It is said that QuickBooks Desktop has more features than its online version. Even if that is true, QuickBooks Online wins hands down when it comes to convenience, accessibility and affordability. Moreover, the online version can be customized as and when required to meet your company’s evolving needs.

You need to consider using the online version of QuickBooks accounting software in the following situations:

When you are Always on the Move
The online version is specifically designed to manage finances on the fly. Just an Internet connectivity to your device, which can be a laptop, tablet or even a smartphone will allow you to operate the software and access your accounts data on the go. You have to simply login to your account with appropriate username and password in order to view and modify the data.

When your Employees are Working from Remote Places
Consider this: You are in the office and want to discuss issues regarding accounts with your accountant. Now if he is working from a remote place, all you have to do is share your user id and password. This will allow him to access your data online and rectify the issues. So as a business owner, if you want to embrace remote workforce, it is a must to use QuickBooks Online. When you integrate QuickBooks Online with appropriate software, you can easily monitor attendance of your remote employees. QuickBooks Online integration with other cloud-based tools and apps is simpler to implement and which can help manage your financial data with ease.

When you are on a Tight Budget
Startups and small businesses looking for a least expensive way to manage their accounts should go for the online version of accounting software. Opting for the desktop version can be an expensive proposition. Whereas the online version is available on a monthly subscription basis, which is far cheaper than its counterpart. In case of QuickBooks, you don’t have to worry neither about installation nor about annual upgrades as you receive automatic feature update via Internet.
