EmLedger vs QuickBooks

QuickBooks Online prices every company as its own subscription. A single QuickBooks Plus file is about $115/month, so an operator with five LLCs is paying roughly $575/month — and ten companies runs about $1,150/month — before payroll or add-ons. EmLedger replaces that per-company math with tier pricing: one Growth plan covers up to 15 entities for $129/month, so your bill stops climbing every time you register a new entity. The savings widen as you grow — at ten companies, EmLedger's Growth plan costs about 89% less than ten QuickBooks Plus subscriptions.

Price is only half the story. QuickBooks Online keeps each company in a separate file, so seeing the whole picture means logging in and out of accounts and rebuilding combined numbers in a spreadsheet. EmLedger keeps every entity under one login, switches between them in a click, and produces a consolidated P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow across all of them. Inter-company transactions and their eliminations are tracked automatically instead of reconciled by hand — the work most multi-entity teams currently do in Excel.

Switching from QuickBooks Online is a guided import, not a rebuild. EmLedger brings over your chart of accounts, customers, vendors, and historical transactions, and the migration team helps map several QuickBooks files into separate EmLedger entities when you're consolidating. Most moves take one to three days depending on entity count and history, and EmLedger keeps the features you rely on — invoicing, bills, bank reconciliation, inventory, fixed assets, budgeting, and 1099 tracking — so day-to-day bookkeeping feels familiar from the first login.
