Who QuickBooks is For

Given its multiple price points and extensive integration capabilities, QuickBooks is a good choice for accounting software for most firms. However, it is not customized for law firms and as a result it can be difficult to meet your trust accounting obligations in QuickBooks.

Additional Details About QuickBooks

A plan for just about everyone. QuickBooks provides a wide range of accounting features that work for many small business sizes. In order to do this, Intuit offers multiple pricing plans. Not all plans include the above features.

Security. QuickBooks uses SSL (secure-socket layer) to ensure your data is encrypted in transit. Credit card and social security numbers are converted to tokens or encrypted. QuickBooks secures its data centers with 24/7 personnel and video surveillance and has backup generators to keep data available during power outages.
