We use QuickBooks integrated with Procore Construction software, and the two work pretty well together

I enjoy the classic functionality of the software. Creating copies of journal entries during month end helps save a lot of time. The ability to click through the GL journal entries within the P&L and Balance sheet reports is extremely helpful.

As our company is expanding and we have multiple users online, I can see that we are reaching our capacity in QuickBooks. I struggle with editing an important entry or doing a bank rec and then QuickBooks will shut down and I lose my progress.

The most helpful feature of QuickBooks Desktop Pro is that it is very flexible. It is easy to configure invoicing, banking, expenses, employees, reports and taxes in QuickBooks. However, the most appreciable quality of QuickBooks is that, unlike other ERPs, it is very easy to implement. Maintaining QuickBooks is easy and doesn't require a dedicated support team. One best thing about QuickBooks Desktop Pro is that it is moderately priced, and its pricing plans suit startups and small-sized enterprises. To get such a robust accounting engine at that price point is impossible. Compared to its competitors, QuickBooks offer better accounting reports, product support, and system stability.

The one thing that QuickBooks finds challenging to handle is the high volume of master data. QuickBooks works perfectly with fewer suppliers, customers and transactional data. While QuickBooks realise most bookkeeping features, it doesn't offer many third-party integration opportunities. One scope for improvement in QuickBooks is that it can provide workflow customisations.

QuickBooks is at the core of our accounting process. The entire R2R record-to-report process is done in QuickBooks. The benefits we have reaped from utilising QuickBooks are numerous, our accounting software licensing costs have been reduced, and the cash flow visibility has increased many folds. QuickBooks Desktop Pro is a cloud-based accounting engine, and it can be accessed from anywhere, anytime, from any device, which has boosted productivity. QuickBooks Desktop Pro is a powerful software that accurately tracks income, expenses, and payments and has helped increase our business performance with its speed and accuracy.

Easy to navigate around, especially for beginners

Sometimes runs slow, especially for larger files

Payroll and invoice processing with ease

Cost is the biggest factor. The ability to utilize multiple company files without having to pay for additional installations is great. It is, of course, a powerful accounting tool and, with a talented bookkeeper, can account for any small/medium business.

Their subscription model is ridiculous and now a cash grab. I understand if you want to do it for online products but you're essentially taking desktop software without all the features and adding crippleware.

I am accounting for my non-profit organization. It is a great product and I have used the software (in many different versions) for over 18 years. I have also taught courses on QuickBooks as well.

It get's the job done in my opinion. It is not overly complicated to use and automate certain portions. We had the Pro Plus version and it did everything we needed it to.

With how basic it was, it didn't provide all analytical information we were hoping for.

We have been able to maintain our books cleanly and been able to provide accurate numbers to our management.

The most basic of functions are easy to use and navigate to and from

The Reporting is challenging to pull and is not logical unless you are an experienced accounting user

AR/AP and Payroll. It is possible to utilize it for multiple companies.

Quickbooks Desktop Pro does its job in a very reliable way. The downtime is less than 1 percent!

Being somewhat old school, I like live tech support. Although help is plentiful with articles, sometimes you need a guiding live hand!

The problems solved with Quickbooks Desktop Pro are too numerous to list, but here are the main things: Track materials costs, labor costs, and most important for our company, Job profitability!

all customers in one place, can run reports, do payroll

database not always showing number especially if it is in mobile filed, limited reportability, does not show monthly totals, can not charge orders

run report by product name, keep track of orders

I like that I can keep all my accounts and numbers organized in one place. Also, the ability to run reports on projects, etc.

It is sometimes difficult to create a report with the specific details you want/need. Sometimes I have to export to Excel and "customize" the report to my needs.

I enjoy being able to store all our information on the Quickbooks "cloud". It is really easy to back up company files

Ubiquity of the software; there are many users of the program that it is easy to get tutorials and books on the software.

Support services are difficult to get. There is a limited time between purchase and the amount of customer support ones receives.

Getting accounting done on a non-customized software packages. The benefits are that it is less expensive, does not require an IT department, and is easy to install and use.

It helps in better integration of other apps. It has better reporting feature. Quick book is best among accounting software in terms of book keeping. Easier the process of payroll management, inventory management, maintaining vendors/supplier accounts.

Their is no remote access to the software. Its little expensive also.

It helps in better inventory management. It extract the summary of inventory received, issued and consumption.

I've been using Quickbooks for my content marketing business for the past 3 years. It's intuitive, easy to understand, and helps me stay on top of my business income, expenses, and estimated taxes. I really appreciate the fact that it estimates my quarterly tax payments. Saves me a lot of time every quarter. It's very simple to categorize my expenses. And I love the invoicing feature. I can also upload all my information straight to my tax software, which is a huge plus come tax season.

A couple downsides: the estimated tax payments tend to skew too big every quarter. I appreciate the fact that they are not too small, but I wish they were more accurate. Also wish that the software could give me an estimation for state taxes — I have to do this manually myself. I also recently ran into an issue where I was locked out of my QB account for no reason and had to pay for a subscription to get back in. That was a pain.

QuickBooks saves me a lot of wasted time that I previously spent doing manual calculations. It saves me from underpaying on my taxes. And, it helps me to send out my invoices on time every month, since the process is as easy as clicking a couple of buttons

I like that QuickBooks does most of the work for the bookkeeper. It also has various reports and is simple to use. QuickBooks Desktop Pro is user friendly and allows our clients to learn accounting and how to do bookkeeping when they have had no previous training in accounting.

There are few things that I dislike about QuickBooks. It has made my job easier and our clients as well.

With QuickBooks Desktop Pro, my clients are able to keep up with their financials in a way that is helpful for us as their tax accountant. It also makes pulling reports a breeze for when tax season comes around.

QB allows you to keep everything you need in one place. We use Quickbooks to show what comes in and out of our accounts, by adding payroll into it as well as our clients information so we can send out estimates, invoices, and updates.

The updates change some things on us at least a few times a year. Some changes are great however others are not so great. Especially when you have clients that are always requiring additional materials or information.

It makes it really easy to organize what we need. Since we use it mostly for payroll and clients, we are able to show what comes into us each week as well as goes out.

It's installed software so you purchase it once and you can use it for a few years before you are required to upgrade. It's more than capable of managing accounting for a small business. Payroll comes with unlimited technical support which has come in handy.

It uses embedded Internet Explorer for some dialogs and pages which is long obsolete and doesn't work very well.

We use it to track our income and expenses and for payroll. We can run payroll without and outside service and direct deposit our employees pay without too much effort.

I really love using this program because it makes it easier to synthesize reports for my Board of Directors. It also really assists me a lot in teaching myself how to be our accountant as we have had to cut a lot of stuff due to COVID-19 and I have no previous training in accounting.

There isn't a lot that I dislike about QuickBooks, and I think that the desktop option makes it feel more like a hefty program. I still frequently use the online option but that's because I am still learning more about what the desktop program can really do.

QuickBooks Desktop Pro is really intuitive. I think that's the strength of all QuickBooks programs. As a small nonprofit, we are always looking at every dollar we spend. Having a great grasp of all of our QuickBooks information really helps us make decisions and assist us in sustainability for our nonprofit.
