QuickBooks
Cloud accounting software for invoicing, expenses, bank reconciliation, and financial reporting for small businesses.
What it does
QuickBooks is cloud accounting software for invoicing, expenses, bank reconciliation, payroll add-ons and financial reporting for small businesses. It is best for sellers who have outgrown spreadsheets and need proper books — invoicing, expenses and reporting in one place. Its key strength is breadth and scale: it covers the full accounting workflow and is rated by thousands of users. The honest limitation is price at the top end: Simple Start is $38/month, but Essentials is $85, Plus $140 and Advanced $340 a month, so costs climb steeply as needs grow. A free $0 plan exists (one user, two invoices a month, one bank connection), plus a trial and 50% off for the first three months on paid plans. Rated 4.0 on G2 (3,827 reviews) — the largest review count in this set, but the lowest score.
