As a simple starter package, QuickBooks Online (QBOL) is generally considered the easiest accounting software to implement for someone without an accounting background, and these are our general findings:

• Similar to myGPcloud, QBOL is easy to log into, from anywhere, with internet access
• No additional software is required of either package
• QBOL is also very user friendly, with the Vendor and Customer Centers that show you the flow of any “Money In” and “Money Out” with an easy to follow chart
• Users like the simple check writing features with the “Write Check” screen that looks exactly like a paper check from your checkbook, any beginning user can make payments easily
• QBOL’s reports are simple to use and users can run reports that are already built into the system at the summary level and then simply click on the amount to view further detail
• Exporting reports can be difficult if not impossible at times
• While the reports are simple, they many times lack the detail data that management teams often require
• For companies with aggressive expansion plans or more sophisticated needs, QBOL can be outgrown quickly
• From a true accounting perspective, QBOL does not provide reliable and secure financial data that follows Sarbanes-Oxley guidelines for compliance. For example, users are allowed to make changes AFTER the end of the fiscal year or after a bank reconciliation has been performed
• User security and roles are limited, and transaction audit trails do not exist outside of the General Ledger
• QuickBooks Online does not provide batch processing that is useful in complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and maintaining reliable checks and balances within an organization
• Limited Purchase Order approval processes, which may expose a company to overspending
• QBOL does not have the functionality to manage certain types of organizations such as manufacturing, not-for-profit, project accounting or companies with significant contract administration needs
