Pros

“I like it’s financial reporting since with it we can get solid library of built in reports plus real time dashboards that makes it easy to track profit,expenses and cashflow without the need of our accountant.”

Nerisha B.

Senior Bookkeeper

“It is a reliable, cloud-based accounting system that handles core functions like invoicing, payments, and bank reconciliation efficiently.”

Jennifer H.

Service Billing Administrator

“QuickBooks Online is the central Financial Reporting and Invoicing program that I use in my Iron Door making company - it has been a great milestone with it.”

Christin M.

Business Owner

Pros

“Their team consistently delivers strong communication, reliable follow-up, and comprehensive VAT support across the UK and EU. Despite some delays, they remain transparent and responsive, making them a dependable partner for cross-border VAT compliance.”

Mutlu A.

Founder

“We were able to register the 5 countries that we urgently need for our business and can now continue to grow locally in these 5 countries.”

Joergen S.

Member of Management

“Very fast communication, good responsiveness, precise instructions regarding the documents, so that no additional documents were needed.”

Miha M.

Manager

Cons

“Limitations with check printing: can’t customize templates or account info, must buy pre-printed checks, which adds cost, risk of errors, and paper waste.”

Vanessa B.

Bookkeeper

“The pricing for add-ons and the massive jumps in cost between user tiers (e.g., $115 for 5 users vs. $275 for 25) is frustrating for scaling businesses. And honestly, it's super frustrating to know that they have features that I just don't know how to use, and likely need, but the free 'tutorials' are so basic—I feel like it's a terrible customer satisfaction approach to charge for classes to get the complete picture when I've been a subscriber for nearly 10 years.”

Jill R.

Owner

“I've asked about getting some of those reports but customer support says they don't have it. As someone that knows the accounting side of things the product can be frustrating to use because they block certain features or accounting procedures to try and help people not mess up their books.”

Brandy S.

Office Manager

Cons

“Due to a goods transfer to Poland, I am now facing significant trouble because Hellotax is apparently unable to submit my documents correctly or clearly explain where the problem lies. Since my Polish language skills are limited, I rely on clear and reliable support – but that is precisely what I am not receiving. Despite the high costs, practically nothing works.”

Christoph X.

managing director

“Stars. Despite our initial good relationship with Hellotax, since December 2024 they have continued to direct debit our bank account despite failing to file our VAT data or address the technological issues with their online platform that have prevented us from paying our VAT to the appropriate tax authorities.”

Anna W.

Finance Director

“Amazon integration does not work - there are errors mislabeling sales as inventory movement between amazon facilities and incorrect sales prices, which will get is in trouble with tax authorities.”

Timothy O.

Co-founder CEO
