Still, I did notice that compared to the offline accounting software that has many shortcuts and allows you to operate the software using the keyboard, QBO doesn't have the keyboard feature. The keyboard feature is missing in QBO, so you must use the mouse, which is an area for improvement in the tool. Another area for improvement is QBO support because issue resolution took longer.
