How is ZipBooks different than Quickbooks?

Share QuickBooks, MS Access, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. Edit working files in Qbox and sync to all shared users automatically. Qbox locks the file for you to protect your changes. Share QuickBooks Attachments. Share PDF, DOC, XLS, JPG, PNG and other types of files as QuickBooks Attachments or as separate documents.

ZipBooks was formed with small business owners in mind, not just accountants. Because of that vision, we think ZipBooks offers a more streamlined interface, more intuitive reporting, and more visually appealing workflows. In short, it's simple to use -- and though it's capable of doing accounting for high-revenue businesses, the heavy lifting stays behind the scenes.

Do I download or install anything?

Nope. ZipBooks is 100% 'in the cloud.' That means you can log on any time, from any device, and all of your data stays in sync no matter what. All you need to do is sign up, and ZipBooks will be ready to go to work for you! If you're interested in desktop software, see our review of Quickbooks 2019 desktop products.

Will my bookkeeper or CPA work with ZipBooks?

Tons of bookkeepers and accountants work inside ZipBooks every day. We think it will be a great experience for them, and ZipBooks makes it easy to control permissions and share files. We also offer a bookkeeping service for those who don't have a bookkeeper they're already working with and don't want to do the bookkeeping themselves.
