Which accounting software should I use?
“What is the best accounting software to use with Miracle Service?” is something we get asked a lot. The size and scope of your business should affect the accounting software you choose, but most of our customers use either QuickBooks (desktop) or QuickBooks Online which runs in a browser. Both of these are great choices because QuickBooks is still a very popular app, and Miracle Service works very well with both of them.
Key Differences Between QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop
Many of the basic features of both QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online are the same. However, there are some differences between them that you need to know about to make sure the one you pick will work for your business.
In terms of Miracle Service features, here’s what makes them different:

Tax meters or ability to use the “Contract Percentage Tax” feature for Period Billing contracts. To check if this is enabled in your Miracle Service go to Miracle Service Administration > 9. Equipment & Contracts > Contract Templates Edit > Contract Tax Info > Use Contract Percent Tax checkbox. In Miracle Service Administration, go to 9. Equipment & Contracts > Contract Templates Edit > Contract Tax Info > Use Contract Percent Tax. This will let you know if this feature is turned on for your service. |
We will keep adding to Miracle Service’s QuickBooks Online integration as Intuit keeps adding new features.
How to Pick the Best Accounting Software for Your Company
The desktop and online versions of both are very good accounting programs, and you can choose from a range of features and prices for each. The best one for your business will depend on the size, type, and needs of your business. Your accountant can help you figure that out.
