For the first time, the Larimer SBDC will be offering “QuickBooks Online: 3 Part Series” beginning on September 9 and running through September 23.
While the functionality of QuickBooks Online is very similar to what is offered through their traditional desktop software, they are visually very different. QuickBooks Online also has the advantage of integrating with mobile applications that can be used on both a smartphone and tablet.

• Do I want to be able to update QuickBooks from multiple devices (computer, smartphone, tablet)? Online
• Do I want to pay for the software once and use it for multiple years? Desktop
• Do I want my accountant/CPA to be able to log on and immediately fix entries? Online
• How much phone support do I need? Unlimited – Online; Pay for extra – Desktop
• Do I want to have the latest features automatically? Online
• Do I want to have permanent record continuity, even if I change software? Desktop
