Also, I can access my financial information from anywhere, at any time, as long as there is an internet connection. Cons There is nothing I liked least about QBOA.

Freelancer Writing and Editing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Quick Books Makes Managing Businesses Operations Seemless" July 30, 2021 5.0 After some time working with this software and utilizing it's resources, I am pleased to report that despite being slightly intimidated during the initial setup phase it turned out to be a true business owners most valuable asset. Pros What I genuinely appreciated the most about QB is the shear volume of control I'm allotted with it's use. From before and after presentations on finished projects, to last minute schedule changes and staff readjustments, this app gives me access to crucial business functions in a easy to use way Cons I had some slight issues during my initial activation as far as the login process. Trying to make sure everyone was in the system and accessable was a challenge when we were dealing with email verifications and forgotten passcodes. Review Source DC Doris C. CPA Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "QuickBooks Advanced Online" March 19, 2022 1.0 Oh boy, a lot. I took a 2 hour seminar with CPA Academy labeled Advanced. And your presenter of ProAdvisor was \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] form San Diego. To me, she missed the definition. The instructor spent I believe 30 minutes maybe plugging themselves, somewhat understandable, however, excessive. They were ill prepared and if you review the presentation its mentioned how ill prepared they are "it's new to me" was said multiple times. Not knowing of the software Stumbling through the software I would suggest only slides with highlights large print and stick to the cool stuff and add in-depth. The staff was from Intuit and after reassuring myself it was not a BOT, my simple questions one of which was a clear known account feature all accountants CPAs would want. Read the threads if you keep them. I was given homework that led me links that were sales pitches. Having as the presenter stumbles, I checked the  google reviews are few of the application API and these appear to be plugs or Bots. Lastly the register and questions broke CPA academy format regarding the 3-4 poll question and then  grabbing my information "again" to re-register and be submitted to a disruptive cow bell like Pavlov's dog. I plan to record this review to the internet and am so very disappointed. I certainly understand there is a sales element, but CPA Academy's job is equal some better value for my free time too. This product missing the mark and is early release, no arrows in my back. Pros Honestly, underwhelmed maybe it was the presenter. See Cons. Cons See describe. I am simply attempting to let the accountants know what I think of this so far. Review Source MK Milena K.

I use it for a client and it saves me time and money. Pros I like the many features QBO Advanced has to offer. It saves time and money. It is great for growing business. It is easy to integrate with many other apps if needed. Cons The least I like would be the price, however, with the many features it has to offer - it definitely is a must for a growing business with more complex workflows.

The reporting capabilities are comprehensive and accurate, and the cost is worth the investment. Pros I have been thoroughly impressed with QuickBooks Online Advanced. The platform is incredibly intuitive and provides an array of tools and features that make it easy to manage finances. The accounting and invoicing processes are efficient and user-friendly, and the reporting capabilities are comprehensive and accurate. Cons One of the drawbacks of QuickBooks Online Advanced is the cost of the subscription. While the features are worth the investment, the cost can be steep for small businesses with limited budgets. Additionally, the platform can be complicated to navigate for those with limited accounting experience. Switched from [TimeSolv Legal Billing](https://www.capterra.com/p/76729/TimeSolv-Legal-Billing/) QuickBooks Online Advanced stands out among its alternatives by offering a range of features and tools that make it easy to manage finances. The invoicing and accounting processes are efficient and user-friendly, and the reporting capabilities are comprehensive and accurate. Additionally, it offers an array of integrations with popular third-party applications that make it easy to manage finances from one convenient platform. Review Source DB Debi B. VP Operations Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Disappointed in QB Online constant updates" March 29, 2024 3.0 It has been beyond frustrating working with QB customer service to add back a column on a report that was removed (probably accidentally in June 2023). I want to see the NOTES field added back to the Customer export and have reached out to numerous supervisors and have been told many times it will be added back. It is now 10 months later and the field has not been added back. I have provided "Feedback" numerous times as well. Super frustrated with the customer support team not taking steps to fix this. Pros It's important to access QB from different computers/locations.

President E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best accounting software" May 24, 2022 5.0 Quickbooks is the most popular accounting software for small businesses and entrepreneurs. And for good reason! Quickbooks makes running your business easy, which is why it's so popular amongst entrepreneurs. Using Quickbooks made my accounting so simple. I love how I could sync everything to my phone and never miss an invoice or payment. Pros QuickBooks is the best accounting software for established businesses and startups. It offers the best tools to make sure you always have the most accurate financial data possible, no matter what. And their technical support is second to none! Cons Ability to send invoices via text messages Review Source Response from Intuit May 26, 2022 Hi, Ali, and thanks for writing your review!

Pros La relación costo-beneficio es excelente, por un muy bajo desembolso se obtiene un paquete que te permite administrar clientes, proveedores, inventario y finanzas. Cons Es muy útil para empresas pequeñas y medianas, las grandes están por fuera de su alcance. Review Source CR Claire R. Owner Director Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We love it and use it almost every day for our business " November 24, 2023 5.0 We love Quickbooks Online Advanced and it’s the only option for us when it comes to our tax prep, invoicing, bookkeeping and getting paid. Pros We love how easy it is to coordinate with our CPA, invoice our clients, and get paid easily and quickly. We tried so many other options and this was the obvious choice for us. Cons It is a very busy dashboard and menu system. It may be because we don’t need all the functions for our business, but it has a lot going on when you first log on and before you learn exactly what you need. Switched from [FreshBooks](https://www.capterra.com/p/142390/FreshBooks/) It was way easier to use with our CPA which was a crucial aspect of our bookkeeping. Review Source JD Jillian D.

" September 25, 2023 5.0 Overall we have tried using desktop and other platforms but this one seems to be the best fit for us as a company. Pros That we are able to easily integrate with all of our other software programs. Also I love the ease of reports and invoicing. Cons I feel like the estimate section could improve. If you could create some optional features to add to estimates it would really help me with bids for customers. Review Source CY Courtney Y. Writer Writing and Editing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quickbooks Online is great!" March 23, 2022 5.0 Very pleased Pros I use QBO daily. I appreciate this as our main payroll and accounting system. Quickbooks easily integrates with our third-party websites and needs; eg. credit card processing, Paypal, as well as our donor base as we are a 501c3 non profit. I did not have a background in accounting or business management. Quickbooks Online made it very easy to learn how this function works. QBO Customer service always goes above and beyond assisting any needs. Minimal downtime and errors with this software. Very Happy. Cons Over the years QBO has made many advancements and received customer feedback for a quicker, simpler way to run and access reports. I do not have any issues using this software.

Just a small red flag, I had a problem with integration. The QuickBooks integration of our bank was giving me trouble. Most small business software with financial functions, including Quickbooks, interfaces with it. Pros We have access to several user-friendly tools under QuickBooks online, from which we may predict company results with ease. These features are simple to use and comprehend as well. Cons On sometimes, we are abruptly logged out of QuickBooks. This is the one area I believe QuickBooks should focus on, thus I would advise against focusing on anything else. A warning that your QB will log out in a specific amount of time should always be present.

Review Source CA Christine A. staff accountant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "QuickBooks Online Review" December 6, 2022 4.0 Overall it is a great software IF you know what you are doing. I wouldn't recommend for new business owners unless there is proper training provided. It has a lot of useful features that other software don't offer. I do think the pros outweigh the cons. Pros It is nice having all the business information at your finger tips. The automation and bank syncs saves hours of time because transactions don't have to be manually entered. It is easy to generate and customize reports. Cons I don't like that QuickBooks bank feeds try to automatically match transactions. The bank feed center could be improved. It's easy to incorrectly match items. I also don't like running inventory and invoicing through here. It is very easy to get Accounts Receivable and the inventory account messed up. I've had several issues with clients not matching the correct payments to the correct invoices. Review Source Ravi B.

September 11, 2023 3.0 Not bad, support is out of country but it is ok support. Lingering problems always exist as there are undeveloped or poorly developed portions of this app that you run into often. Pros The integrations are fantastic with QBO. I use so many plugins. Cons Its slow, and during high use times the slowdowns are pretty devastating to usability.

September 6, 2023 5.0 Very user friendly software, and has been easy to implement and build with as our business has grown. I don't have an accounting background but have been able to navigate it without too much difficultly. Their support team is also very helpful. Pros Ease of use, especially being able to access remotely. Also easy to pull reports for grants, donors, board, staff, etc. Cons There are several mobile apps for QB, but I haven't found them to be as useful as I would hope. Review Source CA Krishan K. Manager Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product for accounting" June 2, 2023 5.0 Great Pros Data entry can be done using the mobile app. You can login on your laptop once a month to reconcile all the transactions. During the month, just a mobile ap is enough to capture the transactions. Cons It does not provide VAT/Sales tax report in the format required by Feder Tax Authority, UAE. Quickbooks is working on it but it has been five years now. Review Source PS Philip S.

Director Of Operations Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The one stop software for any Business " December 11, 2019 5.0 I am currently learning how to better integrate my time keeping services with quick books and I am overall happy with the transisiton Pros This Software is absolutely essential to my day to day operations. From the ease of use in payroll services, tracking inventory, combining all purchase and financing accounts and creating invoices for all of my customers I could not be happier with Quickbooks. What I really love is that software is always adapting and improving to help with more and more essential tasks, and if I don't know how something works there is always a Webinar/Customer service agent/video to give myself and my employees the tools they need to meet any accounting challenge. Cons The only two issues I have had is with compatibility with the payroll time clock services I would like to use, and this is more personal preference than anything else. I would like to see more options for bio metric time-clocking services than is currently available. the second is the saving of last used dates in the software meaning you have to be vigilant when making invoices or printing checks (I have lost a ton of checks this way) Alternatives considered [Xero](https://www.capterra.com/p/120109/Xero/) Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Advanced Quickbooks was the obvious choice for us when choosing our accounting software because it was easier to use and had a fantastic importing option for older invoicing and books.

Pros For a small business with both job specific and general business needs, QuickBooks Online Pro provides ease of use, intuitive functions, and multiple integration opportunties. Cons There are occasions when terminology could be clearer but it may simple be a function fo the industry your business operates in. Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Advanced Required in order to meet the needs of our job related software package. Review Source MR Michael R. CEO Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great accounting package" March 10, 2022 5.0 This allows us to cost effectively provide services to our clients without extremely high monthly software costs Pros Easy to use and understand but still powerful enough to handle most situations. Cons Not really any cons other than people who want a desktop version and all the headaches that go along with it.

Accountant Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "#1 Accounting Software" September 28, 2023 3.0 Quickbooks is what it is. I know it's not a perfect review and not what everyone wants to hear but it's the best one on the market BUT with that being said this program lacks a lot and has A LOT of glitches and malfunctions all the time. Will I be switching to another one. Probably not in the near future. Pros The overall use of QB online is easy. It's straight to the point and anyone can learn how to use the software. The majority of the features are pretty easy and function great. Cons THIS SOFTWARE IS SO GLITCHY AND SLOW! Some days this software works phenomenal and on the days you need it to work it doesn't. This is especially bad when it comes to the payment feature for contractors. To pay one contractor is fine but when you need to pay multiple and use the feature included in QB it's horrible. Every click takes at least 30 seconds to load making a job that should only take a few minutes take 1/2 your workday. Review Source VM Virginia M.

Owner Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Well-built Accounting Software" July 14, 2022 5.0 Quickbooks Online Advanced is a highly streamlined product that is easy to use and understand for non-accountants. I switched or upgraded several clients to Quickbooks Online Advanced based on their needs and comfortability with the software. There is a lot of flexibility for business owners to get what they need out of it but there are more limitations of the "super advanced" features that Quickbooks Desktop has for accountant's use. Being able to access files from any computer with an internet connection is really convenient which easily allows you to work from home (or anywhere). Pros \- Easy to learn and use - Teachable with low-effort - Great for non-accountants - Bank Feeds offer great efficiency - Accessible from any computer with an internet connection Cons \- Less functionality than QB Desktop - A little pricey Review Source WW William W. Sole Practioner Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Feature Rich but Overpriced and Inflexible" May 5, 2022 3.0 It has served my needs at an exorbitant cost but I hope to find something better and cheaper. Pros At the time I left my law firm, it was what was available for a single person practice. I have used it for many years and it has the basic functions I need. Cons It's worse flaw is its cost. While it is feature rich, most features are not needed and the basic programing that holds it all together is vary inflexible and very difficult to customize for your specific needs. So what appears to be a strength is actually a significant weakness. It's time keeping functionality is very weak and, again, inflexible. Thankfully, some of its new partners offer that capability with full integration. Trouble shooting has always been a challenge. Tech support is very inconsistent and in many cases could not solve basic problems that I ended up solving myself. Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Advanced Continuous upgrades, which in practice have added little. Review Source Similar Products Featured
