### "Le meilleur à ce jour !"

October 1, 2025

5.0

J'adore QBO pour Comptables car cela nous permet d'offrir un service de qualité à nos clients. Plusieurs fonctionnalités accessibles seulement pour les comptables nous donne un avantage concurentiel.

Pros

Premièrement il est gratuit pour les comptables en version AVANCÉE (notre comptabilité, la paie et le suivi des heures). On peut apporter des corrections sans affecter (la majorité du temps) les transactions rapprochées. Permet de faire la vérification des livres comptables.

Cons

On ne peux pas corriger l'imputation de transactions en lots lorsque celles-ci sont liées à un produit. Je ne doute pas que cela va venir.

### "A great time saver "

May 6, 2026

5.0

The software does save time doing daily routine. The manager reports are great which you can run and send out within minutes.

Pros

The ease of posting invoices and recall feature are time saving. The auto posting makes posting payment very easy. A feature is the bank downloads upload which saves time posting payments and the match feature is great. Bank rec can be done within minutes.

Cons

The feature to expand on a transaction as times gets expand. One need to reload the report for it to expand

### "Former business owner still uses Quickbooks"

November 15, 2025

5.0

QuickBooks online is user friendly and easy to navigate. I used it as a business owner and now use it as an employee of an accounting firm. My experience with accounts payable and payroll has qualified me to work as a bookkeeper based entirely on my experience using QuickBooks.

Pros

Ease of access and user friendliness. It is also a good value for the all the options available to the user.

Cons

Customer Support is difficult at times. It is hard to talk to a live person before going through all kinds of steps and help/FAQ articles.

### "Great for make sure each payment is on time!"

August 4, 2025

5.0

Pros

What I like most is the option to organize my payments by whom they need to go to and when they are due. Too many payments fall through the cracks because names tend to be similar.

Cons

It would be useful if there was a top to handle more complex payroll. We have set dates for percentage payments for different bonuses and t have to work out the precentages myself.

### "Efficient & easy to use!"

December 3, 2025

5.0

Pros

I like that I can send an invoice through QuickBooks just by using my client's email instead of having to email the invoice myself. I really like that I can see all transactions and expenses linked with the client account.

Cons

I like everything. QuickBooks is faster than other software for accounting. It lets me know right away when the accounts need attention. More efficient and accurate.

### "Success Begins Here with QBO Accountant"

October 3, 2024

5.0

Overall, phenomenal. Extremely happy to have been able to experience QuickBooks Online Accounant. Thanks again.

Pros

This is a difficult question because the overall product in its entirety is phenomenal. I love it all. For the sake of specifics the ProAdvisor Benefits & ProAdvisor Training sections are the most memorable that I enjoy. The Accountant Tools and its variety of options is incredible as well. As I meantioned early, the product in its entirety overall is extremely phenomenal. Shout out to all of Intuit's members that made it possible.

Cons

The fraud teams poor judgement and closing of my accounts on multiple occasions causing me the loss of progress and forcing me to restart from ground zero.

I am happy overall with QuickBooks, and have found it fairly easy to use, even though I'm not an accountant.

Pros

This makes it easy to manage our finances from online anywhere. Being able to check on things from home is great.

### "Best accounting software to provide accounting and bookkeeping for my small business clients."

September 20, 2022

5.0

Overall I have had a good experience with Quickbooks Online Accountant. It has definitely improved over the years in functionality and continues to get better.

Pros

I like that it is widely used & accepted by many small businesses and that he price is good for myself and my clients. I also like the integrations with the bank feeds and other apps which makes recording transactions a breeze. The step-by-step instructions which can be found with their online support is very useful and shareable with clients when they need to know how to do something in Quickbooks. I like the Accountant Tools features because it helps me to make corrections and changes much easier & quicker. I also really like the newer Books Review page. It helps me to clean up client books and message them with questions directly out of Quickbooks. I like that it is cloud based so there is no longer fear of a clients books getting lost on a damaged computer or network. Also, it allows me to be able to provide accounting services to my clients from home no matter where they are located.

Cons

There are a few quirks with some of the newer features of the software, but I am sure those will get worked out. I also have not had a great experience with the phone support team. Sometimes they are able to help, but I have been steered wrong by support in the past and ended up figuring out the fix on my own after spending a long time on a call with support.

November 14, 2022

My overall experience with QBA has been rewarding and satisfying. So far the software has lived up to my expectations.

Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Accountant

QBOA met all my requirements. It was a popular software than needed little promotion as many of our clients were familiar with the software and their support to Bookkeepers along with the fact that they provide QBOA at no cost to bookkeepers was a real incentive. The main reason for using QBOA was the fact that once you qualify as a QBO Pro-Advisor, they help promote your business and put your out their as a certified QB advisor.

Logiciel complet qui permet autant de faire la comptabilité de base que les clients plus complexes (avec inventaire, projets, lieux, etc). Il est intuitif et simple aussi pour le clients.

### "No undo features very easy to mess up a years worth of book-keeping with one mistake"

May 22, 2023

4.0

I enjoyed the first year, but in the second year Quickbooks could not handle the workload and many errors started. I lost a year's worth of bookkeeping and accounting history.

Pros

It's fast for a cloud accounting option. It easy to get started but it can become overwhelming very quickly.

Cons

No undo features make it very easy to mess up a year's worth of book-keeping with one mistake. I learned the hard way. The online and call-for-help customer support is completely useless.

### "Best product out there for the job that bookkeepers do"

April 12, 2022

5.0

I love QBO Accountant! I tried a few other bookkeeping software, but none compare to this workhorse.

Pros

I love that this software lets you do full-service bookkeeping, from categorizing transactions, to adding additional layers such as classes and locations, reconciling statements, connecting other apps, and fantastic reporting!

Cons

The customer service is hit and miss, and usually takes a few hours to resolve any problems. Thankfully I don't need to contact them very often.

Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Accountant

Xero was very difficult to learn, plus I didn't feel like Americans were confident in using it, and Wave was very limited in the reporting and time saving tasks.

### "QuickBook Online Accounting Software Personal Experience"

September 4, 2022

4.0

We've started the software in January 2020 but decided to shift to other software because it wasn't fulfilling our organizational need. so the experience with quickbooks online version wasn't good for us.

Pros

It's ease of use and the customer support is great. Also basic level reporting is good.

Cons

In the start, it looks great to use but with the passage of the time we came to know that there are many missing. Specially Advance level of reporting system. You can't customize the reporting according to your organizational need. Plus, Inward Gate passes and Outward Gate passes were missing. You can not integrate with sms gateway. Customers & Vendors ledger formats were another big issue because you can't customize them according to your organizational need. They need to Improve inventory section too because unable to track record of daily issuance there.

### "I have never hated a piece of software more in my life"

January 22, 2023

1.0

Constant glitches, Constant errors, constant investigating into why QBO is failign me, constant sync issues with my bank, constant reentry and correcting of data, constant hesitation to trust anything this software is telling me, constant confusion with little understanding of the problems by support staff.

Pros

Support is quick and responsive all the time which is it's only saving grace.

Cons

Relying on a software that is online only means that if there are glitches or errors because of it's network or code executed in a webpage, this critically damages your books. Frequently quickbooks online will say that everything is correct and up to date when in reality there are numerous sync issues and entries duplicated by system glitches, also the fact that it ignores currency conversion means that what you had expected as correct is wrong and ensures you have hundreds of days of investigating to do to track down issues.

April 25, 2022

I am very happy with Quickbooks Online Accountant. I used to offer my clients the option to do their books in other software, but I have decided that due to my preferences, I will only work in QBO now.

Pros

My favorite thing about Quickbooks Online Accountant software is the centralized dashboard that lets me see all my clients. I also love the ability that it gives me to message each of my clients from within the software.

Cons

I just wish that there weren't always so many issues with bank feeds breaking. I spend too much time every week trying to fix these issues and often have to manually upload bank feed data.
