How to Switch From QuickBooks to BlissNeat (Without Disrupting Your Team)
Why Managers Switch From QuickBooks
Managers switch from QuickBooks to BlissNeat because they save 4+ hours/week on receipt approvals, which translates to $10,900/year. Contrary to popular belief, accounting-first solutions like QuickBooks are not the best fit for expense management.
QuickBooks is designed for accounting, not expense management. This results in a clunky user experience for managers, leading to wasted time and resources.
- QuickBooks requires manual data entry, which is prone to errors and time-consuming.
- QuickBooks lacks AI-powered expense management, making it difficult for managers to track and approve expenses efficiently.
- QuickBooks has limited offline capabilities, making it difficult for teams to manage expenses on-the-go.
What to Export Before You Leave QuickBooks
Before switching from QuickBooks to BlissNeat, managers need to export the following data:
- Employee list: export a list of all employees, including their names, email addresses, and job titles.
- Expense history: export a record of all expenses, including dates, amounts, and categories.
- Vendor list: export a list of all vendors, including their names, addresses, and contact information.
- Accounting data: export all accounting data, including invoices, payments, and balances.
Surprisingly, most managers underestimate the importance of exporting their vendor list, which can lead to delayed payments and strained relationships with vendors.
