This was the cheapest plan to allow multiple users at once. I went with the $27-per-month QuickBooks Essentials plan, and my bookkeeper was able to get me a discounted rate of just over $20 per month for a year. Pricing for QuickBooks Online ranges from $13 to $79 per month, depending on the features you need. Web apps typically offer less-convenient interfaces than desktop apps, but in this case, the cost won me over. QuickBooks Online can perform nearly all the functions of the desktop version of QuickBooks, including producing a wide range of reports. We wouldn’t have to mess with Windows software, or with exporting and importing files, and our accountant could access our data over the Web, too.
