FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Vuuv is designed specifically for freelancers, small businesses, and real estate investors who aren't accountants. QuickBooks is powerful but built for full double-entry accounting, which can be overwhelming. Vuuv focuses on what you actually need: tracking income/expenses, generating tax reports, and getting paid.

QuickBooks targets businesses of all sizes and includes features most small businesses don't need (inventory, advanced reporting, etc.). Vuuv focuses on the essentials for freelancers and real estate investors, keeping costs low. Our free tier lets you get started without any credit card.

Absolutely! You can invite your accountant with their own login, and Vuuv generates industry-standard reports (P&L, Schedule C, Schedule E) that any accountant can work with. You can also export to CSV for import into their preferred software.

Yes! Vuuv generates Schedule C (self-employment), Schedule E (rental income), 1099-NEC forms, mileage logs, and a complete Year-End Tax Packet that includes everything your CPA needs. We also have a tax calculator that shows estimated taxes and what-if scenarios.

Yes! Export your QuickBooks data as a CSV file and import it into Vuuv. Our import wizard helps map your accounts and categories. Most users are up and running within an hour.

Yes! Unlike QuickBooks (which requires workarounds for real estate), Vuuv has built-in property tracking, tenant management, lease tracking, rent collection, MACRS depreciation, 1031 exchange tracking, and Schedule E reports. It's purpose-built for landlords.
