What is QuickBooks?
QuickBooks is a cloud-based accounting software suite from Intuit designed for small businesses, freelancers, and independent contractors. Beyond core bookkeeping—like invoicing, expense management, and payroll—it offers a built-in mileage tracking feature. Using your smartphone’s GPS or manual odometer entries, QuickBooks records each drive’s date, distance, and purpose, then categorizes trips for tax deduction or reimbursement. All financial and mileage data syncs securely across your account, so you can view consolidated reports and maintain audit-ready records in one place.
