Bookkeepers On Fire with Deb & Donna

šŸ’„ Thinking of downgrading from QBO Plus to Simple Start?

Before you hit that button and call it "cost-saving," letā€™s have a real chat. Because what you save in dollars, you will pay for in chaos. šŸ˜¬

Hereā€™s what you really need to know:

šŸ”» Features donā€™t disappearā€¦ they vanish
Classes, locations, multiple users, robust reportingā€”poof! Gone. If you use them even once, Simple Start isnā€™t so simple.

šŸ‘¤ Primary admin matters
One user. One login. If the wrong person is set as admin, you're in for a support nightmare. Ask me how I know. šŸ˜…

šŸ’ø Cheap tools = expensive mess
You wouldnā€™t build a house with a spoon. Donā€™t run your business with the bare minimum. šŸ’ā€ā™€ļøšŸ“‰

šŸ‘‰ Bottom line: Talk to your clients. Show them the real cost of being penny wise and feature foolish. And if they still insistā€¦ well, tell them paper and pencil is free. šŸ“šŸ˜‰
