Great experience.
I like functionality and breadth of options available at your fingertips
User permissions need some work. I have many employees working in the same program and some of them should have access to limited set of reports

We had an accounting firm that recommended it for expense reporting as well as bookeeping. It is NOT designed for that (too transparent / not enough control over access & flow for that). But as the central bookeeping account to integrate to those external softwares, it works well so far. I have not been able to integrate American Express but allegedly that's a common American Express issue and that's free so "you get what you pay for".
Cloud storage / syncing, fast load times are the most exciting to me. Custom reports & pay bills features make work efficient!
I find it fairly intuitive but there are some minor things that are not as intuitive in the menu navigation. The search is a bit wonky (sometimes displays duplicate transactions, but it's obvious because of identical timestamp).

It has been positive and have grown with some of the original products over my careers as an entrepreneur.
Ease of use and transition time. Already understood the functionality from prior versions.
Would like better support when you call in.

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).
- 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
- Less functionality than QB Desktop - A little pricey

Software is very helpful and easy to use especially if you don't understand the nonprofit exceptions.
Can become a little pricey as you build and continue services.
Happy Tuesday, and thanks a ton for reaching out with this review. It's affirming to read the program has been an especially helpful addition to your nonprofit. Since you mentioned price, I want to ensure you're getting the best value available for your organization. Rest assured, there are cost-efficient options in place, and it'd be my pleasure to discuss them with you. My inbox at QBCares@Intuit.com is open, and I have the tools to help. In the meantime, feel welcome to contact the product experts on Facebook (Intuit QuickBooks) and Twitter (QBCares) should you have questions. They're open M-F from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. EST. Until we chat again, take it easy! Jess, The QuickBooks Team

Quickbooks allows non-profits to easily store and manage their financial data. It is very easy to learn the system and, because of this, can be easily integrated in to the workplace. Overall, I think QB is a great system for nonprofits that are too small for a large system like Intacct.
The software is easy-to-use and intuitive. What I particularly like about Quickbooks is that there are several different ways to do a task. Financial information is very easy to enter, maintain and process. One of the best features of QB are the reports, which are very customizable and helpful for understanding who owes you, who you owe, etc. Finally, there are many add-ons, which is very helpful and would allow most non-profits to run an organization entirely through the program if they chose.
Quickbooks seems to be continually improving its systems and the company really seems to listen to customer feedback. That being said, there are several functions that can be frustrating. For example, undoing reconciliations. In addition, while the reports are very customizable, their features are not exhaustive.

The support staff help, overall the software does a pretty good job with most tasks I need to complete, but would be nice to include all the CRM features so I don't have multiple subscriptions
Really is the only software most CPA's are familiar with. Pretty easy to use and leave is mind that it's always backed up in the cloud.
Still doesn't do a great job as CRM, so have to get third party software that communicates well with this one

Quickbook is my sidekick to handle my finances to my business. I have been relying on it since 2001.
I enjoy that quickbook can be access through my computer or mobile devices. I also use Go payment to handle debit and credit card transactions. I even use quickbooks cash account as an additional bank account and have access with a debit card. Plus, it is able to intergrate with other programs like Square, Paypal, Venmo, Mailchimp, Shopify, E-commerce, Wix, Gmail, etc. the list is long.
Unfortunately, A lot of the feature are handle by third party like Quickbook Cash account are handle by Green Dot bank. Plus, Payroll is an additional fee to be included in the program.

Estamos en el negocio usando QuickBooks para resolver problemas todos los días. El seguimiento de la nómina es más eficiente que los registros en papel porque mi oficina no llevaban un buen control con las nominas.
Lo que más me gusta de QuickBooks Online Advanced es que le facilita a los contadores a hacer sus facturaciones . Las organizaciones hacen un seguimiento de las cosas que son más revelantes a la hora de trabajar y para mi es un buen sistema ya que soy independiente en mi trabajo.
Lo más inútil de QuickBooks en línea es que nadie está ahí para ti, pero la línea de soporte es absolutamente increíble, como si alguien estuviera ahí para ti. Su sistema de apoyo también es el número uno.

My company uses Quickbooks Nonprofit specifically for payroll services. It has certain features absent from quickbooks online. Namely the ability to use multiple classes for an individual. The software is very affordable and if you work for a small to medium sized nonprofit organization, this is probably the best value. The software is very user friendly, and even a non-accountant can be quite proficient.
The software is not easily transfered to other software programs. For instance, even when you export a report to Excel, it includes blank spaces between columns, and some include row headers in different columns. This makes some cleaning up necessary if a pivot table is desired.

The ability to have multiple people access QBO saves us alot of time. Different tasks can be assigned to different people and the workload is not just a burden to one person
The feature most missed is when editing an Invoice. The online version deletes all the data on an invoice when one edits it. I have to use third party software to resolve this issue.

Integrated with 3rd party vendor to handle raw inventory management.
We previously were on QBO pre 2016 and moved to Xero b/c QBO did not have the ability to process invoices in multi currency. We were told by QBO this had changed and so as a result paid to migrate back. HUGE MISTAKE YES - QBO will let you CREATE an invoice in multiple currencies NO - QBO will not let PROCESS an invoice in multiple currencies No where is their terms does it mention this.... https://quickbooks.intuit.com/ca/payments/legal-documents/canada-pricing-schedule/ Normally I would not take the time to write a review but am hoping by sharing our experience we might save other SMEs the aggravation of finding out this the hard way.

Good! Have used QuickBooks products for a couple of years now and it has helped to streamline business processes and ensure no invoice goes unpaid.
Fairly easy to use, can connect with bank, has app, lots of reports and accountant access. Also like the HR bolt on.
App is glitchy / freezes regularly. Cannot get an Average Invoice Value report.

We are happy with the product and the ability to better organize our business!
I use Quickbooks mostly for employee Payroll & Accounts Payable purposes mostly. After previously having to hand write all our checks for paychecks and invoices, Quickbooks now saves us the headache of that and allows us to better track our finances and expenses.
I was printing checks earlier in the week and found that after I added in all the employee check amounts that a button was pushed and all checks were marked as printed and completed, yet actually were not. I then had to go back in manually to do 15 checks, one by one. It's likely user error but was certainly much more time consuming!

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.
Quickbooks tends to slow down the laptop a touch.
Excellent and straight forward are descriptions we aim for, Sharon, and we love knowing this is what you think of QuickBooks! You can continue to depend on us to help with all of your non-profit's bookkeeping needs. We recommend this article to keep everything running at optimal performance: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/community/Getting-Started/How-do-I-clear-my-browser-cache-and-temporary-Internet-files/m-p/186420 Thanks for taking a moment to leave a review.

I love the accessibility from home, work, on the road. It has helped so much with our business. Compared to Desktop, I like the reconciliation process better through QBO.
Sometimes getting where I want to be, links aren't where I think they should be, or I can't find what I am looking for. But being a new user, I am still getting used to the layout compared to Desktop.

It's been great, this way we don't have as much paperwork clogging up the filing in the office and we are able to get jobs recorded faster. Also great from the office side as people don't always work in the same office so we can all work on it together and it doesn't create issues.
It is easy enough to use this when it comes to billing customers for the bigger projects. We can keep track of the expenses for the job sites and it's all tied into the same job so we don't have to go searching into different systems to see an overall view of how the work is going from the office side.
Sometimes the system can lag or you have to double click on boxes to put information in. When trying to get it done pretty quickly that can be a little annoying but overall not that big of a deal

We will continue to use this software for our business, it does everything we need it to do and the price is very reasonable.
QuickBooks is very simple to use! I needed a software to create and send invoices for the small company I work at. We have a small trucking company with 20+ employees and we work for over 50 different companies that we invoice almost daily. This software does everything we need
I wish there were a few more features for customizing invoices. I would like to be able to make my own custom columns that are more relevant for our business (VIN numbers, etc) You are pretty much stuck with the columns that are offered. You can pick and choose which categories to include on your invoice but you are unable to create your own.

Less data entry saving time to work on other things.
Easy importing from bank statements Attachment ability to all invoices and bills Layout of the program is clean and easy to use
No ability it do progress invoicing. This means having the ability to bill small portions of an estimate at a time.

I have used QB in either a desktop or online product for the last 10 years. I love the product and am excited to see its growth into the accounting market.
I like the ease with which you can set up and edit a chart of accounts and integrate with other apps.
I wish Intuit did a better job of providing training materials. Even though it is easy to figure most functions out, I want to make the most of the product.

Very user friendly software, and has been easy to implement and build with as our business has grown. I don't have an accounting background but have been able to navigate it without too much difficultly. Their support team is also very helpful.
Ease of use, especially being able to access remotely. Also easy to pull reports for grants, donors, board, staff, etc.
There are several mobile apps for QB, but I haven't found them to be as useful as I would hope.

Reports are what we strive on with our organization. This program can give you every report you can possible want that works for you.
I love how versatile this online product is. We seem to operate much smoother working from online. We are now capable of easily signing in from home and able to work from home.
Sometime the process of signing online can be difficult to some of our staff.

Quickbooks is a great options if you are not on a budget and don't mind paying for the features. Easy reporting tools along with the tagging system makes tracking easy.
QuickBooks has some great features. The two feature we used the most was the reporting tools and the tagging ability. Both these combines allowed us to create multiple reports to accurately track our accounts.
The biggest downside with QuickBooks is the fee structure if you want all the useful features you have to pay a lot for it, which I'm not sure it is worth.

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.
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.
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.
