Housecall Pro vs QuickBooks: How Are They Different?

What features does Housecall Pro have?

Housecall Pro has features that help you book field service jobs, manage client and job details, and collect payment for your work. Service professionals use Housecall Pro on-site and at the office to manage their daily operations.

Here are some of the main features that Housecall Pro offers:

• Estimates: Create customizable estimates that you can convert into jobs and invoices
• Scheduling: Schedule new and recurring jobs in a drag and drop calendar
• Dispatching: Track field technicians, send scheduling updates, and notify customers about upcoming visits 
• Invoicing: Generate invoices from professional templates and send automatic payment reminders
• Payroll: Pay your employees, give them self-serve access to pay stubs, and file payroll taxes

What features does QuickBooks have?

QuickBooks has features that help business owners and bookkeepers with income and expense tracking, payroll, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and financial reporting.

QuickBooks offers a cloud-based solution (QuickBooks Online) and a version you can install and store on your computer (QuickBooks Desktop).

Here are features that make QuickBooks different from Housecall Pro:

• Bank reconciliation: Accurate bank matching keeps data consistent between QuickBooks and your business bank account. QuickBooks also helps you find discrepancies between your bank and your records and generates reconciliation reports.
• Comprehensive accounting: Track bills, receipts, income, bank transactions, and inventory in one place—and keep a detailed log of all your financial data for simplified bookkeeping.
• Inventory management: Set inventory management rules, wholesale or purchase prices, and minimum re-order levels to keep your stock full.

Does Housecall Pro connect with QuickBooks?

Housecall Pro has a QuickBooks integration that lets you import invoices, payments, customer information, and your services to QuickBooks.

When you use Jobber as your field service software, you’ll deliver a more convenient customer experience by giving clients access to a 24/7 self-serve portal where they can request work, approve quotes, and pay invoices online.

Those quick and easy customer payments will automatically sync to QuickBooks Online, saving you time from manual entry.

To help you get the most of your accounting and field service management tools, Jobber offers 24/7 phone, email, and live chat support any time—so you don’t have to figure things out alone after you set up the integration.
