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.”
NB

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

“What I liked least about QuickBooks Online is its limited customization and occasional performance issues. While the platform is user-friendly, it can feel restrictive when trying to tailor reports or workflows to more complex business needs, especially across multiple entities.”
MM

Maria M.

HR Manager

Pros

“I also appreciate the self-service functionality, which allows employees to view and manage their payroll information without needing to contact HR.”
JV

Jordan V.

Sales Specialist

“Integrations such as ROE processing, CRA payments, T4 filing, Warnings, and a stellar service department makes payroll a great tool box.”
LP

Lisa P.

President

“Payworks has leveled up me productivity when submitting payroll, and has allowed me to focus my time and energy into other aspects of my business.”
BH

Brittany H.

Owner

Cons

“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

“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.”
VB

Vanessa B.

Bookkeeper

“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.”
BS

Brandy S.

Office Manager

Cons

“I dislike that some of the drop down menus cannot be accessed by "smart search" of putting in the first two or three letters of a name, you have to scroll through one at a time.”
MS

Margaret S.

Accounting and Payroll

“My only complaint would be that I have a bunch of clients using Payworks and I have a different service rep for each client”
SM

Shauna M.

Bookkeeper

“At the beginning, I found it a bit difficult to navigate the sidebar and figure out where everything was.”
