Switching from QuickBooks Online to FirmWorks
Keep invoicing, expense capture, and recurring billing. Get HR, projects, chat, notes, and boards in the same workspace — and Thai VAT/withholding tax built in by default.
What you keep
- Quotations, invoices, and receipts with multi-currency support and per-line tax treatment.
- Customer/contact records that flow onto every document.
- Recurring invoices and expense capture with receipt attachments.
What you gain
- Native HR module — employee directory, onboarding checklists, leave requests with manager approval.
- Projects, tasks, and kanban boards in one workspace, sharing the same contact records.
- Internal chat and a notes/wiki module — replace Slack and Notion alongside your accounting tool.
What’s better
Thai VAT and withholding tax, on by default
FirmWorks ships VAT (7%) and withholding-tax fields by default on every document — Thai tax IDs print automatically and recurring invoices keep the same tax treatment when they auto-issue. QuickBooks Online supports VAT but Thai-specific WHT typically requires custom fields, adjustment lines, or third-party add-ons. Data also lives in Singapore (ap-southeast-1), not US data centres.
