Intuit has outlined plans for QuickBooks Solopreneur. The software company did not provide a date other than “coming soon”.
Solopreneuer will have access to QuickBooks Live Tax so users can have access to tax professionals and those using QB Online Accountant will be able to add Solopreneuer for their clients.
The software is designed for one-person businesses (Schedule C filers), whose business is their primary source of income. The new edition differs from QB Self-Employed in that is designed for owners who prefer to manage their own day-to-day books.
Solopreneur has single-entry bookkeeping on the front end, but uses double-entry bookkeeping in the background.
Transaction management tools automatically separate business and personal transactions using predetermined categories.
Solopreneur has features that can be used on a mobile device, including mileage tracking.
