Field Stash vs just using QuickBooks
QuickBooks is where a lot of painting businesses live - invoices, payments, and the books. But QuickBooks is an accounting tool, not a way to run painting sales and jobs: there's no pipeline, no proposals, no scheduling, no estimating built for painting, and no way to answer a call or capture a lead. Field Stash runs all of that and syncs to QuickBooks - so you keep your books where they are and stop running the rest of the business on spreadsheets.

Where QuickBooks has the edge
- It's a full accounting system - the system of record for your books, taxes, and financial reporting.
- Deep bookkeeping and reporting no CRM should try to replicate - which is why Field Stash syncs to it instead of replacing it.
The pricing difference
Field Stash
One flat plan, unlimited users, everything to run painting sales and jobs - and it syncs invoices and payments to your QuickBooks.
QuickBooks
QuickBooks is priced for accounting and does that job well. But running your pipeline, proposals, scheduling, and field work on top of it means spreadsheets and manual re-entry - or a second tool. Field Stash is that tool, and it feeds QuickBooks automatically.
Field Stash complements QuickBooks - keep your books where they are and add the CRM, estimating, and field tools QuickBooks doesn't provide.
Questions
No. Keep QuickBooks for your accounting. Field Stash runs your sales, proposals, scheduling, and field work, and syncs invoices and payments to QuickBooks so your books stay current.
