    About QuickBooks Online

    QuickBooks Online is Intuit's cloud accounting software for Australian businesses. It covers invoicing, expense tracking, cash flow, bank feeds and reporting.

    GST and end-of-financial-year tools are included, and payroll is offered as a separate QuickBooks Payroll product. Time tracking is available through QuickBooks Time.

    AI features help categorise transactions, flag anomalies and check for GST discrepancies. Plans are tiered by number of users and each includes access for your accountant.

    Pricing: QuickBooks Online is a monthly subscription with four plans (Simple Start, Essentials, Plus and Advanced) tiered by number of users. The vendor states there is no contract and you can cancel any time. Intuit runs offers from time to time.

    Why it suits tourism businesses

    Tourism businesses use QuickBooks Online to send invoices, track expenses and keep their books in the same place as their bank feeds. Giving your accountant or bookkeeper access means year-end work can run off live records.

    Hundreds of apps connect through the QuickBooks App Store, including PayPal, Square, Shopify and Mailchimp. That helps when sales come through more than one tool.

    Helps with: Accounting, Bookkeeping, Tax
