QuickBooks Desktop Pro Reviews & Product Details

QuickBooks is the gold standard in small business accounting software. It is extremely user friendly, comes with great reporting tools, and has many tools to automate processes and reduce your day to day work. The ability to integrate with other software platforms is amazing, especially payroll and payment processors.

Sometimes QuickBooks can be over automated to the point that it is restrictive. There have been some situations where we couldn't enter transactions exactly the way we needed to in order to meet our internal accounting policies. This most often related to either employee credit cards or accounts receiveable where a portion of the invoice was held until the end of a contract.

QuickBooks allows us to get out of Excel and have a single source of truth for accounting and receiveables/payables. It automates a lot of workflow and significantly reduces processing time.

I like that you can see all your outstanding invoices, print and mail statements to customers. All a description of the services provided is included.

I have no dislikes with this product. The product is efficient, and gives a full breakdown of each item and price. When a customer request another invoice it's that easy to attached it and email.

Allows you the ability to see what's due and days sales outstanding.

Quickbooks is known as the gold standard in accounting software. I love the flexibility and customizability, allowing you to make it fit your business needs. I prefer the desktop version to avoid the subscription fee.

Quickbooks has a steep learning curve. Find a competent accountant who can help you get it set up specifically for your needs. Once correctly set up, it is a breeze to enter the necessary data.

I use Quickbooks to track my income and expenditures from several small businesses. My accountant loves when I hand her all the necessary reports at the end of the year!

I like that Quickbooks Desktop Pro is available when I need it, regardless of whether or not I have internet service.

The desktop version is not as portable as the online version. You are tied to the device that it is installed on.

Quickbooks Desktop Pro helps me track my business finances and makes creating reports for my CPA a breeze.

It has everything I need to calculate the math, etc. in order to have an accurate accounting of whom to pay.

Sometimes I find the software too slow when using it

I use it for all of my financial needs, such as accounting, payroll and bills.

Integration options with our POS system and Quickbooks

Paying monthly fee for each payroll check we issue, even after we pay have purchased the payroll subscription

tracking payroll taxes and tracking all the checks and deposits. Helps keep track of inventory amounts

There is more function for accounting than there is on the online version. Also, I am in control of my data.

I would like to see better mobile syncing. Also, I see why but don't prefer that they are going to a subscription model. With the subscription model I can see that you would be getting full on support, but for some small businesses the increase in price would make or break them.

The benefit is that I know the accounting of what is going on in my business. The problem that it is solving is just learning how much is coming in and spent monthly.

Ease of use and ability to give you the information you need to run your small business.

There is a bit of a learning curve when you start using it. Some reporting is hard to customize to your exact needs.

It is relatively easy to keep track of your company's finances. It has been a reliable platform for our use.

Easy to use and understand, helps keep everything organized

Too many options to learn and is very hard to learn on the front end

Organization

Easy to use, once you get the hang of it, customer friendly, detailed

the customer service needs to be better, it is almost impossible to get anyone to help unless you are trying to buy something

Payroll and reports, it does help that all the taxes are calculated
