There are many differences between QuickBooks Online Plus and QuickBooks Enterprise but the biggest difference straight out of the gate is that Enterprise is a desktop “on-premise” version of the software while QuickBooks Online is a web-based version of the software.  This means you can access Online Plus from any computer, phone, or tablet vs always having to use a Windows computer to access your data.  Enterprise does have a solution for this by adding cloud-hosted access and for most people that need the features only found in Enterprise, that fills the gap.

Although both have their pros and cons, it really comes down to the type of business you have and the functionality you need.  If you are a service-style business with no heavy demands for inventory tracking or assemblies, QuickBooks Online Plus will probably suit you just fine, and if you need to add some functionality, there are lots of apps that you can bolt on that will get you where you need.  On the other hand, if you need more specific functionality like barcode scanning, tracking by lot bin or serial numbers, automated pricing rules, or assembly builds, QuickBooks Enterprise would be a better place to start.

NOTE: If you are looking to move from Enterprise to QuickBooks Online, the version that we would recommend is QuickBooks Online Advanced. QuickBooks Enterprise has many “high level” features and Online Advanced being the highest level of QuickBooks Online, is going to give you the best compatibility. If you would like to get a free 30-day trial of QuickBooks Online Advanced, just click on the link below and you can test and try it in real time for yourself.

There are many differences between QuickBooks Online Plus and QuickBooks Premier 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 Premier, it can get expensive really quickly and for the functionality you are getting in Premier, QuickBooks Online Plus or Advanced would be in many cases, a much better choice.   In addition, with all QuickBooks Desktop 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 features, reporting, and integration.

Here are some of the key areas where QuickBooks Online Plus is going to stand out:

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 to up to 5 users (same user limits as Premier) 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 Pro and Premier, making the move to QuickBooks Enterprise or QuickBooks Online Plus or Advanced is, in many cases, a smart choice.

If you have additional questions on QuickBooks Online or want to discuss how to move your data from Premier, just give our experts a call at 866-949-7267 and we can get you the answers that you are looking for.  If you want to move up to desktop Enterprise, we can get you a 30-day free trial of the latest version, and/or if you would like to get a free 30-day trial of QuickBooks Online Advanced, just click on the link below.

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:

No.  You can only create and manage custom roles in QuickBooks Online Advanced.  QuickBooks Online Plus allows you to use the standard roles and customize what people can see within those parameters.  Here are the different preset roles that you can manage in Plus:

1. Primary Admin: The primary admin is the main user who has access to every part of the QuickBooks account. They can manage all users and other admin tasks. By default, the primary admin is the person who initially set up the account.  If you need to assign a new primary admin, you can transfer the role to another user.
2. Company Admin:  A company admin has access to every part of the QuickBooks account. They can do everything the primary admin can do, except edit or remove the primary admin’s access.
3. Custom User (Only available in QuickBooks Online Advanced):  This user can have specific access to areas in QuickBooks Online. This gives you even more control over what they see or do. For example, you can allow a custom user to see only the Bank Deposit screen.
4. Standard User:  You can set different levels of access for this user. They can work with customers, sales, vendors, and expenses. These users can enter timesheets, add users, update company info, or manage subscriptions.

If you are looking to have the ability to create custom roles, you should take a look a QuickBooks Online Advanced and the additional features available in that subscription.

No.  QuickBooks Online Plus does not have the ability to track employee expenses.  To be able to track employee expenses, you would need to use the QuickBooks Online Advanced version.  In Advanced, these are the features that you have when it comes to employee expense tracking:

• Employees can upload expense receipts directly to QuickBooks, so your records are up to date and complete.   
• Receipt capture allows you to save time tracking and recording your receipts from vendors. You can use the mobile app to upload them to QuickBooks Online from your computer or mobile device, or even from your email account.  Once you do, QuickBooks extracts info from it and creates a transaction for you to review.  From there, you can edit the receipt, add it to an account, or match it to an existing transaction in the Receipts tab.
• Review each employee expense, make adjustments and add them to your books—all within QuickBooks.

Yes, Both QuickBooks Online Plus and QuickBooks Online Advanced will allow you to create and use projects to track your project’s profitability. You can add project income, expenses, and labor costs, and run project-specific reports from a single dashboard. If needed, you can also add old transactions to new or ongoing projects.  Here are the steps below on how to set up and add transactions to a project:

Step 1: Create a new project

1. Go to Business overview and select Projects
2. Select New project.
3. In the Project name field, enter the project name.
4. Select the project customer from the Customer ▼ dropdown.
5. Add any notes or details about the project in Notes.
6. Select Save.

After you’ve created a project, you can add both new and existing transactions to the project.

Step 2: Add new transactions to a project

You can add new transactions like invoices, expenses, or estimates directly into your project. Adding transactions to projects won’t change how they’re categorized or affect your accounts. You’re simply marking them as a part of the project so you can track a specific project’s income and expenses.

There are two ways to add new transactions. You can create the transaction in QuickBooks as you normally would. Just enter the project name in the Customer/Project dropdown. Or here’s how to create a new transaction from within projects:

1. Go to Business overview and select Projects
2. Select your project.
3. Select Add to project to create a new transaction.
4. Select Invoice, Receive Payment, Expense, Estimate, Time, or Bill.
5. Fill out the details for the transaction as you normally would.
6. Select Save and close.

Step 4: Add existing expenses to a project

If you have existing expense transactions that you’ve already added to QuickBooks, like bills, checks, expenses, or purchase orders, here’s how to add them to your project:

1. Go to Bookkeeping, select Transactions, then select Expenses.
2. Find and open the transaction you want to add to your project.
3. In the Customer/Project column, select the ▼ dropdown. Then select the project. Do this for each expense item you want to add to your project. This is different from the payee for the expense. Note: If you don’t see the Customer/Project column, you can turn on the setting Track expenses and items by the customer in the Expense section of your QuickBooks account.
4. Select Save and close.
