QuickBooks is the best and most popular small business accounting software available today, and as its popularity has skyrocketed in recent years, the brand has spun out more niche-focused editions to cater to users in specific industries.
Each version of QuickBooks gives you different features and benefits. In addition, the software provides a wide range of accounting products and payroll, payment and point-of-sale offerings, so it can be hard to know which QuickBooks is for you.
