QuickBooks Versus Simply Accounting

Not All Financial Software Is Created Alike.


Some software is no-frills, designed just for one-person shops that only want, for example, basic invoicing. Other software is actually built for accountants - so it includes pretty confusing accountant-speak and complex functionality.

We believe that QuickBooks is the best solution for entrepreneurs & small businesses. Why? Because we've spent 25 years talking to people like you and shaping our financial software around your needs - the real needs of real entrepreneurs.  
 

"Setting up a new company with QuickBooks is fairly quick, and all the default accounts
were perfect. Easier setup than Simply Accounting, which I've used in the past."
- Jason Bourne, Accountant & QuickBooks 2010 Beta Tester
