Why We Use QuickBooks Online (and Why You’ll Love It Too)
When it comes to managing your business finances, not all bookkeeping software is created equal. At Virtual Bookkeepers, we proudly use QuickBooks Online because it’s secure, efficient, and built for small business success.
Why QuickBooks Online?
QuickBooks Online (QBO) is the gold standard for cloud bookkeeping. It’s user-friendly, integrates with hundreds of apps, and makes collaboration between you and your bookkeeper seamless. No more emailing spreadsheets back and forth—everything is live, in real time.
The Benefits of QuickBooks Online
1. Access Anytime, Anywhere
Check your financials from your laptop, tablet, or even your phone. Whether you’re in the office, at home, or poolside, your books are at your fingertips.
2. Real-Time Collaboration
Your bookkeeper can log in at the same time you do, so questions get answered faster and updates happen instantly.
3. Bank Integration
No more manual data entry—QBO automatically pulls transactions from your bank and credit cards, saving time and reducing errors.
4. Easy Invoicing & Payments
Create professional invoices, accept payments online, and get paid faster. Bonus: no more chasing clients with sticky notes and reminder texts.
5. Powerful Reporting
QuickBooks provides instant profit-and-loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports so you can make informed business decisions.
6. Secure & Reliable
With bank-level security and automatic backups, your financial data is always safe. Way better than storing receipts in a shoebox under your desk.
QuickBooks Online vs. Other Tools
There are plenty of bookkeeping platforms out there. Here’s why we prefer QBO over two other popular options:
QuickBooks Online vs. Xero
Xero is great for global users but can feel less intuitive for U.S.-based small businesses.
QBO integrates better with U.S. banks, payroll providers, and tax systems, making it more seamless for American businesses.
QuickBooks Online vs. Wave
Wave is free, but you get what you pay for—limited reporting and fewer integrations.
QBO offers professional-grade features like inventory tracking, advanced reporting, and scalable solutions as your business grows.
The Bottom Line: While Xero and Wave are decent tools, QuickBooks Online consistently delivers the balance of power, flexibility, and reliability small business owners need.
Why Our Clients Love It
Small business owners tell us that QuickBooks Online feels like their “financial dashboard.” Everything is organized, accurate, and available whenever they need it—without the stress.
Final Thoughts
At Virtual Bookkeepers, we don’t just keep your books—we give you the tools to stay on top of your business finances. That’s why we use QuickBooks Online for all our clients.
