QuickBooks Pro does not allow remote access. Only QuickBooks Premier offers a remote access feature. However, even with this service, only one user at a time may take control over one remote computer. A user must be physically present at each computer to set up a session. It may work for training demos or financial presentations but unsatisfactory for telecommuting or outsourced bookkeeping.

Mostly yes, Welcome Networks' Cloud is compatible with most programs that can connect with QuickBooks via the QuickBooks Web Connector. But there is thousands of different add-ons available that integrate with QuickBooks and unfortunately there is no set standard for how they are designed to sync or integrate with QuickBooks. Our redundant hosting environment is fully compatible with all applications that can sync with QuickBooks via the QuickBooks Web Connector, Intuit Sync Manager or IIF import/export. The Intuit Sync Manager is built into QuickBooks and allows all applications available in the Intuit App Center to sync with QuickBooks in our hosted environment.
Some of the applications currently available in the cloud include:

If you are a QuickBooks ProAdvisor and Intuit Solution Provider, you can use our infrastructure at Welcome Networks' Cloud to host QuickBooks for your clients. Self-hosting is expensive and can cost you thousands of dollars for new hardware and software, updates, and a larger IT staff to maintain and troubleshoot your system problems. Even after so much expense, it will be hard for you to ensure the security, redundancy, agility and performance that we can deliver for your clients from our infrastructure for a fraction of the cost.
Welcome Networks' Cloud hosting services includes:
We can bill you or your client based on your preference. You can pass these charges along to your clients or not - whatever is most appropriate for your accounting practice.
You can also use our free tools like shadowing to instantly help your clients answer a question or provide any tutorials.
If you need other programs or need an add-on that is not compatible with our redundant hosting environment, you should look into the option of having a private cloud for your business. We can set that up for you for a one-time setup fee and an additional monthly fee. Please contact us and we will suggest an appropriate solution based on your needs.

No, we don't. We are an expert IT services provider and provide only services. You must own a legal copy of Intuit's QuickBooks.

QuickBooks Online does not offer the full functionality of Intuit's QuickBooks desktop versions (Pro, Premier or Enterprise) and it is a watered-down version of the powerful accounting software and somewhat different program to learn and navigate than the desktop editions.
We only host full desktop versions of QuickBooks with full features including the ability to do inventory, grouping, and other features only included in the full desktop versions.
For companies with multiple QuickBooks files, we are a very cost effective alternative to QuickBooks Online because we charge per user instead of per file like QuickBooks Online charges.
Some features that are not available in QuickBooks Online are below:
▶
If you are running Canadian or UK QuickBooks and need Payroll, please note that payroll requires a dedicated Server so you should contact us for your private cloud setup.
