With today’s introduction of QuickBooks
Online for iPad, small businesses that are mobile by nature will no
longer have to save the books for last. Rather, they can get more out of
their workdays with an app that helps them work more productively,
wherever they are.
“As a wedding planner, I spend 70 percent of my time away from my desk
meeting with clients and vendors. At the end of the day, I used to sort
through my meeting notes, map out next steps, track payments and
expenses, and follow up with invoices,” said Sadie Waddington of Locally
Grown Weddings in San Francisco, Calif. “Now, I save time by
catching up on accounting during the four hours I commute on public
transit each week using QuickBooks Online for iPad. The app also helps
keep me more organized and look more professional in front of my clients
and vendors.”
Now available in the App Store℠, QuickBooks Online for iPad brings the world’s
No. 1 small business cloud accounting solution to one of the world’s
fastest-growing computing devices. It packages the most useful on-the-go
business tasks in an easy-to-use, friendly app with a native iPad
experience, including integration with the Camera, Contacts, Push
Notifications and Location Services.
“Managing a small business is a different game today than it was a few
years ago, due in large part to the proliferation of smartphones and
tablets,” said Dan Wernikoff, senior vice president and general manager
of Intuit’s Financial Management Solutions division. “We found that more
than 20 percent of QuickBooks
Mobile for iPhone users access the app through iPads. And, customers
like Sadie told us they need more than mobile point solutions – they
need an all-in-one app that lets them work in a whole new way, and
that’s what we created.”
