Quickbooks Online reviews

Excellent online software

Opmerkingen: I am very happy with this product. I use it for bookkeeping and my accountant reviews my entries at regular intervals.

Pluspunten:

It is easy to use and you can't do anything wrong. I am using this program for 4-5 years and never had any technical issues. Reporting is straightforward and I can see my financial situation at any time.

Minpunten:

I am a happy QuickBooks user and have nothing negative to report.

A Quick, QuickBooks Review

Opmerkingen: I found the program to be user-friendly and effective in managing their finances. I discovered Quickbooks Online as a Small Business owner & found that QuickBooks Online makes it simple to prepare and send expert invoices, track spending, and produce reports to aid in financial decision-making.The software's user-friendly interface and capacity for integration with other tools, such as payment processors or payroll systems, this was a huge valued to me. Users may also value the convenience of having access to the software from any location with an internet connection.

Pluspunten:

The Invoicing, Because it helpa users make invoices that increase professionalism, QuickBooks Online provides editable invoice templates, which is a huge help. Along with the ability for users can automate payment reminders and create recurring bills.

Minpunten:

There are reports online that some users have had problems with the software's customer service. While some customers say they have had good experiences with customer service, others say it can be difficult to get quick and efficient help when they run into problems with the software.

Navigationally challenging

Opmerkingen: I've used it reluctantly for years. See the Cons.

Pluspunten:

My CPA likes it, and so does my bookkeeper. It's good for generating various reports and keeping track of accounts payables and receivables, gross income, profits, etc. It's an industry standard for accounting types, so they will be happy you're using it.

Minpunten:

Quickbooks has been around forever, and I'm sure it's tricky—with so many users—to make any substantial changes to the navigation. Which is why, for example, there's a category at the top of the left nav that simply says "New." The items in there are a kitchen drawer of functions, and they've been the same for years, so I'm not sure how "new" they are. I go there almost every day to pay team member invoices, and I know that the "pay bills online" function that I need is in there. Have I ever tried to get to the same place from the left nav? Nope, not worth it. We actually use Avaza to create estimates, projects/tasks, and invoices, and it is one of the smoothest, most obvious programs I've ever used. It's the opposite of QuickBooks in that everything you need is on the left nav, and you always know where you are. Conversely, it's easy to get lost in QB, with nested menus and screens. Very un-intuitive. If you need something simple, this isn't it. If you have a CPA and bookkeeper doing your taxes for you, it may be worth the effort.

Fantastic cloud-based accounting solution for any size company

Opmerkingen: If you want a single spot to manage your finances, I can think of no better option than QuickBooks Online. There's no need to download or install any software, and they've been a frontrunner in the accounting software market for many years.

Pluspunten:

One of my clients right now utilizes QuickBooks Online to keep track of their finances and sellable goods. My own personal involvement with this system spans several years, and I am responsible for managing it from an administrative and deployment perspective.

Minpunten:

I'm hoping they'll upgrade their website to accept Schedule K forms soon. New users may find it difficult to get their bearings, depending on their familiarity with accounting software.

The top-rated accounting program for SMBs!

Opmerkingen: Since I'm also an accountant and bookkeeper for a few other small firms, I use it for their payroll and financial records as well. Regularly, I utilize the whole software for my company's payroll, time tracking, and accounting needs. To streamline accounting, I recommend that all of my customers switch to QuickBooks.

Pluspunten:

All of our financial records, including bookkeeping, accounting, payroll, and budgeting, are maintained in QuickBooks Online. The program's principal user is me, but I've also sent copies to the company's grant writer, accountant, treasurer, and auditor.

Minpunten:

Cleaning up the books is a fantastic idea in theory, but the execution fell well short of expectations. It would have been better if they had questioned my role in the organization more thoroughly before making the changes.

Small Brewery - Quickbooks Functions Well Enough For Now

Opmerkingen: It absolutely does what we need it to do, it's fairly simple to get started and the customer service is great, and I definitely don't expect that we will stop using it any time soon, but it's incredibly frustrating to have it be so difficult to integrate with our other programs.

Pluspunten:

A lot of what Quickbooks does for us is 80% set up in the program before you even go into it, so it's easy to just log in and start working on your books as needed. Overall, Quickbooks knows what businesses need to do in accounting to get by day-to-day, and it does that fairly well. Charts of accounts is nice to have and easy to create specific reports with customizable traits and we like that a lot.

Minpunten:

We use Square for our customer front, including running it as our P.O.S. system and running all of our transactions through Square, our invoicing, our inventory tracking, our employee payroll and scheduling, basically everything. I cannot stress enough how *horrible* the integration between Quickbooks and Square is. I literally have individual transactions coming through to QB, repeated transactions coming into QB, tips on bar tabs coming through as separate from their actual transactions, the bank account separates from the account at least quarterly, if not more, and a whole host of other issues. Most other things in QB run just fine, but if you're needing to integrate it with any other form of business software that you might be using to run your biz, then good luck. It just doesn't take to outside systems as well as I would expect it to for being one of the leading accounting softwares on the market, especially for small businesses.

Quickbooks Online - An Essential Tool for Small Video Production Companies

Opmerkingen: Our experience with Quickbooks Online has been overwhelmingly positive. The software has helped us to manage our finances more efficiently, and the ability to access our financial information from anywhere has been a game-changer for our team. We have been able to make better financial decisions thanks to the insights provided by Quickbooks Online.

Pluspunten:

Quickbooks Online offers a comprehensive suite of tools that streamline accounting processes, making it easy for small businesses to keep track of their finances. As the CEO of a small video production company, I found Quickbooks Online to be incredibly user-friendly, even for those with little to no accounting experience. The software provides a range of features, including invoicing, expense tracking, and bank reconciliation, which helped us to manage our finances more efficiently.

Minpunten:

While Quickbooks Online is a fantastic tool, it does have its limitations. One of the biggest drawbacks we found was the limited customization options for invoices and reports. As a creative company, we value the ability to customize our invoices to reflect our brand, and unfortunately, Quickbooks Online does not offer as much flexibility in this area as we would have liked.

It mostly does with you need with only minor annoyances

Opmerkingen: Overall, it's a great product to create and send invoices, manage the bookkeeping and accounting for the company, and run payroll. As long as we don't ask it to talk to other apps, it does a pretty good job.

Pluspunten:

The ability to access my company books from anywhere I can connect to the internet is very valuable. It's easy to invite the bookkeeper and the tax preparer to access the company books, and it's great to be able to give them access without having to create them log-ins like other staff.

Minpunten:

Most of the integration features don't work well. QBO as an independent accounting product works very well, and the bank feed connection works fairly well. Every other integration (like Quickbooks Time) is buggy and fails occasionally causing extra work to fix duplicates and add missing entries.

My favorite tool to manage my finances quickly and easily!

Opmerkingen: Overall, I'm very happy with Quickbooks Online and plan to continue using it in the future.

Pluspunten:

I have been using Quickbooks Online for my business for the past 2 years and I have to say that it has been a lifesaver! It makes it incredibly easy to manage my finances, and I love the fact that I can log in from anywhere, anytime. It also makes it really easy to generate reports and keep track of my expenses, which is incredibly helpful. I also love that I can set up automatic payments and invoices, and I can accept payments online.

Minpunten:

Looking forward to improvements with the Shopify integration.

Feature rich and very user-friendly bookkeeping solution.

Opmerkingen: Quickbooks online has helped us reduce the order-to-cash time from 15 days down to 3-5 days, this is a great benefit for small businesses like us where the quicker realisation of revenue is a definite win.

Pluspunten:

1. Easy to set up and start using2. Supports the Indian GST system3. Create Estimates and Invoices4. Integrate with third-party document signing software5. Integrate with payment gateway to receive payments seamlessly

Minpunten:

1. Limited customization options2. Reporting feature could be better

Overall a great choice for nonprofits

Opmerkingen: Overall I am very pleased by my experience with QBO. While I struggled with initial implementation, it has very much streamlined financial management once I figured out how to more efficiently utilize the software. The flexibility of using QBO through my browser of software download is an immensely important feature that I cannot overstate - since my position is volunteer/unpaid, if I ever leave the organization they cannot be tied to a software downloaded on my personal laptop. Plus its just nice to know that I have access anywhere I need, regardless.

Pluspunten:

QBO has made it so much easier to stay on top of finances for the nonprofit I work with. It's so nice to add bills for reimbursement of expenses to stay on top of when the expense occurred as well as when the reimbursement check was written vs deposited. Automatic linking to my bank account and to paypal is a lifesaver. I don't know what I would do without locations or being able to use classes for fund reporting/functional expenses.

Minpunten:

There was definitely a steep learning curve, and I've just had to accept that some of the transactions I was doing when I first started weren't done in the most 'ideal' way. I'm adding historical finances for 8 years and struggling with handling inventory in particular, since I'm both trying to keep up with current purchases/sales and build the historical financial statements. While the QBO online forum is generally helpful for troubleshooting issues, sometimes I run into features that just aren't available on QBO and only on QuickBooks desktop which is incredibly frustrating when I know how useful it would be.

QuickBooks Online for the win!

Opmerkingen: Overall my experience with QuickBooks online has been very positive. The pricing is fair. The system has incredible capability, and keeps all of our financial affairs in order.

Pluspunten:

I don’t think we would be able to run our business without QuickBooks. This software has allowed us to handle all aspects of accounting in-house. The best part is the help section which contains answers to just about any accounting questions we have ever run into.

Minpunten:

There’s a lot of features we don’t use that seem to be in the way while navigating through the program.

Quickbooks has made my practice

Opmerkingen: Overall this software has changed the face of my practice and how it operates. I was previously using Solar Desktop software but Quickbooks software has enabled me to be able to take on more clients, provide them with access to their accounts online, be able to confidently provide my clients with accurate training and support and it has also saved me a lot of time with some tasks such as bank reconciliations, entering transactions using bank feeds etc.

Pluspunten:

Initially, I really loved the fact that you could receive very in-depth free training from home and in a classroom environment. Also, the fact that Accountants receive a licence for free for their own practice. I like the entire 'look' of the software, it doesn't feel overly complicated and is very user friendly. The help files and online helpdesk are extremely useful. I like that I can restrict the permissions that my clients have in order to avoid any unwanted mistakes being made but do feel that the permissions need to be more tailorable. I really like having the ability to set up recurring invoices which minimises the amount of time I have to spend on monthly repeating invoices.

Minpunten:

I feel the permissions that you can set for individual clients is not restrictive enough - I would like to be able to enable clients to create their own sales invoices and purchase invoices but maybe restrict them from being able to delete them as this has caused many issues with some of my clients. Also, the system can be a bit 'glitchy' on occasion and the figures it sometimes produces on the trial balance report is not always accurate - usually the Sales figure is inaccurate for previous financial years which can be most frustrating. I also don't like that fact that, as a Quickbooks ProAdvisor, you cannot purchase any discounted bundles of licences. I also don't like the way you have to allocate a purchase credit note to the original purchase order - it is far too confusing and causes many errors by my clients.

QBO Accountant

Opmerkingen: Overall, I am happy with the product. they also have live chat now, and they can call you if you need to talk to someone. Customer service definitely is great improvement over the years. It is big for me because I refuse to work with any software company that I cannot talk to anyone (hint hint Zenefits). And most of the time they get it resolved over the chat. Recommended

Pluspunten:

Love the bank matching function, makes the bank reconciliation 10x better if you do it right. It's very easy to navigate the system, for beginners, it's the easiest system I used so far for them to pick up. Make sure if you set up, you don't use the simple cheapest version if you own a business tho, it's cheaper but the reporting is not as good as essential and above. I have implemented qbo for all my small clients that doesn't need a big system for POs

Minpunten:

I have mixed feeling about the auto categorization, some bookkeepers gets lazy and thinks it's correct and just click add, which half of the time can be wrong especially when it comes to use project and classes. it's a great function to make our lives easier, but also makes people lazier. I made sure to train my employees to not get lazy and check every transaction

Very user friendly and has everything in one place

Opmerkingen: My overall experience has been a great experience. I have been using it for years.

Pluspunten:

Quickbooks Online is very easy to use and has everything you need in one place. It keeps the flow of the business finances running smoothly. The invoicing, tracking of assets and expenses, providing reports, etc are all extremely easy to use and find and connect in a very simple way.

Minpunten:

There is nothing at this time that I like least about this software. It is much better than most bookkeeping programs I have used.

Excellent online bookkeeping software.

Opmerkingen: I love QuickBooks and this is the software of our choice for our practice.

Pluspunten:

The reporting side is the best on the market, with many dimensions of data available, more than e.g. Xero, with only two tracking categories. I also like the support, being able to speak to a person if needed. Also the discounting referral system is very good.

Minpunten:

VAT management and reconciliation can be quite tricky, as software often allows to change the previously submitted to HMRC data.

I LOVED THE OLDER VERSION. New version, not so much. So we switched.

Pluspunten:

Biggest Pro: This is built for robust accounting. The older version of Quickbooks online for Mac included an app. That app was key because the browser version often took a long time to load. I could get in, out , and be done in minutes. There was even a time tracking technology that was integrated at the time that was included in the package for free. It was great... and then it all changed.

Minpunten:

I don't love the new browser only experience. It wasn't as seamless as the app. The time tracking is now $$$.

Lesser of two evils

Pluspunten:

I am not an accounting professional but with a basic understanding of accounting principal, I have been able to use this software to organize my company for the last 10 years. I have made the switch in 2014 to the online version of it. It lets me to use the software anywhere including mobile device and I have been very happy with all the updates Intuit has been making last 3-4 years.

Minpunten:

Everything about customer service. As a long time user, I know the infamous reputation of Intuit at every level. This is one of the SO MANY experiences I had: I had one issue that persisted since 2014. It was a simple issue, but it also caused me some great inconvenience. So I had been contacting them every now and then and the issue was not resolved until recently in 2018. It turned out to be it was as simple as clearing cache. However, every time I called, I had to explain the situation as if it's never been recorded, follow their instruction to do the troubleshooting, then they were puzzled how that happened, and then say that 'someone' will follow up. And THAT NEVER HAPPENED. I got so fed up and had to be on the phone more than 4 hours to a point that the issue was escalated to the presidents' office. I was told that there was a glitch in the system that I had to move to a new account. As they moved my data to a new account, I found out that it won't move credit card or social security info. As I was preparing for the final move, I realized that they have been charging me double. I requested to refund or extend the membership, but they did it again - made me wait for 1-2 hours, told me that I'll speak to a floor manager, then just transfer to another dpt- ALL THE TACTICS TO DISCOURAGE TO find the solution for the issue. Finally, they 'concluded' not to extend the membership with an excused made up they cannot provide in written permission. NEVER HAD SUCH BAD EXPERIENCE.

Complicated

Opmerkingen: Overall I would say QuickBooks is more of a software made for people who don't know much about accounting. In that sense I would say it is very user friendly for those people. However when you put an accountant in front of this software my first questions were: "Where is accounts payable?" "Where is accounts receivable?" "Where is the general ledger?" These things just aren't marked that way. My first confusion was entering in invoices. Now usually this would be an expense but if you enter it in as an expense in QB it's really accounts receivable and you'll have to enter it in as a bill. Also one of the most confusing parts is keeping up with daily reports. Now I do understand that not every type of business needs to be doing this but in the hospitality business this is a requirement. This software makes it very easy to skip past a day and do other days and it will constantly change the "number" you had named the previous day. I find this slightly annoying and confusing. Sometimes I just don't remember what day I am on or what day I am missing simply because I can skip forward days (which can be nice). My overall opinion is slightly indifferent I would honestly rather only work with M3 only because QB runs slow. I think if it ran more smoothly I think I wouldn't mind working with it but it gives me a headache of how long stuff needs to load and get errors because it can't load all my properties at once.

Pluspunten:

What I liked most about this software was that you can connect the bank account to the property. This way it makes managing money and bank recons so much easier and faster. I also enjoy that I can easily delete and edit invoices or journal entries. This is sometimes a con as well. It all depends on if you know you won't accidentally click on something you shouldn't. I also like that I can easily enter in invoices and other things just by clicking on the + button.

Minpunten:

My least favorite thing about this software is that the longer it is up the slower it gets for me. I am not sure if this is just my problem but we do also use M3 (another accounting system) and it never slows down for me no matter how long it is up for or what I'm doing. Of course it will take some time to load your first selection but runs super smoothly after. I am very disappointed at how slow this software runs for me. I am also not a huge fan of the layout of invoices and checks written. Looks slightly disorganized in my view.

A little outdated, but still reliable software workhorse

Opmerkingen: There's not much I can say in addition to what I've said in the above sections. I've been using QuickBooks for around 10 years, both for my own business as well as when working for other small businesses in the past, and it's been both a joy and a pain in the butt at times. Overall, I'd still highly recommend QuickBooks as the go-to software for most businesses, because it's just so versatile and has a lot of great features. However, I'd highly recommend watching a few videos or even taking a class or two before using some of the more complex features. Otherwise, you're bound to make one small mistake that acts like a parasitic vine, weaving and entangling its way into the rest of your account features, and becoming a bit of pain to unravel.

Pluspunten:

Because QuickBooks has been around for so long, there are tons of resources for information regarding how to use the software most effectively, and how to troubleshoot particularly strange issues that may arise. I appreciate that QuickBooks can be used for a business of almost any size, whether you're running a small business from home, or a multi-million dollar per year construction company. There are plenty of options for things like inventory management, accounts payable/receivable, billing/invoicing, tax scheduling, etc. The options are nearly endless, and (most) of them are reasonable easy to figure out with a little experience and know-how.

Minpunten:

Because QuickBooks was created so long ago, some of their features continually fall behind the times. They're always just one step behind technological innovation, and their software isn't always the most user-friendly. I think it may be a symptom of the software being designed by tax-minded individuals, who tend to think wildly differently from the majority of people who are going to use this software. Some of the features are difficult to find or use, the user-interface is a bit clunky, the software can be a bit slow at times, and there's a steep learning curve for some of the more advanced features.

Minpunten:

1. Online Traffic only, Needs to restart

QuickBooks Online Ease of Use

Opmerkingen: It's a love/hate relationship with QBO. I love the functionality and the possibilities of what it can do, but absolutely hate it when there is a question I need an answer to. I have tried for 4 weeks to convert our payroll over to a new QBO Payroll program and have yet to get everything completed. Every time I make a little progress, another question pops up and I have to spend at least 1-2 hours with a rep to get help. Unfortunately, our third-party tech support does not specialize in payroll, so I have no other options but to be at QBO's mercy.

Pluspunten:

It provides an excellent option for payroll processing and federal/state tax reporting. The reports options are great.

Minpunten:

The customer service is horrible, and answers are confusing once a person does answer to help. After many countless searches and help desk responses that did not provide adequate results, we started using Real World Training's support. They provided a two-day tutorial on all QuickBooks basics and help out on live, real-time sessions as needed.

I'm happily married to QuickBooks

Opmerkingen: I think the future is digital and it's time that we all dropped our fear and start keeping our records online. It’s very possible that your hard disk could crash but Quickbooks will still be there storing your records. I recommend Quick books to small and medium-sized companies.

Pluspunten:

Before I began using QuickBooks, my biggest fear was that we were going to entrust a cloud with our money. Personally, I was hesitant for a long time and so was my company. But after that, we decided to take a leap of faith and use QuickBooks. We’ve been happily married to this software ever after. So here is why I like QuickBooks It’s invoicing feature is amazing. The feature automatically invoices our customers and brilliantly matches the invoices to the customers. Quickbooks takes payments, bills and compiles reports for everything And while Quickbooks is doing this, everyone on the accounting team accesses it with ease.

Minpunten:

Quickbooks crashes a lot and limits access to a few number of people. That's why I don't recommend it to big firms.

Customer satisfaction does not seem important to the Quick Books Team

Opmerkingen: The experience with the Customer Care employees was very frustrating. I felt they were really not interested in helping me.

Pluspunten:

I like to be able to do bank feeds, putting my transactions directly into my accounting software. I also like the graphs that are available to the user.

Minpunten:

We are a small company and I do much of our accounting input myself. I tried to purchase the on line Quick Books on two separate occasions. I was told it would be easier for me to get assistance if the books were on line. The first time they couldn't convert my file from my Desk Top version but continued to charge me for 18 months, even after I had cancelled it. That should have been my lessons to stay away from the addition of"on line" to my existing account. However, 3 years later, I was again prompted by my accountant on how it would simplify the business accounting; I tried again. AGAIN they couldn't merge my older version of Quick Books to the on line version without first updating and charging me even more money. I immediately cancelled the on line version and went with a desk top version. I got the Quick Books support employees name and a phone number and his assurance that the account was cancelled. When a question arose on my desk top version I found that the ON LINE version was not cancelled after all. I once again had TWO accounts and they would be charging me. My frustration was extremely evident and I was told to take it down a notch or they would "disconnect" me. I use quick books because I feel like getting another software would be difficult to transfer everything that I have in my files for the past 10 years. I am never satisfied with their customer service and the software is difficult to keep up with changes from year to year.
