Buy nowI do not own a small business but need help tracking finances, paying bills and the like. Several people have recommended QB for this management so I signed up fpr QB online. However, it seems to be created more for people that own a business. Am I in the wrong place to keep track of finances, spending, and banking?
QB Online is only suitable for business operations. If you need to track personal finances, you might consider using QB Desktop with a non-subscription license.
You are correct that QuickBooks Online (QBO) is primarily designed for small businesses. However, it can also be a valuable tool for managing personal finances, even if you don’t own a business, MBiz.
QBO allows you to record and track household expenses, manage bill payments, monitor bank account activity, and get an overview of your overall financial health. By linking your bank accounts and categorizing transactions, you can easily stay on top of your personal finances. The reporting features can also give you valuable insights into your spending habits and help you make informed financial decisions.
To get the most out of QuickBooks Online (QBO) for personal use, it’s a good idea to consult an accountant for expert advice. They can help you properly categorize transactions and set up your accounts, ensuring that your financial data is organized and meets your tracking needs.

Both QuickBooks Online and Desktop are designed for business use, not personal use. Maybe you're thinking of Quicken, not QuickBooks?
Thank you for responding. I’m not thinking of any app in particular. Quick books was recommended to me by my son. He has as small business. But, I do not. I can tell that I’m in the wrong place. I’m just looking for an app that’ll handle my banking and expenditures for a concrete way of examining and adjusting my spending. ☺️
I can see that more and more clearly. Thanks for responding. My son recommended QB to me but, He has a small business. I do not. I’m continuing my search for a more compatible forum. ☺️
