Ask the Accountant…
Question: I have never used QuickBooks before. Which one should I buy: Desktop or Online?
Answer: I have been a fan of QuickBooks Desktop (the regular one) for distributors, but over the last several years, Intuit (owner of QB) has been strongly pushing QuickBooks Online (QBO).
It has become apparent that QBO is the future of QuickBooks. For this reason, I recommend that any distributor who is new to QuickBooks go with QBO. I don’t want to see anyone go into Desktop and then have to switch to QBO if or when Desktop is discontinued.
