Frequently Asked Questions

There are many differences between QuickBooks Online Plus and QuickBooks for Mac primarily because one is a desktop "windows based" software while QuickBooks Online is a web-based version of the software.  This gives you the ability to access Online from any computer, phone, or tablet vs always having to use a Windows computer to access your data.  Although you can add cloud-hosted access to QuickBooks for Mac, it can get expensive really quickly and for the functionality, you are getting on Mac, QuickBooks Online is a better choice and is the preferred conversion for most people using Apple/Mac OS.   In addition, with all QuickBooks Desktop Mac versions now being subscription based for the same or maybe just a little more cost, you are going to get much more value in the way of functionality, reporting, and integration. Here are some of the key areas where QuickBooks Online Plus is going to stand out over QuickBooks for Mac:
  1. Web-based so you can access it from anywhere and on any device including Apple/Mac as well as phones and tablets with the free app.
  2. Access for up to 5 users (Pro maxes at 3 users) and up to 2 remote dedicated accountant logins
  3. Manage things like mileage tracking, cash flow, time tracking, and project profitability
  4. Track employee time by client and project
  5. Track products, cost of goods, see what’s popular, create purchase orders, and manage vendors.
  6. Greatly enhanced reporting and insights
  7. Connectivity with online channels and marketplaces like Amazon, Shopify, and eBay
  8. 600+ exclusive app integrations that allow you to increase productivity and customize your software
With the majority of the focus and growth coming in the online space and the consistent migration away from the older versions of Desktop Mac, Pro, and Premier, making the move to QuickBooks Enterprise or QuickBooks Online Plus or Advanced is, in many cases, a smart choice.
