COSMOLEX VS. QuickBooks

CosmoLex vs. QuickBooks®

QuickBooks is an accounting software solution that’s designed for businesses of any size from any industry.   

While many legal professionals choose to use QuickBooks for their accounting needs, it’s important to remember that a generic software solution might not be the best choice when it comes to keeping your firm compliant with local regulations and supporting your law firm with critical legal practice management needs. 

With that in mind, we’ve created this side-by-side comparison of CosmoLex and QuickBooks to give legal professionals a hand with making the right choice for their firms.

CosmoLex Wins Over QuickBooks

QuickBooks is the Past, CosmoLex is the Future 

Productivity
Enjoy comprehensive, modern technology.
With end-to-end software for matter management, full firm accounting, invoicing, payments, document management, and more, CosmoLex offers everything you need to run your practice.
Flexibility
Reduce overhead.
Access the only fully built-in matter management and accounting solution for law firms. CosmoLex’s browser-based software provides the ultimate flexibility for your practice and guaranteed uptime.
Integrations
Popular integrations 
for efficiency.
Your preferred integrations for email, like Outlook, Gmail, and Apple Mail, as well as document creation and storage, such as Dropbox, OneDrive, NetDocuments are all incorporated into CosmoLex’s software. 
QuickBooks
Productivity
Lacking functionality.
Don’t pay for QuickBooks software that lacks in functionality, such as unlimited document storage, expense tracking, and eSignatures. This limits your productivity and the service you provide for your clients. 
Flexibility
Extra implementation and maintenance costs.
Without web-hosting technology such as CosmoLex, law firms have exorbitant overhead costs, such as server implementation and maintenance. Your data is also susceptible to security breaches if not hosted through AWS.
Integrations
Double the effort.
Don’t get stuck in the middle of your software and your tools – QuickBooks lacks in communicating with key integrations so that you are caught doing admin work that double the effort.
