Helli info-fisherandmi,
Thanks for reaching out to us here. QuickBooks is a versatile program that helps you streamline your work using the powerful features offered in the program. Rest assured, I'll be happy to share more info so you're on the right track.
The ability to pay subcontractors isn't available in QuickBooks. I can see the benefit of having this function for your business and I encourage you to send feedback about this to our engineers. You can send feedback by clicking on the Gear icon and looking for Feedback. New product ideas and improvements are based on the feedback we get from users like you. I also recommend looking into third-party apps on our app store www.apps.com. As a workaround, you can: Record payroll transactions manually so your employee's payroll data can be recorded.
Let me know if you have other questions by leaving a comment below. I'll be here.
