QuickBooks Online

Primary-source desk review Β· September 3, 2026

A US small business that needs cloud bookkeeping, invoicing, bank reconciliation, and an accountant-compatible operating record.

Vendor-listed core features

  • βœ“ Invoicing
  • βœ“ Expense Tracking
  • βœ“ Bank Reconciliation
  • βœ“ Tax Preparation

Pricing snapshot

The official US page lists non-promotional monthly prices from $38 for Simple Start to $340 for Advanced; temporary discounts, payroll, payments, users, and add-ons change total cost.

What the subscription does not operate for you

Bank feeds and automation still require review, reconciliation, closing discipline, access control, and an accountable bookkeeper or accountant.

Migration and exit checks

Reconcile opening balances, unpaid invoices and bills, tax settings, payroll boundaries, attachments, and historical reports before switching the system of record.

Standard exports cover reports, lists, attachments, and selected dataβ€”not a one-click portable company database. Prove the required archive and import path before cancellation.

Tradeoff: A broad ERP has materially more setup and process-change work than a small accounting app.
