Cloud Hosting QuickBooks Desktop vs QuickBooks Online
QuickBooks Online is the SaaS (Software as a Service) version of your accounting software, meaning it’s a cloud-native app that is deployed completely digitally. However, it is much more limited than QuickBooks Desktop on-premise in terms of scalability, forcing you into lower user, transaction and entity volume per plan and charging extra if you need to increase these benchmarks. Hosting QuickBooks in the cloud lets you capture the best of both worlds and customize your environment for the scale and scope you need to run your business smoothly.
