| Requirement | Arcaiva | QuickBooks Online — documented scope and checks |
|---|---|---|
| Bank connections | Connect your bank securely through Plaid. Live bank connections bring transactions into Arcaiva. Plaid handles bank authentication, so Arcaiva does not store your actual bank username or password. | QuickBooks Online documents automatic bank downloads; bank and account support must be checked. Pending transactions are excluded. |
| Transaction workflow | Live bank connections bring transactions into Arcaiva. | Downloaded bank transactions can be categorized or matched. Confirm the plan, bank and review workflow. |
| Categorization | AI handles transaction categorization as part of routine bookkeeping. | Suggestions based on prior categorization and configurable bank rules are documented. |
| Reconciliation | Arcaiva reconciles accounts as part of supported bookkeeping work. | Statement reconciliation produces a saved reconciliation report; confirm any optional AI workflow for the plan. |
| Bookkeeping automation | Arcaiva uses AI to handle supported day-to-day bookkeeping work and brings you in when your input or review is needed. | Which steps does the product perform, and which remain with your team? |
| Reporting | Current books and financial reporting help you understand the business. | Simple Start lists general business reports; Advanced documents deeper reporting. Compare the exact US plan. |
| Invoicing and receivables | Create invoices, signed adjustments and PDFs; see billed, collected, open and overdue amounts. | QuickBooks Online lists invoicing with QuickBooks Payments. Payment service terms and plan limits require separate review. |
| Pro formas | Create and issue a pro forma; convert an accepted one into a draft invoice for review/finalization. | How is a pro forma created and kept distinct from an invoice or receivable? |
| Human review | Arcaiva brings you in for information, clarification, approval or review when needed. | How are exceptions surfaced, and how does the user stay in control? |
| Company/entity capabilities | Individual company bookkeeping plus corporate/franchise visibility to review and audit downstream companies. | QuickBooks Online company files share a sign-in but have separate subscriptions and company data. Intuit Enterprise Suite is a separate offering. |

Compare recurring price, included users, company allowances and paid extras separately. Confirm bank-connection allowances for the plan you need.
Make the switch a separate decision
Confirm the current QuickBooks migration scope for your source system before planning a move. Check supported records, history, documents, validation and the cutover approach rather than assuming every item transfers.
Evaluate rather than assume a winner
Use your actual bookkeeping questions to judge fit. These questions do not assert that either product lacks automation, is universally easier or costs less.
