I'm currently quite confused on which one should we use. My dad has a small General Contractor company and currently he uses Spreadsheets to create estimates and, based on the cost (materials, labor, gas, etc.), adds up margin profit and comes up with the final price to provide the customer with.
He has multiple crews, only a few are employees, the rest are just independent contracts. We don't really need tracking inventory or materials, just a way to allocate costs per job and track them separately from other costs.
Desktop Premier Contract Edition seems to be great but Online has also similar features according to our needs? I'd like to keep it as simple as possible that's why I'd go with Online.
Thanks!
Hi there, @AlanPS.
I understand your concern. You'll need a QuickBooks product that's appropriate for your business. I'm here to give some details and explain feature comparisons available in QuickBooks products.
QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop have some differences that can make one more suitable for your needs depending on the size of your company and how it operates.
QuickBooks Online is a web-based where you can access your company from anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection. QuickBooks Desktop is installed on your desktop computer and stores your data or a network server where you can access QuickBooks Desktop even if the internet connection is unavailable.
Moreover, QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop are both great accounting software that offers a feature that can make running your business much smoother.
Alternatively, here's a breakdown of QuickBooks Online versus QuickBooks Desktop, including how they compare on accounting software features: QuickBooks Online vs. Desktop.
I'll be right here to assist you if you have any other questions or concerns, @AlanPS. Have a lovely day!
I would recommend QB Desktop Premier. You can still purchase the one time license for QB Desktop 2021 if required. But if you are not familiar with QB Desktop or have an accounting background, you should choose QBO Plus to have the Project feature.
