Alternatives to QuickBooks: Get Total Visibility and Better Decision Making in the Cloud

Are you leveraging your financial data to help you grow your business?

You want to grow your business, but how do you know the right direction to go? Do you want to add locations? Acquire new entities? Expand a current service offering? To make the right decision, you need timely access to key financial information—something your QuickBooks or other entry-level financial system can’t provide. It’s time to consider cloud-based alternatives to QuickBooks such as Sage Intacct’s financial management solution that gives you total visibility into your company’s performance so you can plan strategically for growth.

When making the switch to a new system, timing is everything. You don’t want to wait so long that finance slows your company’s progress—which happens all too often when companies cling to QuickBooks. A few of the difficulties include:

• As the single source of information, finance becomes buried in requests from different departments to get the data needed to run their part of the business properly.
• Building financial reporting packages requires time-consuming manual processes, which means waiting until days or even weeks after the close of a reporting period to get key information.
• Filtering in QuickBooks is limited to the chart of accounts and class. To get any meaningful analysis requires building out your chart of accounts and then exporting data to spreadsheets for filtering.
• There’s no consolidation for multiple entities—you need a separate QuickBooks file for each entity. For a consolidated view, you have to pull reports for each of these files and then consolidate them in Excel for analysis.
• You’re trapped by limited functionality. For example, with no advanced processes for revenue recognition, you have no visibility into your future cash position.
