QBO vs Desktop
Pick the right QuickBooks version
QuickBooks Online (QBO) is the default for new businesses; Desktop is being sunset for most SKUs. Migrate now if you're still on Desktop Pro/Premier.
- QBO Simple Start: 1 user, basic income/expense ($30/mo)
- QBO Essentials: 3 users, AP, time tracking ($60/mo)
- QBO Plus: 5 users, inventory, class/location ($90/mo)
- QBO Advanced: 25 users, custom reports, batch ($200/mo)
- Desktop Enterprise: still supported for inventory-heavy
What a ProAdvisor delivers
Setup, cleanup, ongoing close
A ProAdvisor engagement covers three workstreams. Most firms quote them separately.
- Setup: chart of accounts, opening balances, bank feeds, integrations
- Cleanup: reconcile back months, fix misclassifications, journal entries
- Monthly close: bank rec, AP/AR review, P&L + BS delivery
- Year-end: 1099 prep, accountant copy to your CPA
