Is Quickbooks the Best Accounting Solution for My Business?

Initially released in 1983, Quickbooks and subsequently, Quickbooks Online, have become popular options for small to mid sized businesses. These businesses utilize the ease of use and capabilities of Quickbooks for an affordable accounting and bookkeeping solution. But, Quickbooks is not the best solution for all businesses. And, before investing, most business owners wonder “is Quickbooks the best accounting solution for my business?”

Here are a few aspects and common questions relating to Quickbooks to consider before deciding if Quickbooks is right for your business:

Is My Business too Big for Quickbooks?

A common misconception about Quickbooks is that they are limited to small businesses (less than 50 employees) rather than mid-sized businesses. In reality, while 66% of Quickbooks users are small businesses, 28% are mid-sized. This means that even if you expect your business to surpass 50 employees, Quickbooks is still fully capable of meeting your needs.

Will My Business Revenue Outgrow Quickbooks?

Quickbooks was designed with small businesses in mind. Most Quickbook users have less than 50 million in revenue, leaving plenty of room for growth in your business without changing to an alternative accounting and bookkeeping solution. 

Can I Have Accurate Financial Reports Regarding My Business Using Quickbooks?

When set up properly, Quickbooks Enterprise allows industry specific reporting, snapshots, and interactive reports.

If you are interested in financial reports specific to your business, connect with ModVenturesLLC for a consultation.

What is The Difference Between Quickbooks Online and Quickbooks Desktop?
