# What is the best accounting software for a small business?

I only have experience with Quickbooks.  Are there any other comparable solutions?  Either cloud or on-premise.

I've seen many small local software developers create a few ERPs or similars, nothing world-class, but most SMB will rely on Excel or anything Excel / Access based. SAP1 seems good enough though customization can be costly.

If you're looking for a product that comes alongside QuickBooks, you should check out Qbox!

It has been our discovery that many people would love to have the cloud provide a resource for them rather than having the cloud dictate their life. Based on the increased cost, reliance on the internet speed/connection/web server reliability and in some cases, reduced functionality, many people we encounter are opposed to moving their financial data completely to the cloud. That doesn't mean cloud hosted solutions are bad, it just means they would like an alternative. 

With Qbox, they continue to work on a locally hosted copy and keep the desktop version of QuickBooks that they are familiar with. Additionally, while working in the file, they are not subject to the speed (or lack thereof) of their internet connection. The internet/cloud is not involved until they are done working in the file and the sync/backup process initiates. (happens automatically) 

In fact, while working in the file, their internet can go down completely and they are still able to continue working in the file. 

In other words, Qbox integrates the best attributes of the cloud without really changing how they work on their financials.
