Accounting only

QuickBooks is accounting software from Intuit, a US financial software company. It comes as QuickBooks Online, a cloud subscription sold in plans, and QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise, installed software for larger businesses.

QuickBooks is well known for small business bookkeeping and is familiar to many accountants. Inventory, manufacturing and other operations are limited and often handled by separate add-on apps. Intuit closed QuickBooks Online in India in 2023, so Indian businesses on it had to move.

Odoo vs QuickBooks: Common Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most from businesses moving from QuickBooks to Odoo.

Is Odoo better than QuickBooks?

For growing businesses, yes. QuickBooks is built for bookkeeping. Odoo gives you full accounting plus sales, CRM, inventory, manufacturing, website and HR in one system, so you do not need to add and link separate apps as you grow.

What is the best QuickBooks alternative?

Odoo. Its Accounting app covers invoicing, bills, bank reconciliation and financial reports, and the same database also runs your stock, sales and operations. You can start with accounting and add apps when you need them.

Odoo vs QuickBooks: which is better for a small business?

Odoo. You can start small with the apps you need, run on Odoo Online without servers, and add inventory, CRM or eCommerce later without changing systems. With QuickBooks, each new need usually means another add-on and another integration.

Is QuickBooks available in India?

Intuit closed QuickBooks Online in India in 2023, so Indian businesses on it had to move. Odoo is a strong replacement, with an India localization that supports GST returns including GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, e-invoicing with IRN and QR code, e-way bills, and TDS and TCS.

Does Odoo handle inventory better than QuickBooks?

Yes. Odoo Inventory supports multiple warehouses, barcode scanning, routes, lots and serial numbers, and stock valuation that posts straight to accounting. Odoo Manufacturing adds bills of materials and work orders on the same database.

How do you migrate from QuickBooks to Odoo?

We map your chart of accounts, customers, vendors, products and open balances, configure Odoo, then move your data and the history you need. Every load is tested on a copy before go-live. See our Odoo migration services for details.

Will my accountant be able to use Odoo?

Yes. Odoo Accounting uses standard double-entry accounting, journals and reports, and accountants can be given their own access. We train your finance team and accountant as part of our Odoo implementation.
