This is a product offering designed for you, not your clients. However, a client can be added as primary admin on the subscription (see below) to allow access to review transactions, connect bank feeds, collect documents, and run reports. In addition, some accountants and teams offer bookkeeping, accounting, advisory, and tax preparation. The seamless passing of client information from one group or individual to another is possible using QBOA firm user access.

• You can customize templates from mobile devices but not using mobile apps; instead, use the browser-based QBO on your mobile device.
• Diane Koers owns and operates All Business Service, a software training and consulting business formed in 1988 that services the central Indiana area.
• Dummies helps everyone be more knowledgeable and confident in applying what they know.
• Ledger is also beneficial for small Schedule C taxpayers, passive rentals, and holding companies when considering the bookkeeping to tax transition.

Some banks and credit card companies can provide accountant credentials to connect the feeds without the client having to be on Ledger. In the event your client doesn’t bank with one that offers accountant credentials, your client could be added to Ledger to connect their bank feeds as detailed above. If none of the options are available for the client, a .csv file can be uploaded, or you can use a third-party app or manually enter transactions.

Ledger is an accountant-only offering through QBOA designed to serve clients with basic, low-complexity accounting needs. Ledger is not a bookkeeping or accounting system, but is meant to work in conjunction with QBOA. Top QBOA features include a dashboard, automatic team activity notifications, accountant tools to maintain the client’s accounting data. QBOA users have the same additional options in QBO Desktop that they have in a browser. The menus at the top of the screen are the biggest visual difference between QBO and QBOA in QBO Desktop and QBO and QBOA in a browser.

Higher team productivity

The word “app” has become a buzzword and is often used when it probably shouldn’t be. In this article, we’re using the word “app” only when we refer to the mobile versions of QBO and what are the examples of contingent assets that are available for download from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. Once the bookkeeping is finalized and reviewed, Ledger can be automatically synced with ProConnect Tax. Take your practice to the next level with tailored advice and support.

Before you leave our site, we want you to know your app store has its own privacy practices and level of security which may be different from ours, so please review their policies. Another great feature of ProConnect is that it enables you to invite an unlimited number of users right from within the program settings. All team members who access ProConnect must first be invited as a user. But like we mentioned, you can invite as many users as you need to get the job done. Whether you’re searching for you or your client, find cloud, desktop, and mobile solutions to tackle every task.

In addition to using the QBO mobile apps for iOS and Android, you also can access the QBO sign-in page and your QBO account from your mobile device’s browser at Intuit. For example, you can customize invoice templates from the browser-based QBO and from QBO Desktop. You can customize templates from mobile devices but not using mobile apps; instead, use the browser-based QBO on your mobile device.
