Summary

QuickBooks Online from Intuit is fairly easy to setup and use. However, help is recommended for those without an accounting background. QuickBooks Online could be configured to different businesses to make it more suited for specific needs. With each business having its own unique requirements, hiring the help of an accountant could be a good idea.

QuickBooks Online from Intuit does provide a number of features that makes it a popular product for personal and business use. However, some of the more advanced accounting features are available on higher versions. 

QuickBooks could be an invaluable tool for small businesses that require specialized accounting services but do not have the resources to hire an accountant or additional employees. The software is able to handle most day to day financial processes in an easy to digest format. It helps you take control and track every transaction while being able to generate reports for making more informed business decisions.
