QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) was Intuit's answer for freelancers and gig workers — but it has been discontinued in favor of pushing users to QuickBooks Online, which starts at $30/month. If you used QBSE or are looking for a simple self-employed tracker, YourProfitBook picks up where QBSE left off, at a lower price.
⚠️ Sound Familiar?
If any of these hit home, you're not alone — and there's a better way.
QuickBooks Self-Employed was discontinued — existing users pushed to QB Online at $30/mo
QBSE relied on bank feeds that often miscategorized transactions
TurboTax integration was convenient but locked you into Intuit's ecosystem
No real P&L dashboard — just a tax summary view
✅ The Solution
Simple tools built for real business owners — not accountants.
Purpose-built for self-employed: income, expenses, deductions, and profit
No product discontinuation risk — YourProfitBook is our core product, not a side feature
Tax Estimate tool for quarterly planning without a TurboTax requirement
Pro plan at $9.99/mo — 70% less than QB Online Simple Start
How It Works
Create your account in under 30 seconds — no credit card required.
Log income and expenses manually or upload receipts for automatic extraction.
Your dashboard updates instantly — P&L reports, trends, and insights on demand.
📊 What You Get
Like QBSE, YourProfitBook tracks income and expenses, categorizes deductions, estimates quarterly taxes, and scans receipts. Unlike QBSE, we do not sunset products or push you to a $30/month plan you do not need. The interface is owner-friendly: log income, log expenses, see profit. No bank-feed dependency. No TurboTax upsell. Invoicing, receipt scanning, and tax estimation are included on paid plans — not sold as separate add-ons.
See income, expenses, and profit update in real time
Spot patterns across weeks, months, and quarters
Export clean reports for your accountant at tax time
Start tracking profit in under a minute — no learning curve
💡 Real-World Example
Grace drove for a rideshare service and used QBSE to track mileage, gas, and income. When Intuit discontinued QBSE, she was pushed to QB Online Simple Start at $30/month — triple her cost. She switched to YourProfitBook Pro at $9.99/month. She logs rideshare income weekly, categorizes mileage, gas, and car maintenance as deductions, and uses the Tax Estimate tool each quarter. She saves $240/year and gets a cleaner profit view.
