And, @Maybelle_S - or anyone at Intuit that may by chance be listening - is there any update on making QB online actually functional at the basic (Simple Start) level? As it stands, it is little more than an Excel sheet with some buttons and colors for $30/month. No ability to bill expenses to a client without upgrading to "Essentials" at $55/month, which offers nothing additionally of benefit to a sole proprietor like myself? 

This is a brilliant way to lose long term (20+ years) customers like myself. Why not do the logical, simple thing and have "Simple Start" offer what one needs to run a small business - like billing customers - so they can grow and stay with QB as they do so? 

Thankfully, there are other, better options out there to choose from. I would like to stay with QB for ease, but am tired of being financially taken advantage of.
