QuickBooks is the choice for a business that wants bookkeeping, bank feeds, reports and its accountant in one system. Its free plan is limited and its paid plans are priced for full accounting. Jiffy does not do bookkeeping. It does quotes, invoices, payments and reminders, with signed quotes, 100 invoice languages and voice invoicing on Ultra. Need your books in one place? Stay with QuickBooks.

Questions
Switching from QuickBooks
Can I use Jiffy next to QuickBooks?
Yes. Plenty of people quote and invoice in Jiffy and keep their books elsewhere. On Pro and Ultra you export invoices, tax and costs for your accountant.
Does Jiffy do my taxes?
No. Jiffy shows the tax on every invoice and adds it up per quarter in the export, but filing stays with you or your accountant.
Can I keep using QuickBooks while I try Jiffy?
Yes. Jiffy has a Free plan with no end date, so you can run both side by side and switch when you are ready.
