Throughout the United States, business owners and accountants are feeling the pressure to give up their desktop version of QuickBooks and join the world of cloud computing. Their clients want it, their competition already has it and the business media loves it.

Nobody wants to feel like they are being left behind and there is no shortage of people extolling the virtues of cloud-based accounting strategies. QuickBooks Online is a great solution but switching to it means giving up some unique features that come with QuickBooks Desktop; it also means devoting additional time and money to transitioning to a new system.

For business owners that want the benefits of being in the cloud but don’t want to switch systems, there is now Qvinci financial reporting software which has been designed to work with QuickBooks Desktop.

Through the use of the Qvinci download sync application, QuickBooks Desktop users can sync their data securely to the Qvinci server where the QuickBooks reporting files become cloud accessible. Businesses have the ability to give clients cloud access to reports and to expand their reports with Qvinci’s unique features.  The Sync App then automatically syncs data once a day so files are always up to date. Since they are in the cloud, these files are also always accessible to business owners on the go.

Key Features of Desktop QuickBooks Reporting Software

Although cloud-based software offers many benefits, there are numerous reasons why business owners have stayed loyal to QuickBooks Desktop over the years including:

  • No Internet connection required to access QuickBooks reporting files
  • One-time payment for software
  • Familiarity with a tried and true system
  • More features than QuickBooks Online including the ability to track job budget and complete job costs
  • Advanced Excel exporting capabilities
  • Integration with QuickBooks Point of Sale
  • The ability to use QuickBooks Bill Pay
  • The ability to customize your QuickBooks reporting forms and reports
  • Data that is in the personal control of the business and not impacted by online interruptions and downtime

The Pressure to “Be in the Cloud”

Despite a preference for QuickBooks Desktop, many business owners and accountants have given in to pressure to be “in the cloud.” For many, the benefits of increased accessibility to reporting files have been offset by a list of drawbacks including:

  • Costs associated with getting the new cloud-based service
  • Time and money required for data conversion
  • Time required to learn the new system
  • Time and money required to retrain employees
  • Reduced work efficiency and productivity in the transition time
  • Loss of QuickBooks Desktop’s unique features

Qvinci Offers a Winning Compromise

Today, it is possible for businesses to retain the QuickBooks Desktop software they love while still enjoying cloud accessibility. That compromise is Qvinci financial reporting software.

With Qvinci, business owners no longer have to choose between the QuickBooks reporting software they love and the cloud accessibility they need.
