To run a successful business, you need to keep your finances in order. But let’s face it, most entrepreneurs didn’t start a business to become bookkeepers. That’s where tools like Cantant and QuickBooks come in.

Both platforms help you manage your inventory, invoices and receipts. They also track income, expenses, and sales, but they’re built for very different types of users.

  • QuickBooks is an accounting tool used by business owners and their Accountants or Bookkeepers. It is designed for users with strong accounting knowledge. It offers advanced capabilities, but requires expert training and assistance to navigate. 

  • Cantant, on the other hand, keeps things simple. It's built for business owners themselves. For business owners who are tired of reports, and just want clarity and straight-to-the-point answers on how to grow their business. This lets them focus more on growing their business and less on figuring out business accounting

To help you decide which tool is right for your business, we’ve broken down both Cantant and QuickBooks by the key features that matter most to business owners in the section below:
