • Business plans

• QuickBooks Online - Does not allow user add-ons programs like:

• UDA Construction Suite

• Business Plan Software

• Marketing Plan Software

• Paperless Document Management

• Scheduling Software

• Job Costing Software

• Project Management Software

• Time Tracking Software

QuickBooks Hosting - Can save you and your staff time, energy and money by using exactly the same QuickBooks interface you use on your local PC.

Profitable Construction - Companies have known about the value of outsourced bookkeeping services for a long time and now you know about it too!
