Cons If you have a file that you want to duplicate to separate the type of account you want it to be placed under, it won’t allow it. Review Source GP Geoff P. General Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "While it can seem complex, it is a vital tool for any business." September 5, 2024 5.0 I have been using QuickBooks for about six years now. It was quite daunting at first because it did seem so complex. There are many features. Our usage has changed slightly over the years as we have moved some features to other software's that allow us to work more efficiently. Originally we used QB for all of the normal backend financial needs, inventory, work orders, job notes, estimates and much more. We slowly transitioned some needs over to a different software for jobs, work orders, deficiencies, quotes and even front counter shop usage. We still use QB for all of our financial needs, but QB and this new software can work together to provide service for all our needs. They talk to each other and work seamlessly together. As for QB by itself, I have been very pleased over the years and are completely happy with the performance and support we get while using the software. Pros When using QuickBooks correctly and to its upmost ability, I feel like the reports are one of the best features. You can run reports on just about anything you like based off how you use the software. From P&L to inventory and much more. I also really like how easy it is to add parts to be used for quotes. Quoting was super simple through QB. Cons One thing I don't like that isn't really a fault of QB is how it sometimes does not talk to other software's that we are using. It is setup in a way that is can, but we do have issues sometimes and need to run a few processes to push over invoicing between the two. Another thing that we aren't really excited for is being forced to switch to at least QuickBooks online as we have been using the desktop version. It looks like it is being discontinued here before too long and we will have to switch to online or lose our support for desktop. Review Source JK Jillian K. Operations Consultant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Small Non Profits still need the desktop version" October 31, 2024 4.0 I wish it would continue to be supported by QuickBooks and allowed for small non profits Pros Personally, I prefer Desktop over online due to the cost. Cons I am disappointed that it is no longer being supported by QuickBooks, especially for those of us with a small non profit budget. It isn’t feasible for everyone to be on the online version. Review Source SS Shaheen S. Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "QuickBooks review" November 21, 2024 4.0 Overall it is great for making and tracking invoices Pros Easy to make an invoice with hourly rates and track payments received Cons The request for access pop ups is annoying.

Accountant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Books Management" October 28, 2024 5.0 Overall I enjoy using the software to manage our books. Pros The ease of creating invoices and tracking when they are paid Cons Vendor management is difficult when combining vendors. Review Source KS Kayla S.

CPA EA Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Using Accountant's Desktop for 10 years. Worse now then ever." August 18, 2024 2.0 It has gotten much worse over the past 10 years. It is more expensive, and the product is worse. I could handle the increased cost if they just would have left it alone. All of the "enhancements" over the past 10 years have not enhanced my experience one little bit. The complaints on the QB forums with Accountant's Statement Writer have been ignored. When one of their team posts a reply, "It can be done":, it actually can't. Then we have to reply that the posted information is incorrect and won't work. Now... recently... they just provided an "enhancement" "update" which has interfered with the functionality of statement writer and client-ready payroll reports, both which export to Excel, and both of which will only work with different older versions of Excel. Yes... that's what Accountants want to do... try to find two different older versions of Excel so that you can get Quickbooks to function properly. A call to ProAdvisor Support actually made matters worse. So, I figured out the workaround and called back so that they could screenshot my computer and report the issues to the next Level 2 engineers. It took another hour to explain the problems, for which there is no fix. Why am I unpaid for debugging their software. With no apparent enhancement over the past ten years, they should have just left the program alone and charged a modest fee instead of doubling the cost and making the product worse. I am paying more for a lower-quality program, using the "Accountant's" version. By the way... I've been a CPA for decades... began my practice before hard drives were invented. This is now currently the worst software I have ever used. Pros Originally, I liked the cost, and it was functional. Cons Exporting important Accounting Reports to Excel. Some of those reports SHOULD be written into the software, just like other accounting software programs. An issue for 10 years on the forums that Quickbooks has continually ignored. Reason for choosing QuickBooks Desktop Switched from Thompson Reuters Creative Solution (not listed on the selection menu above) because their cost tripled. Went with QB since they are written by Intuit which also writes ProSeries, the tax software that I have used since 1995. Import function didn't work well, anyway, so that was pointless.
