What's in Global Office: Sync - Solo Edition

It's the same engine as the other two editions. The work of reading a document, proposing where it goes, waiting for you to approve it and sending it out to QuickBooks Online, Xero or FreshBooks isn't rewritten for each edition, so none of that is any different here. What an edition decides is how much the app has to ask you.

Receipts, Income, Utilities, Mileage, Quotes and Tax Docs, plus the Audit Trail.
All six Centers. Jobs, Spending, Earning, Mileage, Bills and Contact. None of them are cut.
Tax Docs holds what arrives, the 1099s that come to you. There are no subcontractors, so nothing goes out.
When standard mileage is used, every trip is valued at the IRS rate in force on the date it was driven. Not this year's rate. That day's rate.
Account Coverage. Connect a bank or card and it finds the charges with no receipt behind them.
A cost that's partly personal, like the phone or the laptop, carries a business percentage you set. The receipt keeps its full amount and the business share is worked out underneath. How it works.
Out to QuickBooks Online, Xero or FreshBooks, with the photograph attached, the same as the other two.
The connection to your bookkeeper. If somebody does your books once a year, connect them and your approved records reach them as copies, with the document attached.

Global Office: Sync - Solo Edition on a desktop, open on the Mileage ledger for The Guitar Nerd: a rail with only Receipts, Income, Utilities, Mileage, Tax Docs, Quotes and the Audit Trail, then the Jobs Center and Account Coverage, 2,690.7 miles for the year, and a 26.5 mile trip to Donnelly's selected with its route drawn on a map beside the list — Global Office: Sync - Solo Edition, the real screen. Six ledgers and the Audit Trail, and nothing about anybody working for you.

What's deliberately not in it, and why that makes it simpler

An edition isn't a smaller pile of features. It's a smaller set of questions. Every one of these is absent because it only makes sense for somebody who hires people or keeps books for other people, and being asked about it anyway is the thing that makes software tiring.

No certificates of insurance. Compliance exists so that a business can prove the people working for it were covered. There's nobody to hold a certificate for, so the ledger, the expiry rules and the chasing are all gone.
Nothing about 1099s going out. No W-9 collection, no threshold watching, no January deadline. The 1099s that come to you still get read and filed, because those are yours.
No chart of accounts, anywhere. You're never shown an account column and never asked to build a list. The matching to your accounting software's accounts happens on its own when the record is sent over.
No client switching. It's your business, so it never asks which business this is.
No dashboard and no client roster. It opens straight onto your ledgers. Anything that needs you, like a charge with no receipt or a record your bookkeeper declined, shows up in the Information Center.

Buying the small one first isn't a trap. Moving up from Global Office: Sync - Solo Edition to Global Office: Sync - Contractors Edition costs the $200 difference, and nothing else.

$297 once, and it's yours

Plus the Continuity Plan at $10 a month. You pay it outright. There's no twelve month payment plan, because $297 isn't a decision that needs financing. If you take somebody on later, moving up to Global Office: Sync - Contractors Edition costs the $200 difference.
