QuickBooks Online Software

QuickBooks has moved their classic desktop program into an easy-to-use online software. You may want to look into switching.
If you decide to upgrade to QuickBooks Online you get the ability to:

• Automatically send and schedule invoices
• Get instant access and unified files for all users
• Work from a PC, Mac, smartphone, or tablet anywhere

However, they haven’t yet implemented a way to calculate and rebill job costs or to calculate discounts by the customer. If these processes are integral to your business model, then stick with the Classic Desktop version.
