Quickbooks

What is QuickBooks

QuickBooks is a suite of cloud and desktop accounting products developed by Intuit for small and midsize businesses, accountants, and bookkeepers. The platform combines core bookkeeping functions—income and expense tracking, invoicing, accounts payable, bank reconciliation, and reporting—with add‑ons for payroll, payments, time tracking, and tax management. QuickBooks exists as both QuickBooks Online (a cloud subscription) and desktop variants for specific markets, and it integrates with a large ecosystem of third‑party apps.

QuickBooks positions itself as an all‑in‑one financial management solution that reduces manual bookkeeping and surfaces financial insights. The product line supports single users and multi‑user teams, and offers roles and permissions appropriate for business owners and external accountants. Intuit also provides support channels including live chat, phone, and a sizable knowledge base and community resources to help with implementation and troubleshooting.

Because QuickBooks covers accounting, payroll, payments, and tax workflows, it is commonly used by sole proprietors, tradespeople, retailers, professional services firms, franchises, and mid‑market businesses that need integrated bookkeeping and reporting. Its extensibility and marketplace of integrations make it suitable for companies that need specialized functions—inventory, project costing, or industry‑specific modules—on top of standard accounting.
