Pros The ease of entry and invoicing along with the ability to attach a copy of the documents you need to keep track of. This cuts down on the need to keep paper files Cons The reporting is a little hard for me to make custom reports, but that is probably more me Review Source DL Dan L. Owner/CEO Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great but not" April 21, 2017 3.0 I have enjoyed using the product for the last 4.5 years. Just looking for the invoicing update so I can properly use it further again on all platforms. I am concidering on changing accounting software possibly next year. Pros The apperance and layout looks fairly clean. Navigation sidebar works well. The payroll feature works well. Cons I am still having issues with writing invoices where the parent name doesn't populate in the correct area of the invoice. Still have to make the changes manually. I have reported this 4 times to customer service over the last 4 years. Nothing has changed. Review Source Linda M.

March 12, 2019 5.0 Pros The software was easy to install, initially I bought offline and was sent a disk later. The program is easy to use as long as you know how to use it! Cons When buying the disk ,buy from a local store. Buying off intuit they send you the disk in a paper sleeve and well for the price you pay, I expected more. Review Source RD Richard D. Controller Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicksbooks is the one accounting software that is easy to use right out of the package and CPAs love when you use it!" January 14, 2018 5.0 I have used QuickBooks for the past 25+ years and the software has improved in ease of use over the years. Problems that I have had with the software have always been corrected with newer versions. Pros QuickBooks is easily customizable to any type of business and offers additional software for specific industry or organization types. The ability to go back and verify multiple years of financial statements is especially helpful when looking at historical data. Cons There are minor adjustments that need to be incorporated to deal with year end preparation of 1099s from system data. Review Source DM D. M. Owner/Office Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "QuickBooks Pro Plus 2018" December 5, 2017 5.0 Pros QuickBooks Pro is the perfect accounting software to keep me organized in the office. A quick look and I am able to see what invoices are outstanding, what bills need paid and what taxes are due. Very user friendly. Customer support has always been very helpful. Cons My husband and I own 3 businesses. I wish that there was a way to have at least 2 businesses open at once on a split screen rather than having to have multiple monitors on my desk or having to log out and log in each time I need to switch companies on one monitor. Review Source DH Debi H. Accountant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best value on the market " September 26, 2018 5.0 Overall great value gif the investment Pros Quick books has continually improved their suite of products every year since inception. Each version adds valuable features that save time and increase efficiency Cons The accounting periods do not close allowing novice users to make changes to transactions in the past. This can pose s challenge to accountants Review Source RA Robert A. Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best bookkeeping software around!!" August 7, 2021 5.0 Pros Very user friendly and easy to keep track of expenses. Really helps your company stay organized. Cons None .For what it's purpose is it is great. It doesn't replace a CPA auditor if that is what you think you will get out of it. Review Source KZ Kim Z. Chief Administrative Officer Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quickbooks helps me get the bookkeeping done quickly and effectively" December 7, 2017 4.0 QuickBooks Pro is the industry standard for small business. Other technology your company uses (like timekeeping software) will likely communicate with QuickBooks Pro with little or no effort. A great convenience! Pros Very easy to do keep up with all necessary functions: checking account reconciling, payroll (which I do 6 times/month), financial reporting, bill paying. Cons I do books for several entities and often switch back and forth. The program requires a complex password be entered every time an entity is opened in QuickBooks. This get's to be a pain with several entities. Review Source MMI Mirza Muhammad I. Chief Accountant Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Do Your Job Automated" July 21, 2018 4.0 Overall performance of accountant is improved with the use of this software. QuickBooks online version is much better than this. Pros Graphical user interface makes the accountant easy to interact with the services provided by QB i. e generate invoice, Enter Bill, Receive payments. Income tracker & Bill Trackers provide a quick breakdown of income & expenses. Cons Lack of Customer Support. Specialized Training Required. Poor invoicing templates. No Fixed Assets Management. It has only one electronic payment system which makes it failed for cost & benefit analysis. Review Source DJ Denise J. admin Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Worth it" June 25, 2021 5.0 We use it daily for basic bills, expenses but also to add a yearly budget and create classes to keep track of restricted grants. Pros Ability to ask questions on the internet and will almost always find an answer because so many people are using the software. Cons Im sure there is something disagreeable but I have not found it yet because i get let a lot of guidance online Review Source SA Said A. branch manager Building Materials Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Your time is your most important asset" February 22, 2023 4.0 He gave me the most important element in life, which is the time that makes you complete your life with comfort Pros Saving time is the most important part of this program, suitable for every time and every institution. Cons Good organization, easy of use and comprehensiveness of its models. Review Source YH Yusmery H. Independiente Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### ""Ideal para organizaciones benéficas sin fines de lucro"." February 7, 2023 5.0 Pros El acceso es cómodo y seguro. Se adapta muy bien al trabajo que vengo realizando. Cons Quisiera poder acceder a la libreta de direcciones al enviar informes a los usuarios. Reason for choosing QuickBooks Desktop Porque es muy cómodo y sencillo de utilizar Review Source PR Philip R. COO-Director Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It's a good software platform for small businesses. " October 19, 2017 4.0 Pros Friendly user interface makes it easy to pick up quickly. If you're looking to do basic invoice/ PO generation and some basic materials tracking, then it's good for that. You can do quite a bit more with it than that (it gives you pre-designed reports that are pretty standard, for example). The template forms editing/ creation is not really that great. Cons . Technical support is no longer domestic (America/ Canada) unless you purchase the Enterprise solution. It's really not great software for project based businesses. Review Source LS Laura S. President Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Have used and relied on this product for many years to run my business." May 8, 2018 4.0 Help with running business - keeping books, payroll, etc. Pros Within Intuit's QuickBooks product, the features are very streamlined. It offers most of the modules needed to effectively run a business, and in a way allowing for adding, or not utilizing, based on need. Cons Contrary to the company name, the product is not always intuitively easy to use. And the sales-orientation of the company coming right into the moment by moment usage of the product can get a bit annoying. Review Source Response from Intuit May 11, 2018 Thanks for your years of support, Laura. It's thanks to loyal customers like you that we're able to develop QuickBooks into what it is today. Since our Desktop software is frequently updated with new features, it can take some time to get familiar with it. It sounds like you have a good handle on the software. However, if you ever run into anything unexpected or want to get more familiar with a specific program feature, I'd encourage you to give our Community articles a look over (https://community.intuit.com/quickbooks-desktop). It's also possible stop certain messages and reminders from popping by performing these steps: 1) Log in to your company file as the admin in single-user mode. 2) Choose the Edit menu and select Preferences. 3) Select Service Connection from the left and then click the Company Preferences tab. 4) Clear the checkbox Allow background and downloading of service messages. 5) Click OK. Have a great business year! -Kristian, The QuickBooks Team DB Daryl B. Finance/Data Management Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid accounting software" August 24, 2021 5.0 Using it for all the A/P and A/R needs at my organization with total satisfaction. Pros The ability to create my own reports. Customizable chart of accounts. Easy to follow help screens. Cons Adjusting printouts for optimal viewing is tedious. Review Source HG Harold G. Solutions Specialist Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great accounting software" May 18, 2021 5.0 Great addition to our business and keeps the books balanced. Pros Easy to use, fast and great support. Infinitely customizable and compatible with all accountants. Can easily backup and transfer the data back and forth. Cons Can sometimes have a sluggish UI, there can be some lag when switching screens, even on the fastest and latest computer builds. Review Source PC Paula C. Controller Philanthropy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quickbooks Pro 18 continues to be the "can't be beat" competitor!" December 11, 2018 5.0 QB really can't be beat for price, ease of use and functionality. As long as setup, routine maintenance and review of the system is done by a qualified financial person, the day-to-day input, invoice generation, etc. can be easily handled at the clerical/owner level. Of course, your QB expert/accountant should always be available to handle ad hoc issues that arise, as well as to oversee the system and review the output. Pros QB is an extremely powerful tool that can accommodate a wide range of organizations of various sizes, including not-for-profits. It is quick and easy to learn how to input data into the various modules. The bank reconciliation function is readily learned, even if the user doesn't actually know how to do a bank reconciliation. The inventory module, which is included in the basic package, works well for uncomplicated inventories. Invoices, journal entries, etc. can be "memorized" to enable quick recording of recurring transactions. Because QB is so prolific, many other applications interface directly (for example, banking), making QB use even easier and saving more time. Cons Beyond data input, standard entries and bank reconciliations, QB is best handled by an accountant who understands the ramifications of non-standard journal entries, voids, memorized transactions, etc. Because the software is so flexible, it is easy to delete and change transactions. Setup and maintenance should be done by a qualified accountant who is familiar with the intricacies of the system. QB likes to say that this software is user-friendly, and it is, to a point. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you won't need an accountant if you use QB (or any other accounting software, for that matter). Review Source JM Jenna M. Communications Manager Philanthropy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pricey But The Best Out There" July 28, 2018 4.0 It has a great name and reputation for a reason. It really can do it all from invoicing, tracking income and expenses, and budgeting. Pros Quickbooks deservedly has a great reputation in the world of bookkeeping programs. It has every feature, bell and whistle, that you could want in an accounting program. The customer service is wonderful and the training offered is also very helpful. Cons Quickbooks is not an easy program to learn and will require time and effort to learn. Also I do wish there was a mobile app option instead of just a desktop version. Review Source ML Minh L. Controller Philanthropy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Accounting made easy with Quickbooks Pro" May 26, 2016 5.0 Pros QuickBooks Online Plus is highly recommended as the best online accounting software for small business. Quickbooks Pro increase accuracy of accounting information, doing tax return with ease and grow your business. QuickBooks Online is very easy to start. With more than 150 third-party developers, QuickBooks can help small businesses improve in customer relationship management, time tracking, payroll payment, tax forms, e-commerce, email marketing and more apps are developing. Cons I like the ability of customizing some features from Quickbooks, however, more improvements are needed: - If I can import data from excel into the budget and actual report, it will be better. More customizable features for the budget and actual report. - The integration transactions from bank into Quickbooks are very useful, however it needs to be improved. It not really matches with customized chart of accounts. Review Source MM Melissa M. Accounting Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "qUICKBOOKS dESKTOP pRO" August 22, 2020 5.0 This is the first program of this type I have used and overall Have been very pleased. Pros This is very simple to learn. It is easy to navigate and understand. My favorite feature is the easy reporting that it offers. Cons I really don't have any negative concerning this program. Once I learned how to increase the font size on the page, I am pleased. Review Source HT Hiro T. Manager Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "For small business with 1 user only" June 7, 2021 4.0 Good for small business that requires one accountant or one user. It does the job. Pros Cheap and does the job. You can buy it in discounted price in Staples or retail. Easy to use, especially if you are accounting background. Cons Only for one user, if you want more users and collaboration, you should go web version. The integration needs improvement Review Source HG Hunter G. Owner Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Product - It's all in the setup" February 13, 2017 5.0 Quickbooks is a great program for a variety of uses in nearly every sector of business. Like I said in the title, it really is all in the setup. If you take the time to set up your QB account the way it needs to be set up for your business in particular, you will never have an issue. It's even potentially worth consulting with a professional to make sure that you have all of your business processes and needs programmed into Quickbooks to ensure ease of use and full functionality. Great program, multiple applications, great customer facing product, easy to brand and great integrations make Quickbooks a fantastic program. Pros Easy to use, multiple integrations for banking and other applications, invoicing, purchase orders. Cons Must take the time to set up exactly how you need it in order to get full function. Review Source MD Melissa D. President Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quickbooks Pro highly recommended" April 21, 2020 4.0 I like the program a lot. . . . just wish I knew more of the ins and outs. Pros Software program is very versatile. I use for billing, payroll, employee records, and a variety of reports. Cons I feel like I really need to take a class to be able to use the program to it's fullest capability. Just wish the classes weren't so expensive to attend. Review Source SM Susan M. Project Administrator Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Quickbooks Pro Review" April 12, 2017 5.0 I like the way Quickbooks Pro has the capability to integrate with other software like CRM software and other project management software which is a huge plus being in the construction industry. However, if I could change something about Quickbooks Pro, it would be a simple. For example, not being able to hit "Enter" key when searching in the Customer Center search bar is frustrating and time-consuming. It is inconvenient to have to drag, then click the mouse on the search magnifying glass symbol every time you want to search for an item. Pros It has the capabilities to integrate with other software like CRM software and other project management software which is a huge plus being in the construction industry. Cons Not being able to hit "Enter" key when searching in the Customer Center search bar. It is inconvenient to have to drag, then click the mouse over the search magnifying glass symbol every time you want to search for an item. Review Source WB Walter B.

Me simplificaron un montón mi facturación y seguimiento diario de los datos contables. Otra cosa positiva es el tiempo que me hace ganar el programa. Pros QuickBooks es simple de usar y fácil de configurar y usar en comparación con otro software de la competencia. Estos costes también son fácilmente asequibles para las PYME. Cons QuickBooks puede ser un poco confuso a veces. Soy nuevo en Quickbooks y, a veces, no es intuitivo buscar cosas o información, algo que valoro en un sistema.
