The winning combination was Quickbooks Desktop and Entriwise, but each business may have differing needs. This allows us to continue to leverage our cloud process best practices with a desktop app. Additionally, we found that tools like Dext Prepare, which we recommend for expense tracking, are compatible with Quickbooks Desktop. With cloud hosting, we’re able to reap many benefits of QBO including its accessibility. To alleviate some of the challenges common with desktop tools – and key reasons for us to recommend cloud solutions – we decided to host this instance in the cloud using Microsoft Azure. Though we rarely work with desktop solutions, inventory tracking was only available through Quickbooks Desktop (for now at least).

Once the requirements were set, we shortlisted 2 amazon accounting apps that might meet our client's needs:Ī2X is an eCommerce accounting app that posts Shopify, Amazon and Walmart sales and fees directly into QuickBooks or Xero.
