Software Developer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ease and performant" December 1, 2024 5.0 Being on local network, accessibility was good with quick response. Pros Local setup and much secure. For a small team this is a great setup. Especially for us, as we wanted to integrate with our CRM software. Cons Remote access was an issue in this case.

Reliable, easy to navigate, I know it’s repetitive I’m sure but that’s important basic stuff! Pros How straightforward and simple things are! What I like most is specifically is being able to customize stuff exactly to my liking! Cons I would have to say the cost, that’s it though! The features are considerably worth that given I didn’t have issues Review Source SK Samantha K. Bookkeeper Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great business organizer! " October 22, 2024 5.0 I've always loved QuickBooks Desktop and have used it for many years for inputting purchase orders, invoices, taxes and payroll. The only complaint I have is when I had to update my version on a new computer and none of my older QuickBooks stuff would transfer over so it all had to be input again. Other than that, it's pretty straightforward. Pros What I like most about QuickBooks Desktop is the ease of use and the fact I can easily go back and forth between purchase orders and invoices. Cons Once upon a time I had an older version of QuickBooks and when I got a new computer I had to put a new version of QuickBooks Desktop on it and none of my previously saved stuff for my business would convert over to the new version.

It handles taxes and accounting very well! It's easy to enter and pay bill including via direct deposit. Pros I like the intuitive user interface and the ability to have several companies under the same license. Cons It's a bit sluggish to load at times and crashes or freezes occasionally. Switched from [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) The program was too expensive and had more features than I needed. Review Source JR Jo R.

Vice President of Operations Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software" November 9, 2024 4.0 All positive! The only thing we dislike is the ability to view our books remotely. Pros QuickBooks desktop is the most comprehensive accounting software that we’ve ever used for our small business. Cons The ability to log in remotely. At the very least the ability to review our books remotely. Alternatives considered [Tiller](https://www.capterra.com/p/176940/Tiller/) Reason for choosing QuickBooks Desktop Capabilities of the software versus the other software. Review Source JV Johnny V. Administrator Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for small businesses," January 26, 2025 4.0 QuickBooks is one of the most popular small company accounting systems on the market. Perfect for small enterprises. Pros Accessible from any device, including phones, tablets, and computers Simple to identify and correct errors/mistakes. Easy to check up consumer details. Cons Data is not constantly backed up, and you risk losing information. Lacks tools for designing invoices. Lack of important reporting outside of accounting Review Source EL Erin L. Office Administrator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "QuickBooks Desktop Ease of Use" October 16, 2024 5.0 Pros I really like the fact that it is easy to use. Ease of use and ability to get help when needed via the chat. Cons I really do not have any cons at the present time. I have been using it for over a year. Review Source MW Morgan W. Property Development Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "All of your companies finances in one place " February 27, 2025 5.0 Pros This app is the best app that I have used for keeping track of my companies finance. I love being able to see everything in one place. It makes us so simple to submit my tax return each year Cons I dislike that the mobile and web apps are slightly different and operate differently Review Source JJ James J. Marketing Ops Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Well designed tool - easy to use." January 9, 2025 5.0 Very satisfied and overall a happy user. Excellent for general bookkeeping. Pros Ease of use and reporting functionality are excellent Cons Can be laggy on windows which can be frustrating Review Source MA Matt A. Office Support Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quickbooks - Don't Be Fooled by the Name You Know" January 22, 2025 2.0 Awful. Support is awful, data backup functionality is awful, program navigation is awful, and the automatic updates aren't automatic in the least. Pros To be honest, not much. The fact of the matter is that QBD is the lesser of evils when it comes to business-use financial software. Cons The support by Intuit is awful. We were given no warning that with the sunsetting of the last box store version of QBD, so would be the support. We had a catastrophic event occur at our place of business, disrupting the local server, and when we were having issues recovering data, the Inuit team basically told us to pound sand because that version had been sunset. Review Source SB Steven B. Owner Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not bad bookkeeping software but some better options" November 7, 2024 4.0 Served it's purpose for the first few years and is a little clunky for a small owner operator business, but full of lots of features for the medium to larger business. Pros Much cheaper than the monthly online subscription, and was able to teach myself most of the functions necessary to do my own bookkeeping Cons No automatic back up like using the online version. A little confusing about where payments received or statement/receipts go to "unapplied funds" but then you have to select each payment in deposits. Balancing each account is not intuitive like in online version. If you don't create back up file, and have data loss (happened to me) it's a pain to recreate everything for a year. Also, if you run a mobile business like mine, you have to manually enter receipts and invoices. Review Source TL Travis L. Executive Director Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The first expansion " March 26, 2025 5.0 It’s been a good experience so far so good Pros I like everything about it tho it’s not primepay Cons It’s very time consuming and brand is off Review Source AH Anna H. Accountant Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for small businesses," January 26, 2025 4.0 One of the most widely used accounting programs for small businesses is QuickBooks. Excellent for small companies, Pros Simple to use and understand Flexible with third-party apps and well-integrated with other platforms delivers high-quality accounting reports Cons Absence of direct assistance from professionals Problems with file size and transaction volume restrictions Restrictions on the quantity of users Review Source DC Deb C. Publisher Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Happy QB User" January 20, 2025 5.0 I started using QB with no knowledge of accounting software. It is fairly easy to use and very accurate and reliable. Pros The software is easy to use for the beginner user. Cons The cost of this product, especially when compared with other products. Review Source EL Erica L. Bookkeeper Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "QuickBooks Desktop Rating... C" January 3, 2025 3.0 I would rate it a C. Good for very basic minimal use. Pros QuickBooks Desktop is good very personal or very small business use to keep track of expenses. Cons QuickBooks desktop will no longer be doing updates. And has to much room for user errors. If someone tries to do bigger bookkeeping in it and does not know how to do bookkeeping it can get messy. Review Source JM Jenni M.

Pros I liked how user friendly it was, and that I could access the tax information at the end of the year. How it had all my financial statements created and where to enter the amounts on my tax forms. Cons I liked least about QuickBooks desktop is the fact that I can only use one computer.

Review Source MW Margaret W. Artist Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Not User-Friendly for Beginners, but Great " March 31, 2025 3.0 Quickbooks is a very useful tool that can also be very overwhelming. You need to learn how to use the program to utilize it correctly. Pros It has everything you need to do your accounting.

Definitely easier to use.
