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.
