What is QuickBooks Online?
QuickBooks Online is useful when business finances have outgrown disconnected invoices and spreadsheets. Bank connections, expense categorization and reports bring day-to-day activity into a shared set of books. The plan choice depends on who needs access and whether you manage inventory, projects or more detailed reporting.
The US Free plan is deliberately small: one user, one bank connection and two invoices per month in its basic allowance. Paid plans expand the workflow, while Plus and Advanced address more complex operations. Payroll, payment processing and other services can add costs. Country editions differ, and QuickBooks Online is a separate product from QuickBooks Desktop.
