Switch from QuickBooks
You need to track time, invoice clients, pay team members, and see profitability — with a general ledger that handles the accounting automatically. That's the whole job. We built it.
Every one of these is something QuickBooks can't do — or makes painfully hard.
QuickBooks charges per user
CherryWorks Pro includes unlimited users on every plan. A 15-person firm saves $2,000+/year in seat fees alone.
No payout tracking
Auto-created payouts when you send an invoice. Track ACH, Zelle, wire — and export 1099 totals at year end.
Weak project profitability
Revenue minus labor cost minus expense cost per project. Bill rate and cost rate per team member per project.
Not built for services firms
Purpose-built for agencies and consultancies managing 1099, W-2, and Corp-to-Corp teams in one platform.
Overcomplicated for what you need
QuickBooks is a general-purpose accounting tool. CherryWorks Pro is a focused operating system: time → invoice → collect → pay.
Timesheet approvals don't exist
Full Submit → Approve → Lock workflow. Approved hours lock automatically. Rejection with mandatory reasons. Audit trail.
