Is QuickBooks Enterprise Worth the Hype (and the Price)?

QuickBooks Enterprise is making waves in the accounting service world, especially for small businesses juggling multiple entities. The standout feature? Intercompany transfers—finally, a way to move money between files without spreadsheets and silent screaming. But before you jump in, let’s talk dollars and sense. 

The Price Tag Reality Check 

Enterprise isn’t shy about its price. Expect your monthly fee to double or even triple. That’s a lot of bookkeeping budget for a feature that might only be used occasionally. Many of the “new” tools—like built in payroll, integrated Payments the enhanced bank feed—already exist in QuickBooks Online (QBO), and let’s be honest, they don’t always work as advertised. 

Who Should Consider It? 

If you’re a non-profit or small business managing four or more separate QuickBooks accounts (separate company files) with frequent fund mingling, Enterprise might be your new best friend. But if your intercompany transactions are more “occasional fling” than “serious relationship,” consider JustConsolidate. It’s a simple, effective alternative at just \$15/month + \$5 per connected company. That’s outsourcing accounting without outsourcing your sanity.
