8 QuickBooks Online Apps To Run Your Company More Efficiently

If you want to increase productivity, you need automation and integrations to simplify workflows while still getting things done. 

If you are having a hard time deciding between the QuickBooks desktop and online versions, We have this list of online apps you can integrate directly with the Intuit QuickBooks accounting software to make your life easier.

Many of these apps are options you may already be using, Planergy included, and that’s all the more reason to connect them to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account. 

If you’re still relying on an Excel spreadsheet to track sales, you’re setting yourself up for a nightmare with your CPA when it comes time to file taxes.

Quickbooks Time is a wonderful app option for employee management. With it, you can manage your employee’s time and create timesheet reports while also tracking timesheets. It has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy for your staff to get on board with. 

You can even use it with remote workers so that they can be more productive. It offers scheduling and time tracking via a mobile app. Employees clock in or our with a single click, making it easier for them to take a break, change job codes, or add more timesheet details quickly.

You can use it as a standalone tracking system or alongside third-party payroll systems such as Gusto, Paychex, and ADP.
