It is starting to feel like volatile times using QuickBooks in a practice. Many dental practices feel they are being pressured to use QuickBooks Online, when it is truly their call. I still do not recommend QB Online. It is an expensive product for only 15% of the accounting.
85% of the accounting is created in the practice management software, with only bank account deposits being necessary to enter into QB.
I have worked with many practices in the past two years who have become frustrated with the illogical features and flow of the QB Online product and have converted their data to the QB Desktop Pro. Now Intuit is forcing those previous users of the Full Service payroll, that was offered as a web-based product, to a new product, that has the same look and feel as QB Online, and, unfortunately, is just as confusing.
I worked with a client last week who had used the web-based payroll product for years, who is now bringing payroll into his QB Desktop as Assisted Payroll. I have been teaching QuickBooks since it was QuickBooks 1.0, first group member to be a ProAdvisor, first group member to be an Advanced ProAdvisor. In fact, my first book was QuickBooks 1.0.
These are very different times in the Intuit world but after all these changes, and their obvious need to increase revenue, I still believe Desktop Pro is the best product for professional practices using dual accounting software. Setup correctly, specifically designed for a practice, makes managing the financial workflow much easier.
