Job Administration Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Quickbooks Online makes things so much quicker!" June 28, 2023 4.0 It's been great, this way we don't have as much paperwork clogging up the filing in the office and we are able to get jobs recorded faster. Also great from the office side as people don't always work in the same office so we can all work on it together and it doesn't create issues. Pros It is easy enough to use this when it comes to billing customers for the bigger projects. We can keep track of the expenses for the job sites and it's all tied into the same job so we don't have to go searching into different systems to see an overall view of how the work is going from the office side. Cons Sometimes the system can lag or you have to double click on boxes to put information in. When trying to get it done pretty quickly that can be a little annoying but overall not that big of a deal Review Source RP Robert P. Bookkeeper Operations Utilities Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Surprised that I like Quickbooks Online" November 24, 2023 5.0 I knew I would have a learning curve after using Desktop Premium. That learning curve was shorter than expected and I am now considering features such as expense receipts. I will compare to using Expensify (which I dislike, but is used by several staff). I am always able to find workarounds and/or strategies to do what I want to do with invoices, reports, bills, and reports. I haven't fully explored the reporting features yet, though the immediate needs are easily met. Pros As I become more familiar with navigating through QBO (this software), I have come to like it much more than a previous version which I used briefly a few years ago. I like this software and have had only minor and temporary adjustment issues after converting from Quickbooks Desktop Premium. Cons Surprisingly, I don't have any strong dislikes. My navigation and use habits with Desktop had developed over several years. I can do everything in the Online version though I spend longer at this point. The new habits are quickly decreasing the extra time I initially spent. I found that I can have a few browser windows open so I am not constantly going back to a previous menu item. That was a major issue initially, and is now a minor annoyance at times. Switched from [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) cost savings since Intuit is intending to discontinue all desktop products except Enterprise which we didn't need.

QuickBooks is easy and intuitive to use, and it's easy to fix or undo mistakes. I can't imagine doing the bookkeeping any other way. Since it is so widely used, there are plenty of classes and tutorials available. I love the specific nonprofit features, such as classes. Cons Still impossible to do true fund accounting with Quickbooks. We use classes for each program and subclasses for each project, which is a lot of work but is necessary to properly track our employees' time. Producing a correct balance sheet by class is technically possible but very difficult and prone to error. Review Source Response from Intuit September 5, 2019 Sharing the workload to make your job easier is our goal, Theresa! We think it's awesome you've enjoyed using QuickBooks for all of your bookkeeping needs and that we've been a key component of your day to day business life.

Cons Reporting is terrible. its difficult to create meaningful reports when you start using classes and sub classes. i wish the GL report would display as my default preference instead of making me change it everytime. I hate that i can only see one year's worth of outstanding invoices on the invoice screen. why cant it just show me all o/s from all time as of today? My least favorite things is the limited number of tags you can put on a transaction. For example the only way you can tag a transaction is by account and class. I need at least 2 more tags to do everything i need. Review Source VH Vikram H. Accountant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quickbooks Review " February 27, 2023 5.0 Overall we have a great experinece with quickbooks. Pros QuickBooks is a widely used accounting software with a user-friendly interface. Its flexibility allows for customization to meet specific business needs, and it offers real-time reporting and analysis features to effectively track financial performance. Cons high pricing, limited user permissions, and occasional technical glitches. Review Source JL Jeremiah L. Controller Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mid Tier Accounting Software with Mid Tier Value" May 2, 2022 3.0 Pros The best thing about QuickBooks Online Advanced is the price. As a SMB that has over 100 employees and generates +$12 million in revenue, the software package that is included is inexpensive as compared to other ERP/Accounting software passages. Cons The worst thing about QuickBooks Online Advanced is the discontinuity that exists within the platform. Everything seems to operate in a segregated manner so it is easy to get working in one section of the platform, but it is not simple to transition to another from within a section. The platform is by no means complete because there are many features that are missing and either require an integration with a 3rd party application or a need to purchase another software altogether. Review Source MG Michael G. President Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Slow and bloated" March 14, 2024 3.0 Pros Decent reporting. Handles bank transactions well. Cons Slow and clunky. Loaded with ads for optional services. Customer service is hit or miss. Review Source MM Melissa M. President Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "QBO Advanced is fantastic!" May 5, 2022 5.0 Pros The advanced version of QBO allows for unlimited accounts on the chart of accounts, as well as up to 25 users of the software. It has more robust reporting than other versions of QBO. I use it for almost all of my non-profit clients. Cons For a smaller business, the price can be prohibitive. Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Advanced Expanded chart of accounts, more users Review Source TP Tammy P. Staff Accountant Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It's All About The Extras" December 11, 2019 5.0 Pros QBO Advanced includes the analytics through dashboards and Fathom. These are powerful tools and very useful for management. The Enhanced Custom Fields are valuable for our company as we are able to capture information that can be kept in QBO with the client instead of having several spreadsheet to keep this information. The Customize Access By Role is helpful for us because we are able to then develop UI from our software into QBO allowing our developer to have access to QBO but not have access to the entire company file. Feedback is very vital for us the user. As we find something that could make our jobs easier, or a way of getting information out you can always enter the feedback in for Intuit's development team to review. I have experienced that some feedback has been addressed, which adds value for us because we know that the software is becoming a tool that will do all that we need it to do. Cons We lost a couple reports when we converted over from desktop, but Intuit is constantly working on enhancing the software. Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Advanced We went to QBO because we needed to start our cloud footprint in order to advance things that we were trying to do within our own software. The Advanced part added benefit for some reporting functions that we were already trying to implement for management. Review Source JC Julie C. Director Fund-Raising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nice program - room for improvement but gets job done" October 21, 2022 4.0 Pros I appreciate all the integrations with our bank and donor software - I don't have a lot of QuickBooks training but am able to manage everything on my own. Cons Customer service is terrible - call and chat features all give the run around and say a different department has to help and you end up on hold and never getting answers to important business questions. Best to have a network of other users to help you work through some problems as they come up. Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) TechSoup offered the online advanced for a discount which also allowed us to incorporate budgeting and budget tracking as well as using classes. Review Source JO Javier O. Owner Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Accounting tool for the Small Business Owner" May 5, 2022 5.0 Amazing tool, highly recommended to SME owners and their accountants. Easy to use for the non-accounting person, and once is well configured, it saves you time and money. Pros It is easy to use, easy to understand, and with tons of help online you will learn how to configure your tool in short time. Cons Some aspects, like the configuration of the customers, and the invoicing, requires good time to configure. But once is done, is done, no need to revisit. Review Source MC Michael C. CEO Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "For an SMB there are few better accounting software packages." May 19, 2023 5.0 Overall, very positive. I consider it essential but some ability to add certain modules without having to increase costs by 100% would be nice. Pros It's easy to use and learn. It integrates with many banks making it simple to reconcile. Cons Reporting needs to add more charts and graphs and the dashboard needs more widgets and customization. You get good reports at our level, but to get graphical charts you have to upgrade to the next levels which is more than 100% increase in costs. Also, modules they include are rendered useless with out others. Example: inventory. It's a great tool, but without the ability to have a role for jus tan inventory manager without doubling my costs to upgrade means I can't use it. Review Source EV Elizabeth V. Church Bookkeeper Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "QuickBooks Online is Great for our Small Church!" February 11, 2023 5.0 Very user friendly & just makes sense! When I have had an issue, customer service has been very helpful and staying on the phone with me until I get it resolved. Pros Easily keep track of giving records, and church expenses to make sure we are staying within our budget. Cons That I have to assign a sales receipt when it is not necessary for our business structure. I don’t like that. It gives me an error on every giving transaction. I enter because of this. Review Source RZ Rick Z. Owner Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for small businesses" August 9, 2022 5.0 It has been a useful tool for several years for me. The integration with banking saves me a lot of time for end of the year. Pros Software is fairly easy to use and understand. It's extremely scalable so I can increase or decrease my use as needed Cons The integration with my bank account is fairly stable, however, transaction descriptions that are downloaded into QB are often truncated and very difficult to figure out what they are for without having to do further research. Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Advanced More scalable and better features Review Source WM William M. Treasurer Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product" July 11, 2023 5.0 I enjoy using it because I’m tied to a desktop to perform my job. Being mobile is critical for me due to I’m not in a office daily. Pros Being able to fully reconcile bank accounts every month with ease. Cons If a bank account change its behind the scene operating software you loose access to all previous data before the new role of software. Review Source DL David L. President Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Use of Quickbooks Online by a small law office" May 19, 2022 5.0 I have relied exclusively on this product for a long time, and provided user access to my accountants who use it as well. For the money, it can't be beat. Pros It is very easy to use, intuitive, can access it anywhere I have internet, and can create reportsU Cons There is nothing that I do not like about this software. Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Advanced I did not consider any other products. Review Source EM Elana M.

Mental Performance Consultant Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quickbooks Review" December 5, 2022 5.0 Experience has been great and very professional so far! Pros I loved how automated my invoices and billing became using quickbooks. I enjoy the professional look and easy use of the platform. It made it also easier to build and make expenses report. The customer service was also really good as I was able to schedule a call within the first 5 min on the website Cons Right now, I need a bit more experience on the platform. However, I would say that the price are decent and good for what I am using. Nothing negative to say about the platform.

Adjusting columns, for instance, is a pain. Customer service is inadequate. The reps do not understand questions more often than not and provide irrelevant answers. Review Source CH Cristina H. Ceo Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good product " May 25, 2022 4.0 You can use projects and manager tasks. Pros Easy to use, not easy to customize. You have more number of accounts and more flexibility than other versions of QBO. Cons Integrations not always works well. Customization is not easy and sometimes is not possible. Customer service chat most of the time is not available.

I just wish the customer service was friendlier and more helpful with the requests. Pros QBO lets you access and work in your books from any location. You can connect your bank accounts, which is very helpful with tracking down the expenses. Cons Some reports are hard to find and generate. The most frustrating part is contacting the customer service - it's a long time to get connected to them and super hard to get any information out of them Review Source Devin B. CEO Wholesale Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use for our company" December 8, 2022 5.0 It was easy to implement and setup. Pros We love the ease of use that the product offers.

CPA/Consultant Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Versatile and easy to use" August 16, 2022 5.0 Pros QB Online Advanced is very easy to use, easy to learn, and versatile enough to produce needed record keeping and reports Cons Process to void checks could be improved. Currently the process impacts the original date of the check rather than the current period - need option to add date of the void. Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Advanced Ease of implementation, ease of use, ease of operation, yet providing full functionality. Review Source MN Mayra N. Administrator Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very User Friendly" November 3, 2023 5.0 Pros One of the things I like most about QB, is how user-friendly it is. Adding new vendors, bills, or even making changes to existing information is quick and easy. The program comes with a list of standard reports that are quite helpful, but it also has the capability of creating custom reports to better suit your needs. Once created, you can save these custom reports for future use. Cons The only issue that I've encountered with QuickBooks, is sometimes when I've created a new vendor to my list it takes the system a little while to register them as added.
