QuickBooks and other bookkeeping software offer a tool to do your own bookkeeping. Heard is here to take the bookkeeping, taxes, and financial worries off your plate. When you sign up for our accounting services, we will take the work off your plate completely—which means you won’t need to use any other accounting software.
Why Heard built its own software
We built our own platform rather than relying on general bookkeeping tools, and that gives you a few things off-the-shelf software can't:
Seamless tax prep - Providing everything from bookkeeping to reporting to year-end tax support allows for a seamless integration of your entire financial life cycle. Our tax accountants have experience working with our technology.
Created for the private practice - Heard is built specifically for private practice businesses. This allows us to distill your bookkeeping into insights |specifc to your practice.
Saves you money and time - Because we are built for the private practice, we'll be able to serve you relevant information upfront, saving you money and time.
What this means for you
With QuickBooks or Wave, you're the bookkeeper, the reviewer, and the one preparing for taxes. With Heard, that work is handled for you, and the platform is shaped around the realities of running a practice.
Can I keep using QuickBooks or Wave alongside Heard?
You won't need to. Heard's accounting services cover your bookkeeping, reporting, and tax support, so a separate accounting tool isn't necessary once you're set up.
What happens at tax time?
Because your bookkeeping and tax support live in the same platform, your year-end tax prep draws directly from your books. Our tax team works in the same system your financials are already in.
