About this app
The QuickBooks mobile app is the on-the-go side of Intuit's small-business accounting service, for owners and self-employed people who do bookkeeping between jobs rather than at a desk. Invoices can be created and sent from the phone, with online payment built in, and Siri can draft them by voice. Receipts, business cards and handwritten notes are captured by camera and their details pulled into the books. Card and digital wallet payments can be accepted directly, syncing to the ledger automatically. The phone's GPS tracks mileage for tax deductions, with trips categorised in a tap. Reports include projected cash flow and custom views that drill down to the individual transaction, and an Intuit Intelligence chat (in beta) can set up automations from plain-language instructions. It's subscription-based and doesn't work with the Desktop editions of QuickBooks on Windows or Mac.
Intuit QuickBooks for Business: the full guide
What the app is
This is the phone-sized end of Intuit's small-business accounting service, built for owners who do the books in the van between jobs. It extends the main QuickBooks Online account rather than replacing it: invoices are written and dispatched from the phone with online payment attached, and Siri can draft one by voice.
The camera does a lot of the work. Photograph a receipt, a business card or a handwritten note and the details land in the ledger. Card and wallet payments can be taken on the spot, GPS logs mileage for tax time, and reports include projected cash flow. An Intuit Intelligence chat, in beta, builds automations from plain instructions.
How it works day to day
A plumber finishes a job, opens the app and sends the invoice before pulling away, with the customer paying by card there and then. Driving to the next call, mileage is logged automatically and categorised later with a tap. A lunch receipt gets photographed and binned. At the end of the week the cash flow projection shows whether next month looks tight, and a custom report drills down to the one transaction that doesn't look right. Nothing here is designed for a long desk session; it's five-minute interactions, many times a day.
Why people look for it
Existing QuickBooks Online subscribers are the obvious searchers, since the app is the mobile half of a service they already pay for. Self-employed people shopping for their first proper bookkeeping system also land here because of the Intuit name, and the mileage and receipt capture promise to recover deductions that otherwise vanish in the glove box.
Look and feel
Business apps from large vendors favour white space, a single accent colour and dashboard cards with a couple of headline numbers, and QuickBooks is unlikely to depart from that across its five screenshots: a dashboard, an invoice, probably the receipt camera and a mileage view. It's a utility, not a showpiece, and reads like one.
