Data Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "QuickBooks Online Advanced Review." January 21, 2023 5.0 My point of sale (POS) systems and the previous version did not connect adequately. With this, I've completely erased all of the earlier flaws and transformed the game. Pros The advanced features of QuickBooks Online have really surprised me. The software offers a variety of tools and features that make managing finances simple and is highly intuitive. The ability to generate invoices quickly and easily, and to generate accurate and complete reports. Cons The outrageous price of the subscription, in my opinion, is one of the shortcomings of QuickBooks Online Advanced.Additionally, some of the complaints receive too little attention from customer service. Review Source Rexie M. Director Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for small businesses" February 23, 2023 4.0 Good! Have used QuickBooks products for a couple of years now and it has helped to streamline business processes and ensure no invoice goes unpaid. Pros Fairly easy to use, can connect with bank, has app, lots of reports and accountant access. Also like the HR bolt on. Cons App is glitchy / freezes regularly. Cannot get an Average Invoice Value report.

Director Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "QuickBooks is great - online advanced version is the Best!" July 6, 2022 5.0 Pros I like the ease of access - and the modernised platform, so it's not old and clunky like some of the other bookkeeping softwares on the market that I've previously used! Cons It is a little less integration friendly with some other softwares, so that is a bit of a negative point for me. Alternatives considered [Sage Accounting](https://www.capterra.com/p/168740/Sage-One-UK/) Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Advanced Sage was a bit too pricey for the likes of what I needed. QuickBooks in my opinion was more visually appealing as well. Review Source MS Michael S. Accounting Manager Medical Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not a Quickbooks Online Fan:(" August 9, 2023 1.0 We use Quickbooks to maintain our general ledger and run financial statements and pay bills. We have a separate software system to manage patient accounts and patient billing. Pros It's internet based. Saving reports in Excel is much faster. Cons Quickbooks Desktop was much more logical and easier to use. Quickbooks Online looks and functions much differently from the Desktop version. They changed everything....mostly for the worse. All the screens are different; the menus are all different; the reports are all different. Whoever designed this software knew little of accounting and how accountants work. Everything takes longer in Quickbooks Online than it did in Desktop....except saving reports to Excel. Switched from [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) Our outside accountant said Intuit was doing away with their Desktop version and switching everything over to their Online version. Review Source MC Molly C. Senior Financial Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Move My Company Ever Made" December 11, 2019 5.0 The cost for this product is amazing. We have saved $100,000 yr since switching from NetSuite. My team and I honestly prefer QuickBooks for everyday bookkeeping and business operations. For our company the switch was a no-brainer. Pros This software is so easy to use and makes training a breeze. A ton of the functionality makes everything more efficient and intuitive. The reporting is awesome and easy to create your own custom reports. Cons You cannot have multiple tabs open and you cannot easily create consolidated financials to include multiple instances. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Advanced We wanted a cloud based system since we utilize multiple instances. It made it easier to switch back and forth between companies. Switched from [NetSuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/135757/NetSuite/) It was too expensive and our organizational structure changed. We no longer saw the benefit for an expensive system with features we never used. The final straw was the fact NetSuite did not support 1099 preparation! Review Source BM Beth M. Owner and COO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "All-Encompassing, Integrated Accounting Program for Small Businesses" December 11, 2019 5.0 Sending invoices out to clients on a recurring basis used to vex me! But invoicing with QBO is quick and simple and I can see whether the client has open/viewed the invoice. Now I can even create invoices in batches! I can send reminders, statements, and clients can pay online with credit cards or ACH, allowing cash flow to improve. I can also see AR reports and then follow up easily. Pros Overall this product is easy to use and offers the tracking resources our company needs. I also love the add-ons for processing payroll and the merchant services. It is a seamless, easy process for me to process payroll at a fraction of the cost of payroll processing companies. Also, I have yet to find a per transaction cost lower that Intuit's Merchant Services, plus it cuts the amount of work I would have to do if I used an outside credit card processor. I also like that this is cloud-based, online software that I can access from any computer at home and at work (or even at a coffee shop). Cons When I have a question or need assistance, the customer service has not been as good as I would expect to support what is, in my opinion, such a great software. QBO Advanced, however, has upgraded with a service called Priority Circle. Review Source KE Kira E. Executive Assistant Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Accounting System" November 30, 2023 5.0 Pros Quickbooks is an easy to use program at a minimal cost. It has all the features we would want and can connect to our payroll system. Cons The only thing I do not like is that the reporting is not shared between our accountant and our company. They made a custom report to pull, but I cannot see that on my side which is frustrating. Alternatives considered [Xero](https://www.capterra.com/p/120109/Xero/) Review Source MP Marcus P. Chief of Operations Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to implement and scalable small business accounting" April 11, 2022 5.0 Overall this is a critical software for our small business and the price is good for the benefits we receive. Pros Easy to implement and scale, Quickbooks makes small business accounting accessible to owners. The reports and bill pay organization are excellent. Cons The payroll features were not as user friendly and we ended up outsourcing payroll to an accounting firm. Alternatives considered [Orchestra](https://www.capterra.com/p/215575/Orchestra/) Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Advanced More affordable Review Source EM Eric M. Owner Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "As a General Contractor I wouldn't recommend" February 10, 2021 2.0 Frustrating Pros Nothing really. We used to have QB desktop and it was pretty solid, but it was clunky for our remote accountant to access the desktop version (possible, just challenging for only our accountant or we could be on the desktop version at a time). Otherwise it the desktop version was great. Cons Where do I start. Customer service knows 'zero' about the construction industry hence can't relate to questions regarding simple things such as sub-contractor W9 and certificate of insurance (COI) storage. QB desktop has a place for input of COI storage with the addition of 'reminders' when a sub's COI expires. The online version has nothing for this (and this is a big deal for a growing general contractor - keeping track of COI manually is a huge pain). Also, when adding a project (location) for an Existing customer one would think you could go into an Existing customer profile to create a new project - but no, you have to create an entirely new CUSTOMER to do this, when all you are doing is adding a project to an existing Customer. It's baffling. Our accountant also doesn't like QB online and commented it was designed by website designers - not accountants. I agree. We're looking for new accounting software. Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Advanced We assumed that the online version would be as good as the desktop version - not the case. Review Source LJL Liezel Jane L. Finance Controller Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "QuickBooks Online Advance review" February 24, 2024 5.0 Making my job a lot easier and faster. Making me have more time for my family. Pros Real-Time recording and easy to navigate. Cons I like everything in QBO Advanced. Nothing at all! Review Source RH Ross H. Office Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Software" October 18, 2022 5.0 Overall my experience has been good, a few times either myself or another user has made a mistake but with the help of online and phone support we got the issue fixed in a timely manner. Pros Overall the software is easy to use and robust New features have a learning curve as with most things, the online help with this is good. Cons The price can be daunting for smaller businesses or even individuals Alternatives considered [Xero](https://www.capterra.com/p/120109/Xero/) Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Advanced Recommendation from a friend who uses the lower tier package, but thought the higher tier package would be a good fit for us. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Office Manager Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Affordable, realiable and easy to use " November 28, 2020 5.0 Accounting made easy even for those bookkeepers or accountants new to the software. Pros QuickBooks for nonprofits can handle small nonprofits and large ones as well. The system is easy to use and QuickBooks has a ton of guides and videos to help begins with just about anything. Truly accounting made easy, not to mention the dozens of app integrations available. Cons My only complaint is when calling customer service, I have been helped by representatives who know less than I do about their program. I just hand up and call again to talk to someone else. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quickbooks is the standard, but they're starting to abuse that position" March 22, 2024 5.0 Pros I like how Quickbooks is integrated with everything (banks, other CRMs, etc). It's also fairly easy to use once it's setup correctly by an accountant that knows what they're doing. Cons I feel like the product never gets any better, but the price keeps going up. Given that hooking up all your accounts is so time-consuming, it feels like they are abusing their relationship with their users. What else am I getting for my extra $10/month? When your user base is primarily small businesses, it feels predatory that they can just up their revenue by 100s of millions of dollars without doing anything to earn it.

Cons Multicurrency is very difficult to use.Easy to change and delete records, this is not good for control purposes. Review Source LK Lahari K. Project Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "QuickBooks Online is very powerful tool with various features and easy to use" December 30, 2020 5.0 \-Subscription Management -Accounting -Reporting -Revenue Forecast Pros QuickBooks Online is very helpful in tracking invoicing and forecasting revenue projections.Its ease of use and benefits of cloud computing is the game changer. It can be accessed from anywhere with secured online system. It is very easy to integrate and we have integrated our SaaSOptics with QuickBooks Online. Allows for easy integration with banks, credit card companies, and other financial management software. Cons QuickBooks Online session expires very often. Most of the times, it does not show the log out screen till we perform any action & proceed. Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Advanced We started off with this product as per research, QBO is the best we could find for our needs Review Source JR Jodi R. Office Manager Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "QBO is Life" December 1, 2022 5.0 Pros It makes a very difficult task like accounting that people take years to learn an understandable and conquerable task for people without the proper education and background. I'm an accounting professional I never intended to be because of it. Payroll is a breeze! Cons The terms used for categories gets excessive sometimes but if you keep track then it isn't difficult to learn.

COO Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best Option Out There" December 11, 2019 4.0 We were doing all of our accounting manually before and it got to a point where we could not keep up. Now none of our upcoming expenses are a surprise and we know with great accuracy what our financial position is while we are determining if an opportunity is right for us. Pros I like that it is universally used so no matter how many different financial professionals from how many different companies I have to deal with they are familiar with the software so there is no learning or teaching curve there. Cons The biggest flaw I would say is when a new 3rd party program comes out that works well with my business Quickbooks seems to lag behind in having some kind of integration available. Ideally I would like all my softwares so integrate with Quickbooks so that I can use the full power of the system. Alternatives considered [Xero](https://www.capterra.com/p/120109/Xero/) Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Advanced Because Xero is new and if it catches on that will take years, Quickbooks is THE accounting software and I feel like it always will be. Review Source AZ Amanda Z. CEO Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quickbooks" August 17, 2023 5.0 We really like it. It makes accounting and financial analysis easy. It is very user friendly! Pros How easy it is to invoice and process customer payments. I like that we can see how many times a customer has viewed our invoice. It is very easy to collect and produce our financial statements each month. Cons There is not a "Paid Date" column option for their reports. Review Source ES Emilie S. Office Admin Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good, Easy To Use Software" February 21, 2023 4.0 Good, mostly have the Advanced version in order for bills, payments, customer details, etc. to be synced to our project management software. Pros Easy to use. After a few webinars you can figure out how to use it. Cons Doesn’t track construction projects throughly enough (provide enough detail). Might be ok for handyman type projects but not custom homes or renovations where you really want to know your numbers and have them broken down by stages. The project portion is not detailed enough. Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Advanced Well known in the industry. Review Source JC Joel C. Principal Owner Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Loaded with Features for the price. " September 15, 2022 5.0 Having the ability to have different users help me better manage the Financials for the company. Pros Has great features as cash flow analysis and integration with apps like Amazon. Cons KPIs would be a great addition to better track what is important for each user. Review Source RI Rick I. Owner Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Happy with Quickbooks" November 15, 2022 5.0 Very happy and I recommend any small to medium company use this product Pros I have used it for 10 years and all my information is in one place and I can easily do comparisons Cons Search and Finding customers and checks. Sometime when I have a question and I call tech support I end up with someone who is very new and I feel like I know more than they do. I don't like to be on hold till they find the answer. Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Advanced Ease of use and good support from technical help center. Review Source BO Brandon O. Development Manager Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quick books Is A Do-It-All for the new business start up" May 5, 2022 4.0 Pros Quick books offer extensive functionality that is beyond what your typical cloud accounting software can provide. Their customer support also is very helpful in helping you unlock extended functionality. Cons It’s definitely not as robust as something like caseware, which many accounting firms use. However, it is considerably cheaper and offers a way for users to earn income through selling quick book licenses.

Business Office Manager Wholesale Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "QBO is Definitely Different" December 11, 2019 4.0 Our overall experience with QBO Advanced has been pretty good. I think with the development and implementation of more features or customization of different "modules" to be customer specific it would serve us perfectly. And hey, the price is WONDERFUL! Pros What I like most about using QBO Advanced is how user friendly and simplistic it is to use. We transitioned our entire financial management system and for the most part it was relatively smooth. Cons There were many obstacles to overcome in the transition to QBO Advanced. It mainly involve how to find work around solutions for areas not offered in QBO Advanced such as specifically detailed inventory management and also fixed assets. The inventory process in QBO is clunky and too simplistic for our company, BUT since QBO is so easy to use we have customized processes to make it work for us. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Advanced Our former account didn't inform us of possibly a more suitable program. QBO Advanced was easiest for them. Switched from [Sage 100](https://www.capterra.com/p/227232/Sage-100cloud/) We made the switch at the behest of our former accountants.
