QuickBooks Online
Cloud accounting platform from Intuit covering invoicing, bank reconciliation, expense tracking, and financial reporting for small US businesses.
Vendor Lock-in
4.0 /5 composite score
The US benchmark for solo-firm accounting -- bank feeds, 100+ integrations, and a REST API make it the safest default; budget for Plus ($115/mo) if you need per-project profitability tracking, since Simple Start ($38/mo) caps you at one user with no project reporting.
