Accountant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Accounting Job Using QB Online Advanced" May 21, 2026 5.0 I am very comfortable using the quickbooks online advanced.

Pros I like Quickbooks on line because it is user friendly. Its provides flexibility, real-time collaboration with other accountants. Its very easy for bookkeeping job and preparation of financial statements Cons Unlike Quickbooks desktop software, you can buy once , but Quickbooks online Advanced operates on a recurring monthly subscription.

Also advance QuickBooks offers customizable dashboards, KPIs and trend analysis, Pros The most thing about QuickBooks online advance is its bookmark features you add bookmarks for reports, entries and subledger and save the processing time Cons I dislike that QuickBooks online advance is still primarily desktop-based. Also, for remote teams, there often needs to be workarounds like hosting services to access files, which adds cost and complexity. Review Source Richard O. Owner and Director Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good when it works" November 6, 2025 2.0 It has been average with a number of problems experinced over the last few years, some which have taken a long time to resolve. Pros It has been a great advancement from using manual excel sheets. It is great for sending out invoices to my customers and asking them to pay online via paypal. Cons I most dislike their integration with Gocardless since it has caused us a lot of problems, although QB were quick to accept fault and offer compensation. The online payment fees through paypal is expensive.

Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "QuickBooks is great! " November 20, 2025 5.0 Great experience, QB is one of my favorite accounting solutions at an affordable price. QB offers so much more than what we use it for, its great for small and large biz. Pros QuickBooks is easy to use and can help any business grow. We used it for accounting purposes and making payments. My favorite feature was the payment processing and sending links for easy and quick payments. We linked our QB account to a CRM where we would invoice and record the payments. It was great to keep track or everything. As far as processing transactions, they offer the best value per transaction. One other thing I also like about QB is the customer support anytime you need help, literally any time you have a question they are only a call away or you can chat with a representative. Cons Very few times I had issues with it syncing to our CRM program (Acculynx). Sometimes we had issues with clients recording over to QB and payments entered into QB recording over to Acculynx. We called customer service and they were very helpful getting everything set up again. Review Source JM Jason M. VP Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "QuickBooks Online is Worth It" September 8, 2025 4.0 Overall it has been good, but they make too many errors when pushing their updates. It is too much sometimes. Pros It was very easy to use and they constantly make updates. Our CPA is also very familiar with the product, so that made it even easier to use. Cons They never send out details emails explaining their updates and how to use them. It is very confusing to sit down one day and everything has changed.

May 1, 2026 5.0 My overrall experience is good and QuikBooks Online Advance is highly valuable for managing complex finances, though it has a steeper learning curve, higher costs, and occasional performance lags compared to lower-tier plans.

I haven't been able to find this combination of value and price in another off the shelf program. Pros The ease and speed of invoicing and payments has streamlined a good amount of 'busy work". The connection to other small businesses using the same platform has also streamlined uploading new vendors and customers. Cons Some of the reports that I was used to in the desktop version were hard to replicate. With the online support I was able to find most of what I needed.

It is widely known and used and easily understood by non-finance professionals. It is still seeing updates and getting better than the original version as they try to move all users to QBO. Pros QBO Advanced has quick and easy reporting with so many ways to customize. It integrates easily with basically every other tool and is very easy to access. Cons Some reports are not as robust as the QB Desktop versions, though this seems to be consistently improving.

Estimator Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Overall Review" May 5, 2026 4.0 Overall, my experience with QuickBooks Online Advanced has been very positive. It’s a reliable, all-in-one platform that handles everything from day-to-day bookkeeping to more advanced financial reporting without needing multiple systems. Once you get past the initial learning curve, it becomes a huge time-saver Pros The ability to create custom reports, automate workflows, and handle large volumes of transactions efficiently is a big advantage for growing businesses. Cons QuickBooks Online Advanced can get expensive quickly, especially for small or mid-sized businesses that may not fully use all of its features. The pricing jump from lower-tier plans is noticeable, and some essential tools are locked behind this higher tier. Review Source Sean C.

Have been using this system for several years and it has served most of our needs quite well. Pros Ease of use, syncs with other software's. The reports are generated easily and for the moist part very helpful. Cons Having an accountant undo a reconciliation when needed. The desktop version you could reverse a reconciliation on your own.

Pros I like the new option to add projects, it's the best tool so far and most widely accepted in the market to track your expenses, categorize and run reports for profitability. I use it to send invoices and connect it to each of my projects. Cons Sometimes it takes its time to update the last transactions, or it automatically categorizes but you always have to double-check and determine which is the correct nature of the transaction. Review Source CC Cindy C. Owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Would like another option for small business. " November 24, 2025 3.0 Overall I’d like another option. I feel like QuickBooks is a monopoly and as a small business there is no other option. Pros I actually do not like that it is really the only option most accountants will work with. It sort of gets the job done. Cons It is not user friendly. It is difficult to navigate. Does not connect with all tax entities as needed in Texas.

It's nice that it integrates with so many other softwares. Pros I enjoy that Quick Books online is very intuitive and how smooth it is to operate. The fact that it's cloud based makes it easy for teams. Cons I don't like that the app on my desktop is super slow. It's not the desktop QBs version but the online version and I still have that issue. Review Source KG Kristin G. Office Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Our financial records never looked so good!" April 2, 2025 5.0 Overall very good, I wish the support was better. Pros Once you have a good understanding of it, it is pretty easy to use and really improves the speed and quality of our financial reporting. Cons It isn't as intuitive as I'd like, plus I'm a non profit and much of the online resources are geared towards for profit companies which don't help me. Review Source MB Morgan B. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Too Expensive to have Usage Issues" June 5, 2025 4.0 Overall, I wish it could have worked better because it would be easier to use QuickBooks for everything than to integrate other tools into my business but it did not. I, also, found that the rising fees on every element were adding up to more than it was worth. I could not reach customer support ever to straighten out problems so ultimately had to make a few changes. Pros I loved using QuickBooks product suite for the first year or two and still find that it's a great comprehensive package for small businesses. Cons When using the full QuickBooks product suite there are often issues. For example invoicing double creating bookkeeping entries. I still use some QuickBooks products but do not use all of them any longer. Review Source BL Brian L.

It’s easy to use and simple to find the answers you look for. Pros We were use to the desktop version for so many years and scared to switch thinking it would be a nightmare! Boy were we wrong!! What a smooth transition to the cloud. I love its ease of use! Cons My least favorite part is that I have to pay extra for payroll features but it is a necessity in most business. Switched from [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) Cost and amount of users for desktop was getting expensive.

Quickbooks is the platform that I use to run my business. Challenge is that they can charge whatever fees they like and increase their prices because I need them. Pros Tracking of expenses and invoicing - clients get a professional look and feel! Cons Hard to learn and fees every time you turn around. Review Source MW Mark W. Owner Environmental Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "QBO for me. " June 6, 2025 5.0 Very good. It has been instrumental to my business from the early days. I used to used it to invoice and track bookings Pros Very easy to candidate and synchronises well with my CRM. It allows me to monitor sales and profit well Cons It can be complicated sometimes, but not overly - it’s more practice and training required that makes it harder Review Source ST Shayne T. Co owner Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great but can be complicated " February 25, 2026 5.0 Keeping the books feels a lot easier with QuickBooks. It smoothly connects to bank accounts, organizes expenses, and pulls together reports without much hassle, which makes staying on top of finances far less stressful. Pros Keeping track of money feels a lot easier when the numbers update themselves, bills get sent out automatically, and you can see where everything stands at a glance. It also connects with plenty of other tools, so tax season and day‑to‑day planning don’t feel like a scramble. Cons It can take a while to figure out all the features, and the monthly fees start to add up. Every now and then, reports don’t quite match what you expect, or bank connections act up, which can be frustrating if you’re on a deadline. Review Source NC Nicole C.
