As we approach year end, I am considering trying new software to track my business income and expenses. I use Quicken for my clients so this is just for my business. My top priorities, other than ease of use and reliability, are time tracking and invoicing. I have a Mac, but a cloud-based product would probably work for any system. I have been using QuickBooks for years and want to try something new. I’d love to hear from those of you who use other software. Thanks!
I’m trying out cloud-based Xero for 2018, as opposed to QBO, largely to test it’s features against QB (PC) and to get away from straddling both Mac and PC for software applications I currently use. It should be capable to handle your priorities, and also integrates with other apps to increase features.

I do think you would really like Quickbooks Online much better than QB Mac, but if you want a complete change then I second Xero. Also Wave is a simple cloud based system and it is free, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have time tracking.

info@CarisCustomOrganizing.comFor the last three years I have used FRESHBOOKS. It is cloud based. I originally choose it for the time tracking feature which is great. I also like the invoice feature (created directly from hours billed per client). The only issue I’ve had is with importing expenses from my business credit card….the connectivity doesn’t always work. But they have great customer service. Good luck!
I decided to go with QB Essentials (online product for any computer). I did look at the other products and appreciate all the recommendations. I made the decision because I am so familiar with QB and really wasn’t up for a new learning experience. I also discovered that since I already have QB, they sold me the new product for $21 a month. That’s a good deal!
For those who uses a mac, you should know that Intuit is no longer producing a desktop version for mac. So if you are using 2016 (last year they released mac version), at some point your mac OS will not be compatible. You might want to switch to online version before that happens so it’s not a fire drill.
