Pros

Overall it is very simple to use and I like the transparency to do our transactions and great a report, I really like how easy and accurate it is to track donations and the donors.
I love the ease of creating invoices. It's very easy to get paid and I love that I get notified instantly upon getting a paid invoice.
It is very user friendly. I love the webinars that are available to help you navigate your way around the software.

Pros

User friendly design that is easy to learn and navigate, great for invoicing people as well as paying invoices, good organization of invoices and payments.
Quickbooks is the bread and butter of my business, it is the best accounting program I have used. I love that it continues to improve and allow more integration with apps and documentation programs.
The help on the team when getting this product was great, the features are honestly really great, I use it for payroll as well and it is really worth the cost.

Cons

My records were a jumbled mess, and the tech support was awful. They’d say someone is going to call , then that person would email instead.
I dislike being unable to undo batches of reconciliations to fix errors.
Doing a bank reconciliation is more complex than the desktop version. There was a problem with the AZ withholding and they have never fixed it.

Cons

Submitting hours for the wrong week unintentionally can be frustrating because there is no way to reverse it without supervisor permissions.
The customer service is terrible. I usually get forwarded from person to person because I'm in the "wrong department," but I know it's because the person just doesn't know the answer.
No recourse through customer service. Data is held hostage as leverage for stopping cancellation of unauthorized charges, ie: sure you can cancel but we're not sure what will happen to your data.

QuickBooks Online Review

Reviewed 2 years ago

Over multiple software I tried, I concluded that it's the best to use for financial record ( we have been using Quickbooks desktop enterprise and SAP )

Pros

How easyyou can create invoice and receipt, and how easy is to imlement. Most importantly is that all data are on the cloud so they are protected. also the technical support are very helpful and easy to reach.

Cons

The formats of print template, it's very hard to create a custom template specially if you are trying to create A5 template as in my case

Was not impressed

Reviewed 8 months ago

Eh, not impressed. I like Quickbooks Desktop version 100 times better.

Pros

It is very user-interface-friendly. It looks good on the front and back end of the invoicing and billing.

Cons

It does not have nearly as many features as Quickbooks Desktop, or I just couldn't find them. It would be good for a simple, small business.

The transition from Quickbooks Desktop to Quickbooks online has been smooth. We are navigating and learning as we use it today today.

Pros

I like using the batch invoices feature. It makes creating the same invoices easier. It saves time and makes less room for mistakes.

Cons

I like the software. But some of the features and functions are difficult to find, but once you find them and are able to customize your dashboard, it becomes extremely easy.

Not a Quickbooks Online Fan:(

Reviewed a month ago

We use Quickbooks to maintain our general ledger and run financial statements and pay bills. We have a separate software system to manage patient accounts and patient billing.

Pros

It's internet based. Saving reports in Excel is much faster.

Cons

Quickbooks Desktop was much more logical and easier to use. Quickbooks Online looks and functions much differently from the Desktop version. They changed everything....mostly for the worse. All the screens are different; the menus are all different; the reports are all different. Whoever designed this software knew little of accounting and how accountants work. Everything takes longer in Quickbooks Online than it did in Desktop....except saving reports to Excel.

Converted Desktop User

Reviewed 4 years ago

I was a 14 year QuickBooks Desktop devotee and thought that I would hate using QBO. I have been converted and would recommend that all Desktop users at least take a look at QBO with an open mind.

Pros

The QBO software is sophisticated yet simple to use. It can keep track of as little or much of your business as you need. The software is not intimidating for the new user but also not so "dumbed-down" that a long time accounting professional will feel they are using a beginner product.

Cons

There are only a few small functionality items that slightly bother me but don't prevent me from utilizing the software completely.

Overall Solid Product

Reviewed 4 years ago

We switched from QuickBooks desktop to QBO over a year ago, and have been quite happy with the product. The ability to access our QuickBooks data from anywhere, anyhow is a great benefit to our business. Our biggest hurdle is the lack of inventory tracking by location.

Pros

Remote, web-based access; unlimited chart of accounts, products/services, categories and locations.

Cons

Inventory tracking with multiple locations is non-existent.

Reviewed 3 months ago

I truly enjoy a cloud environment and the ease of some things in QuickBooks Online Advanced, but I have found my clients that need more features are better off finding a remote server to cloud host QuickBooks Desktop as the features in Advanced are lacking and clients are able to much more easily mess up their data in QBO.

Pros

I enjoy that it is cloud hosted and can be accessed from anywhere

Cons

It is VERY easy for clients to get their files messed up within QuickBooks Online Advanced. Without proper set up help, it can be a mess to come behind and try to help clients.

Good Accounting Software

Reviewed 6 years ago

If your company is starting out. You can't go wrong with Quickbooks. Most if not all Accountants and CPA firms are experts at using Quickbooks.

Pros

Great for Non-profits or small businesses starting out. Simple to use. Most widely uses bookkeeping software.

Cons

It is not cloud-based.The software cannot upload receipts. In a paperless era that we are in this would be a vast improvement to have. I wished Quickbooks Online had the same features and functionality as the desktop version. However, it does not.

Well-built Accounting Software

Reviewed a year ago

Quickbooks Online Advanced is a highly streamlined product that is easy to use and understand for non-accountants. I switched or upgraded several clients to Quickbooks Online Advanced based on their needs and comfortability with the software. There is a lot of flexibility for business owners to get what they need out of it but there are more limitations of the "super advanced" features that Quickbooks Desktop has for accountant's use. Being able to access files from any computer with an internet connection is really convenient which easily allows you to work from home (or anywhere).

Pros

- Easy to learn and use - Teachable with low-effort - Great for non-accountants - Bank Feeds offer great efficiency - Accessible from any computer with an internet connection

Cons

- Less functionality than QB Desktop - A little pricey

You probably don't need it

Reviewed 5 years ago

Unless you really need the non-profit specific features, just get Quickbooks premier and choose non-profit as your industry. You'll get some of the customization of the non-profit version and save money.

Pros

It changes some of the standard Quickbooks features to be non-profit specific, like changing invoices to be called pledges and renaming some reports. That can be helpful so everyone (staff, board, accountant, auditor, etc) is on the same page when talking about things.

Cons

Regular Quickbooks is cheaper. If your accountant uses Quickbooks and your organization uses Quickbooks Non-profit, they can't export your data and work on it with their software, they'll have to use yours.

Quickbooks Online Advanced Review

Reviewed 4 years ago

We are a multi-location theatre and school. Our directors and managers and board members need to have access to reports about each show and its success, our donations and fundraising efforts and our expenses in real-time in order to make decisions quickly. The ability of the QBO to allow this real-time access is something we have come to rely upon. The difficulty we have is with data input. We have had to hire a person just to input our deposits from our enrollment system and cc processor by hand, so that we can class them correctly.

Pros

That it is accessible by many people in our organization in real time and that access is customizable by user. It has many of the desktop features that we like, including the ability to use a lot of classes and accounts and customizable reporting. I love being able to have many windows of it open in order to compare between accounts or items I am working on.

Cons

I have worked with Quickbooks since the 1990s and therefore am a desktop user. I am used to the keyboard shortcuts and the ability to upload data for invoicing, deposits and journal entries. That minimal columns can be uploaded is really frustrating and it is time consuming to hand enter items, especially if our processors don't download their data to QB. I do not like that I cannot use a desktop version to clean up items in the online version. I really liked the accountant versions in desktop.

Easy to use, just needs to work on frequent glitches

Reviewed 4 years ago

Overall, it is a great software for smaller companies. Maybe because my company is rapidly growing, QuickBooks may no longer be a good fit for it. I think it's very easy to use for anyone, even people who don't have bookkeeping or accounting experience. QuickBooks should work on fixing the frequent glitches and errors.

Pros

I like that the software is very easy to use and user-friendly. When I joined my company, I had no prior experience to using any kind of accounting/bookkeeping software and had no issues with picking up on QuickBooks easily. Pretty simple to pull the information you need, ideal for a small-to-medium sized company.

Cons

My biggest complaint with this software has to be the glitches. My company heavily relies on QuickBooks and it is a daily part of my work. We often have issues with QuickBooks not loading properly, getting error messages such as "504 Gateway Time-out", having to switch between the desktop app and the browser version because one or the other is not working. Because these issues impede on my daily work, I can't give this software a higher rating.

Excellent Software

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

Quickbooks Nonprofit is an excellent software. Granted it does take a while to learn how to customize individual reports, but I have been using it for years and it I can't think of a more straight forward software to use for nonprofit clients.

Cons

Quickbooks tends to slow down the laptop a touch.

Vendor response

The industry leader in small business and church accounting

Reviewed 5 years ago

Using QuickBooks was a no-brainer. We were overseas on a missions assignment and used QB to keep track of our financials. We could save a backup on a shared folder and the secretary in the US could import that back-up into her QB. Thus, our financials remained accountable and accessible by the home church.

Pros

Quickbooks offers powerful reporting options that are customizable.

Cons

It can be difficult to navigate and setup if your business is complicated.

Easy to use

Reviewed 4 years ago

I am completely self taught with keeping books in my business. Quickbooks online has made this even easier than any desktop version. I have been using Quickbooks online since it first came out and I am pleased with the continual progress and improvements made to the system. I feel the fees are very reasonable, but I do take advantage of many of the features. Payroll is the best feature. It saves time and money. I would never want to use an outside source unless I no longer had to do any bookkeeping myself.

Pros

Easy to set up and use. Help section is very useful. Most everything is intuitive to figure out. It is great to access information from anywhere and anytime. Mobile access is good. The Pay Now feature with invoices is very nice and eliminates the need for credit cards.

Cons

CHAT feature is hidden deep in trouble shooting.

quickbook online reviews

Reviewed 7 months ago

I enjoy using Quickbooks Online every day. Just a small red flag, I had a problem with integration. The QuickBooks integration of our bank was giving me trouble. Most small business software with financial functions, including Quickbooks, interfaces with it.

Pros

We have access to several user-friendly tools under QuickBooks online, from which we may predict company results with ease. These features are simple to use and comprehend as well.

Cons

On sometimes, we are abruptly logged out of QuickBooks. This is the one area I believe QuickBooks should focus on, thus I would advise against focusing on anything else. A warning that your QB will log out in a specific amount of time should always be present.
