Be prepared to be frustrated during training do to training sequence and poor explanation of why your doing steps.
All things considered, the conversion went smoothly with the help and encouragement of my trainer. I have a new appreciation for the importance of the initial set-up.
I dislike the inability to have "sub jobs" (cannot print CPR by phase/site). I cannot track labor to change orders.
Great functionality out of the box. The ability to easily write our own reports is a huge benefit.
I was disappointed that the Foundation Mobile app didn't have the reporting that our management staff needs to run our jobsites.
Foundation has great graphics, and the Executive Dashboard is wonderful for our company officers that want a quick and easy-to-understand overview.
I had problems with importing information. Foundation was able to assist me in correcting the issue.
Quickbooks is easy to manage use and learn. It provides good reports quickbook comes at an affordable price therefore it has been perfect fot my small buisness.
The biggest downfall of QBO is that it is very different from QBD and has a learning curve. If the users do not learn how to propertly use QBO, they can mess up the companies books BAD.
Fields to fill and perfectly links the data from one end like ap and AR to the bank reconciliation. Great reports on transactions for the month or period if interest.
No 'undo' button and not excessively intuitive. If you make a mistake, have to know how to reverse/correct it.
Great smart accounting software that is very responsive and nice to send invoices and get paid faster.
Quickbooks left me feeling incapable of completing the simple tasks required to run our day to day business. I hated every moment I spent logged on to quickbooks.
Great product, very reliable and simple to use. They have multiple integration capabilities, which is super helpful for freelancers.
When you first start using the app it can be irritating and tricky.
Speaker 1: My name is Alex. I'm the COO for Made By WiFi. We're a boutique IT firm based out of New York City with under 10 employees. I would rate QuickBooks Online a 5/5. I use QuickBooks Online for bookkeeping, invoice management, accounts receivables, payment processing, as well as the reporting capabilities which are very rich. I like how easy it was to pick up and learn. I've never used QuickBooks before. We were managing our company's finances through Google Sheets prior to QBO. The learning curve was basically a day, we got it all figured out. It's very easy to navigate and it's very easy to find what you need as well as streamline financial operations. Just making it easier to get paid, essentially. I'd like to see more consistent monthly billing from QBO. I feel like our monthly billing increased almost by 50% since we signed up without really getting more features. I'm not sure how quickly or why they raised their prices so aggressively, but they have, and I wish there was just more of a locked-in rate for a period of time that we could have agreed to.
