Why Australian Businesses Are Switching

QuickBooks is a global platform with solid features, but it's fundamentally designed for the US market. Many Australian businesses find themselves working around its limitations. Here's why they're choosing ORCA:

🏠 Built for Australia

QuickBooks adapts their US product for Australia. ORCA is designed from the ground up for Australian businesses, regulations, and the way we work. No more feeling like an afterthought.

💰 Better Value, No Games

At $19/month all-inclusive, ORCA costs less than QuickBooks' comparable plans (starting at $33/month) and doesn't lock essential features behind higher tiers or charge for multiple users.

🎯 All-in-One Solution

QuickBooks focuses on accounting. ORCA includes job management, client portals, and project tracking as standard - perfect for tradies, freelancers, and service businesses.

📞 Real Australian Support

Get help from Australians who understand Australian business challenges, not offshore call centers reading from scripts or AI chatbots that don't understand local context.

⚡ Simple & Intuitive

QuickBooks can feel overwhelming with features you'll never use. ORCA focuses on what Australian small businesses actually need, with an interface that makes sense from day one.

🔒 Australian Data Sovereignty

Your data stays in Australia, managed by an Australian company. No worrying about US data laws or international data transfers.
