Comments on: Has FreshBooks Forced Intuit to Make Quickbooks Free? http://www.centernetworks.com/freshbooks-forcing-quickbooks-free Web 2 and Social Media News and Reviews Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:27:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Tom Markiewicz http://www.centernetworks.com/freshbooks-forcing-quickbooks-free#comment-17001 Tom Markiewicz Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-17001 Allen, I have to disagree though I really wish it were true. I still have had to use both Quickbooks and Freshbooks together. Freshbooks still does not do actual bookkeeping and manage multiple accounts like Quickbooks. I've yet to find a decent web-based replacement for Quickbooks, but instead I still have to fire up Parallels on my Mac and run it. From what I saw, the Simple Start product was much less features than the regular version. I'm inclined to think the objective was to introduce more small business Quickbooks and then up-sell them on the higher versions or more likely all the other services (including cc processing) they provide.
