QuickBooks Solopreneur review

QuickBooks Solopreneur is Intuit's answer to the one-person business, and Intuit says plainly that it trades team and inventory features for automated transaction sorting and tax readiness. That trade suits most freelancers. The software sorts expenses to help with Schedule C deductions, the mobile app logs miles with the phone's GPS and captures receipts, and invoices can be paid by card, ACH, Apple Pay, PayPal or Venmo. The Free plan is real but tight: 2 invoices, 2 receipt uploads and 5 mileage trips a month, plus the profit and loss and balance sheet reports. Lite at $20 per month at list price lifts those caps, adds automated sales tax, bill pay and 3 contractors, and connects to Expert Assisted Tax through TurboTax, which you pay for only when you file. The catch is that accountant access starts on Simple Start at $38, so freelancers who work with a bookkeeper should price that tier instead.
