Curious how small sized businesses are doing it?
Is quickbooks good enough?
- Sam bank an fried used quickbooks on his multi billion $ business. Good enuf for me ;) 
- I have clients i do the bookkeeping for in qbo and xero, i really prefer xero and only allow qbo if they need it for some reason. 
- sage comes in handy 
- I’m seeing a lot of QuickBooks answers. Is there a point where you might switch from a smaller player like Freshbooks or Wave and move to QuickBooks? 
- Xero is slightly better than quickbooks. However US businesses prefer qb. It’s up to you. I advice hire good bookkeeper than doing yourself. Ping me if any questions. Happy to guide. 
- I use Quickbooks for both of my companies. - Outsource bookkeeping to someone good, it’s worth the investment in having clean books. 
- Quickbooks all the way! - also, Wave is trash. 
- Depends. What’s the business? Manufacturing requires a lot more than qb IMO but it can be done. 
- Quickbooks can be good enough. At 1-5 million you need at least one staff member responsible for entering information into QB. Could be anywhere from a clerk to a CFO. Accounting is a hard profession to recruit in. - We are hitting growing pains with QB right now and we are slightly larger than 1-5. Between 1-5 it had its issues but was fine. 
- I used quickbooks and then hired a company overseas to do it. Saved me tons of money 
- We commonly see businesses in this range use QuickBooks and, depending on the founders’ background and priorities, start to consider a fractional CFO. 
- As an accountant that runs his own practice, I can confirm QuickBooks is utter trash, Xero is a million times better for SMEs. - I’d have a local bookkeeper that understands your local taxes. I’m sorry but 99% of offshore bookkeepers say they know your tax system but they don’t. Pick someone that lives it the same way you do. - Some people have said the had a CFO that did the bookkeeping for them as well. That’s mental if you’re paying them by the hour. Utilise their time for strategic advice, not bank recs! 
- Fractional CFO/accounting firm with Quickbooks and a payroll provider, but we had some complexities to our products (B2C Fintech). - We used QB past the $20MM mark. 
- IF you dont mind me asking what is your LOB and does it require pulling numbers from different systems ? 
- Outsource QBO (not QB desktop) or Xero.
