/EINPresswire.com/ -- VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - May 11, 2017) - As a team of chartered professional accountants based in Vancouver, Mew + Company recently released a blog aimed at small businesses wondering if they should move to Cloud-based Quickbooks, also known as QBO.

Cloud-based Quickbooks has made great strides in the past few years. Desktop Quickbooks was the top choice for many small businesses for years before QBO came into existence. Easy to use and cost effective, Quickbooks provided superior reports. However, the problem was the clumsiness that came with file sharing. A subsequent version that allowed the business to move forward while the accountant worked on year-end solved this problem, but still had its limitations.

On the other hand, QBO has empowered three main stakeholders -- the business owner, the bookkeeper, and the external accountant. With QBO, bookkeepers can update the accounting file more frequently and with minimum physical limitations. This ultimately leads to more timely financial reporting and lower costs for business owners.

Before making the leap to QBO, there are pros and cons to take into consideration. Business owners need to ensure that the pros will solve the existing drawbacks of QB, and that the cons are manageable. If a jump to QBO is a mistake, converting back to QB is neither simple nor economical.

The blog contains a list of pro and con arguments. Most notably, some of the cons include an inadequate audit trail, availability of only simple functions, and delayed response times.

QBO, the blog concludes, is adequate for simple businesses where robust reporting is not critical or mandatory. Although navigation, inputting, and reporting functions can be more time consuming under QBO, the extra costs are usually offset by the various benefits offered by the cloud-based software.
