Custom built payroll
QuickBooks payroll services are offered by a third party application called KeyPay. Whereas Reckon One’s payroll functionality is custom built in-house, so you can be confident it integrates seamlessly with your accounting. Plus, once your subscription term end you could be vulnerable to pricing changes from the third party that are out of QuickBooks control.
