I've had businesses that had almost the entirety of their bookkeeping automated, even though the staff had no access to Quickbooks. (for example, a scheduling or estimate app where an admin or service tech can submit a bill and have it automatically sync into Quickbooks). Depending on your company's scheduling and billing apps, utilizing some services that can integrate directly into QBO may offer enough time savings to justify the additional subscription. QBO tends to shine when you can integrate other apps into it.

Keeping in mind that management may not want the workers to have access to the companies books, so there is that to think of as well.

All those things might prove to be very effective, instead of needing to record on a sheet of paper, and enter it when returning to the office it can be done right there. With it, you can generate estimates, enter invoices, enter expenses, enter vehicle mileage, even accept payments. Since the company spends alot of time in your clients' home or building, it's worth noting that there is a mobile app for QBO. Its designed to be useful without needing to be a bookkeeper or accountant. In my opinion, QBO is designed to be extremely simple.
