Why Multiple QuickBooks Tabs Are a Game-Changer
One of the biggest frustrations with QuickBooks Online is that it only lets you work in one tab at a time. If you need to cross-check reports while entering expenses, you’re stuck clicking back and forth. Want to look up a customer balance while processing invoices? Too bad—you have to navigate away from what you’re doing and risk losing progress. This limitation slows down workflows and makes simple tasks take far longer than they should.
With RightTool, you can open multiple QuickBooks tabs at once, with no restrictions, no slow reloads, and no wasted time. You can compare reports side by side without losing your place, keep customer or vendor details open while processing transactions, and move through tasks seamlessly without the constant frustration of reloading pages.
The best part? It’s completely free to use!
