For the books, QuickBooks Online Plus at $140 a month, cut to $70 for the first three months, covers job costing and sales tax.

QuickBooks Online runs a dedicated Sales Tax feature from Plus up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Does SimplyWise Cost Estimator replace accounting software for a plumbing business?<\/summary>\n<div>\n<p>No. It is $29.99\/mo, or $239.99\/yr, with a 7-day free trial.
