Pros

No worries, the payroll is done accurately and quickly. All details are taken care of. The latest tax tables are used.

Cons

when it is slow at work, I could probably handle the payroll. So it would be nice if it was on demand.

### "expensive for small entities"

September 7, 2021

4.0

ability to block out other users not a custom part of functionality; does not currently remit deductions or file ROE forms so value for money is questionable for small entities

Pros

integration with QBO is amazing - reports and details are great

Cons

customer service is hit or miss (often the agent is clueless about Canadian payroll and is simply following a flowchart of questions)

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing QuickBooks Payroll

I left QB Payroll for KNIT for myself and clients whenever possible. In two cases I stayed using QB Payroll - 1 was a client who preferred paper cheques stuck with QB Payroll and 1 had staff in QC which isn't currently supported by KNIT.

### "Made my payroll life easy!"

April 22, 2020

5.0

Pros

Love that it does everything for me. This software makes my payroll life easy. I'm not worried about W2 or 1099s and the reminders are great too.

Cons

I haven't really encountered any thing I didn't like, but I would love the option to apply a portion of an employees pay to a specific class. You can apply an employee to a class, but not portions of their pay to various classes.

September 1, 2022

There is nothing to dislike with quickbooks payroll.

### "Helpful, but not intuitive"

November 26, 2019

5.0

I was able to run payroll effectively for several years by using this software and was able to be up to date on my accounts without outsourcing it another employee. This was product was reliable and user friendly.

Pros

I appreciated the visual layout and overall usability of the software. I was able to repeat steps easily and learn each process in a reasonable about of time. I liked saving money by doing payroll myself instead of outsourcing it.

Cons

It was not as easily learned as other software I have used. The customer service for the software was not prompt nor were they quick with answers or suggestions.

### "QuickBook"

February 14, 2018

4.0

Pros

Simple to navigate, one user-friendly system. The software's alleviate the use of multiple tables, spreadsheets, and tracking sheets necessary to document and maintain accounting tasks at a company

Cons

On the downside, if you use the online version of QuickBooks instead of the on-premises software program, you run the risk of exposing important financial information to Internet hackers.

Pros

I think this software is easy to use to track my vacation time, my overtime, my bonuses, and my paychecks!

Cons

I think this software is a little outdated as far as looks. They could improve it and make it look a little more user friendly.
