Great explanation. I was almost ready to jump to online, becuase I wanted the interaction of use with ipad and iphone., however the backing up issue is a big one and I rather retain control of our data. I will keep watching for future updates.

Awesome overview of the different software platforms, will be checking out your spreadsheet next before purchasing!!

"A Gazillion" is the official quantification of how much better QB Desktop is than QBO for Custom Reports!

For organizations that are scaling and need to integrate IT, cloud-based infrastructure works well for securing access to QB Online! 7:50

Here in UK. Support for desktop is being with drawn in January 2023. I have not seen any note that the 2021 version will be supported for three years as I believe you have mentioned in one of your videos.

For desktop, when entering on an invoice from the items list, can that popup columns be customized? It shows irrelevant columns and needs to show the price and vendor.

Hector: Can you do a lecture on other options as Enhanced Payroll for Accountants may not be avaiable for new accountants ? Still cold and raining in Chicago

[CamiloJarquin]

what would you recommend for a small business that is currently using Excel and is debating wether to use quickbooks online or desktop?

[PassionRecordingStudiocoxnet]

Very invormative and great video. Thank you

[AlpineHighWindowCleaning]

Great video thanks! Side note - The mic next to your head is distracting. Maybe consider a different placement for it?

[jamesa.cliame]

Great concise video Hector! Any elaborate reporting tool that you like that isn't as complex as QBAR?

With a single Quickbooks online account, how many businesses can I put on a single user? If I'm doing bookkeeping for 3 different companies, can I have this with a single user subscription? Hope that makes sense. Thank you for your content. It's very helpful.

I know this is a late post, but just found this video and having the same issue of deciding.
But what I can tell, the basic version of QB online is around 25 dollars, which has very limited uses.
while QB desktop, seems like the version will last 3 years before its outdated and no longer supported. price wise is 399.00 / 36 months is around 11-12 dollars a month with full capability.
I am struggling with my small business, spending around 80 bucks to get access to inventory is hard to justify for the online version. I would like to know my profit for sales but online just lets me place items on a invoice without the difference between my cost, and the sale cost. But i can get all of this with the desktop version, which comes out to be 11-12 bucks a month till I have to upgrade to the newest desktop version.

Great video thank you. I am confused on how to set up my books. I am trying to set up a few under an umbrella type or holding and the others under that one. Should I have one for the main company and then one for each one under it? I think this is only possible with the desktop version correct?

So we have been using Desktop version for 20 years. Latest version is 2020 Premier Contractor Edition. We decided to make a move to Online version. What a big mistake for us. Unfortunately, the estimates, purchase orders, etc lost lots of features including the ability to create mark ups on our estimates. We have our costs plus mark up percentage in our estimate, when approved, we send a purchase order to our vendor or in house HOWEVER this feature is gone with the online version and has been a problem since 2018 that has not been addressed by intuit (per several forums we read through) any suggestions?

Is QuickBooks desktop compatible with a Mac?

[CEOako]

In other words, it really depends on what type of job that you're doing as bookkeeper.
For me, as a beginner and starting to study quickbooks, I rather use both to be more familiar with its features.

Es decir, que para una persona que desea llevar la contabilidad de varios clientes. el accoumtant edition sería el recomendable?
Gracias por tu aporte!

Happy New Year Hector! Great Vid, midway through, I thought I'd post my question just in case its not covered. :-) I am trying to avoid online version / monthly pmts etc I own quickbooks Pro 2013 which I loved for my construction bus in the past. I haven't used for a while. QUESTION: for Amazon seller bus, (we just started 2 1/2 mo ago and already hit 10K for the last 30 days doing arbitrage/replenishment), soon going in pv arena with goals to grow it exponentially. In the next 2 weeks I need to choose my accounting software to use. Would you use the 2013 Pro or other desktop version any advice by you (or anyone with expertise here) would be greately appreciated. Thanks and Best Wishes for the New Year to all!
