Pros

“The best aspect of QuickBooks Online Advanced was its powerful reporting and automation capabilities, which made financial management more efficient and provided better visibility into business performance.”
LL

Lynne L.

Manager

“For its robust scalability and efficiency tools, specifically superior custom fields, batch invoicing, and automated workflows that save time.”
KR

Kina R.

Regional Property Manager

“It smoothly connects to bank accounts, organizes expenses, and pulls together reports without much hassle, which makes staying on top of finances far less stressful.”
ST

Shayne T.

Co owner

Pros

“The cost of accounting suite is the biggest pro- it is very inexpensive, especially for a large client who has a lot of different accounts to manage.”
AJ

Amanda J.

Controller

“extra work when year end comes and a customization (export) of data must be undertaken”
DB

Cons

“QuickBooks Online Advanced can get expensive quickly, especially for small or mid-sized businesses that may not fully use all of its features.”
JC

Jeremy C.

Estimator

“If you have no issues because you are a simple business and have very simple accounting, you can get a decent experience and good value for what this software offers. If you are more advanced and actually care about what your chart of accounts looks like and want to customize it with account numbers and change the default names, beware. If you also want to have control over what get classed where and use accrual basis of accounting where you regularly enter journal entries - my experience is that you will be frustrated from time to time with the system creating new accounts, duplicating accounts and chainging the field mapping in a way where one day you wake up and realize that your Payroll Liabilities are a complete mess with duplicate accounts and inconsistent entries.”
AD

Andras D.

President

“My least liked aspects of QuickBooks Online Advanced are its high monthly cost, steep learning curve, and limited functionality compared to the desktop version.”
KR

Kina R.

Regional Property Manager

Cons

“This software is very different than QuickBooks, it is not as user friendly for the everyday business person, I had a hard time getting clients on board with the software.”

“Therefore, there has been a learning curve to understand some of the features with this program. With that said, some of the features I am not using are not important to me at this time.”
