“I also like that it allows me to see my productivity level and allows me to compare my dockets for the existing month to my past dockets.”
SA

Shida A.

Lawyer

Cons

“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

“When I change charges/expenses to one it changes all of them even if I have set up rules. When doing payroll that is awful, I have to manually change them and pull a report to do so.”
KS

Kelly S.

Owner

Cons

“Only problems I have had in in regards to closing files errors and the time summary not lining up on the final invoices”
HN

Helen N.

Legal Assistant

“Log in delays and also freezing when finalizing invoices”
JP

Jordanna P.

Legal Assistant

“Printing is somewhat cumbersome with too many clicks on buttons.”
