IMO, I thought Quickbook was just accounting software.  If that's right, I doubt you need to have any interface (SecurityMetrics) between you and Quickbooks as they are not the ones you have to prove compliance to. 

AI says:
To prove PCI compliance, you typically fill out a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) or get a Report on Compliance (RoC), depending on your transaction volume, and submit it to your acquiring bank or payment brand; you'll also do scans and might need a QSA for higher levels, with the specific process determined by your payment processor and business type


Reading more looks like QB and SM are in bed together.....for a cost of course.  Looks kind of GRAY to me, but you can get some interesting comments found on the QB web site:

I don't take credit cards so Good Luck on your decision.
