So you’ve made the decision? You really must switch from QuickBooks Online to Pro, Premier or Enterprise? You probably think I’m disappointed, but I promise, I’m not. I totally understand and I’m here to help you make the transition. As I previously mentioned, there are just some things that QuickBooks Online (QBO) can’t do that [...]

Thinking of making the change from QuickBooks Pro, Premier, Enterprise or even Mac to QuickBooks Online? Read this first. I want to say, if you are considering this switch: YAY!

The QuickBooks Online Income List
It’s an Income List, but not an income list. Confused? Don’t be, I’ll explain how it all works. Earlier this year, the QuickBooks Online team introduced the Income List.
