"So easy to use, definitely recommend."
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

Love that this is easy to use. I learned a few different bookkeeping softwares and definitely this one is the best one. The reports are easy to pull together and there are many of them as well.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

How some things are extra for example the payroll module, or payments via credit card as well. We have explored these options but, they are costly so we just stick without.

What problems is QuickBooks Desktop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Easy to keep track of all bookkeeping weather its receipts, payments, bills, etc its saved lots of time and everything is just so much more organized.

"Reliable and Easy to use!"
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

Having worked in accounting/bookkeeping for several years, I find the desktop version much more user-friendly than QBO. It's easy to navigate and the "help" section is actually helpful! My favorite feature for manual processing is the batch transaction entry option.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

I wish QBD was portable like QBO is. That's really all I dislike about it.

What problems is QuickBooks Desktop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Desktop Pro allows us to work easily with all our clients extremely well & print reports with ease. Seeing "where you are" in the process from the Accountant Center is critical and easy to do.

"Tax Time no worries"
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

We have over 50 employees between the church and the preschool. Before Covid-19 we had university part time employees and a lot of turnover. QuickBooks is such a wonderful software for keeping tax information up to date and very dependable The quarterly and annual tax filing is so simplified and accurate. Payroll every two weeks is easy and QuickBooks stays on top of the updates from the government

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

There isn't much I don't like about this software. There was a time when I hated it because if I had a question I was on hold forever to reach help. I could reach them via chat and sometime they could help me; but they could not remote like when you have a live phone conversation but the wait to reach them was horrible. However, they now have it set up where you request them to call you. That way you can work on other things until they called you. One thing that is aggravating some time is how long staff would take to "figure out the problem" as it seemed they were going through books to find an answer; however, they seem better trained now and especially when they access remote with your computer seem to be very knowledgeable. I guess my like and dislike seem to meld into I am very happy with this software.

What problems is QuickBooks Desktop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Right now I am not having any problems. In the past I needed assistance when I googled and could not figure out how to fix a problem. For instance, just yesterday a check "bounced" and I needed to enter the bank fee plus deduct the deposited amount from my bank account. I googled and followed QB's instructions and all was solved. Other times it has been having them help me remotely, like when I accidentally messed up payroll. Too much to give in detail but they knew exactly how to "delete" the payroll without harming my tax payments and then redo the payroll. Solved. I would have not had the confidence on my own to do that because I was worried how it would affect the taxes, but they knew it would not. Real relief!

"QuickBooks Desktop Pro Review"
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

QuickBooks Enterprise Desktop Pro makes it relatively easy to keep track of business expenses and revenue.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

I don't like that payments from Intuit are automatically processed and you can't initially note the date when the payments are deposited in my bank account. Have to go in and amend the date, including the dates associated with the fees that Intuit Payments charges. This becomes more complicated when you have lots of payments.

What problems is QuickBooks Desktop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Enables our company to accurately track expenses and revenues and do financial reporting. The benefits we realize over manually tracking this information is that it saves us time that we can use to generate revenues or develop new business.

"Bookkeeping Made Simple"
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

Manual bookkeeping used to be a full time job even in a firm as small as ours. With Quickbooks it is a part time job that frees me up to pursue other aspects of the business such as sales and customer relations. There are no more worries about mathematical errors since Quickbooks does the work for me. Also, filing taxes and reports are taken care of and are accurate.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

There is nothing I dislike about Quickbooks software. It has made my job easier and is accurate. Some of the functions are not applicable to my company so if I ever need to access irregular reports I sometimes have difficulty figure out where to go. The help function always walks me through these issues. So, though I may sometimes need to apply more time to a task when I am unfamiliar with it, in the end Quickbooks does help me finish.

What problems is QuickBooks Desktop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest benefit is the government tax filings and year end wrap ups. Quickbooks solves the problem of having to compile these reports and file with accuracy. Having the W-2's and year end filings taken care of assures me of proper and timely filings. My biggest benefit has been saving time with bookkeeping. Quickbooks has freed me up to be more involved in product development and sales.

"Desktop Pro is the professionals friend"
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

The most helpful aspect of Desktop Pro is it's robust reporting capacity. From basic, simple financial reports to complex and in depth analysis, this program will never fail to supply what you need.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

The speed and frequency of their updates can be a bit of an annoyance. Intuit likes to have updates push through right near month end time, or just as tax season is in full on mode.

What problems is QuickBooks Desktop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to run "CFO" type analysis for my clients through the reporting abilities. The cash flow projections are amazing, provided the client gives you realistic expectations. With the bank and credit card linked uploads for transactions, we are able to typically run a monthly of 800 - 100 transactions in less than 1 hour. This equals real bottom line dollars as we have monthly subscription pricing.

"QBD pro"
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

The most liked feature with qbd pro is that it suits the legacy users who are not familiar with qbo. Qbd licensing is cost effective when compared to qbo. Qbd extends the support for other external interfaces so that you can transmit the data from any accounting system to pay your invoices.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

Qbd always computes the price automatically and hence original data will be lost when transmitting the price from other accounting systems.

What problems is QuickBooks Desktop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our customers are able to pay their invoices using qbd seamlessly. They can also view their credits.

"QUICKBOOKS DESKTOP PRO IS GREAT"
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

The software is quite user friendly. I use the view open windows function for ease of referring to reports, detail, etc. I also like the multiple screen function that is now available. The report capabilities along with generating 1099's at the end of the year are great time savers.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

I wish we could reclassify transactions with this software, just as we are able to do when using the Accountants version.

What problems is QuickBooks Desktop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

I provide multiple clients monthly financial statements in a timely manner thanks for QB Desktop Pro. I am also able to issue annual 1099's in January with ease. I like being able to enter the vendor information including tax id numbers throughout the year.

What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

Quick books are indeed about being quick: in adding your custom information, creating a template for invoices and shipping lists, adding a company's logo, entering payments, getting a report of your sales. It is easy to set up up things and start working away.Also, good customer support.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

I wish there was a way to easily work on multiple invoices at the same time (to have a way of having multiple windows open).

What problems is QuickBooks Desktop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Invoices, entering payment information, managing customers information, generating sales reports.

"Great for multiple companies"
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

The simplicity of Quickbooks the software and how easy it is to input everything into each category. We chose this software so we could run multiple companies from one system with an easy way to move between them all and this is perfect. You can move between companies within minutes all on the same program. It works really well for us and out accountants. We can easily see what areas the business is spending more on and produce yearly budgets to keep us on track.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

Sometimes I find it can black out and need to be restarted and I am also frustrated at the lack of banks available for bank fees as this would be a real bonus for us. For me there are not many negatives for this software.

What problems is QuickBooks Desktop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are easily able to monitor our expenditure and income while being able to produce easy to read reports. The real benefits for us are how quickly we can produce mass invoices, this has really reduced my time to do these each quarter.
