The thing I like the best is that I am not an accountant but I can easily use quickbooks for simple book keeping.

It seems like all the issues of reporting have been fixed but it used to bug me in the past.

Very simply - we dont need to hire an accountant for reports.

I was easily able to input new bills and accounts for the company. I could keep track of monthly spending vs monthly income all in one application. I like that I can access it without the internet if I need to since the company's headquarters is located in a small, rural town. It was easy to learn how to use. I was able to teach others how to use it after only using it for a few days.

There wasn't much that I didn't like. It was pretty straightforward once I learned it. I think my only complaint is it’s only available on PC. I do a lot of work from home and prefer to be able to use my phone vs a laptop or desktop.

It makes accounting much easier to handle by having one place for everything. It was my first accounting job and it eased a lot of the stress I was having about being worried if I would be a good fit. To me,it was pretty simple to learn.

I like that I don't have to worry about tracking my business expenses. I always have my phone on me so QuickBooks is ALWAYS available. It's intuitive, and as a new business owner, it's one less thing I have to worry about. Since opening my business, filing my taxes has been on my mind.

Not quite sure how to also track incoming money. It would be great to have the option to create P/L sheets and understand how much money my business is making.

The customers and the vendors accounts are straightforward. It is a user friendly tool.

I think that today the best option would be to go with quickbooks online if one can afford it. However, we tried the Quickbooks online version and one is required to have a USA number for verification. or use other vendors to purchase. I hate that once I create an item in the item list, there is no way of permanently dleleting it, one can only hide it.

We easily create invoices without any difficulties. The scheduled backup feature is a great one We are able to create our payrolls very fast

I like the ease of use and the overall integration of everything.

I don't like that it doesn't have a CRM incorporation.

I use the cloud version actually, and is easy to navigate - very intuitive. And while one can mess things up, they certainly don't make it easy; a lot of alerts occur prior to executing a task that the system deems incorrect.

I do the bookkeeping for our contracting business. QB, once learned, is a robust program and it's somewhat intuitive. Makes it quick and easy to kri track of accounting.

I wish the job costing was simpler and that templates (invoices, etc) allowed greater flexibility.

Got the end of year reporting to the accountant in record time this year. We've moved from ADP to QB for payroll... that's been a huge savings and much more straightforward. Its also helpful as a customer, vendor, and HR database.

Putting in our financial information is extremely simple using QuickBooks. I use this software to input checks send out by our nonprofit as well as to enter deposits that we deposit into the bank. The process is extremely easy. I could not as for a more simple and easy way to put in our financial data.

I have not really had any serious issues with QuickBooks. The only thing that I can think of is that it constantly asks you to back up your information, which can be annoying, but I would rather back up the data than have everything get lost.

We use QuickBooks to keep track of all financial data and information for our nonprofit.

The ability of Intuit to sync with third-party/proprietary software companies has proven more far-reaching over the years than other platform. It makes our ability to do business more efficient in all areas.

There are occasional Payrol errors (PS304 and PS302) that require multiple steps to work-around when trying to install Payroll updates. The fix requires deleting certain payroll entries ("Online to be Sent") and re-entering, which affects past Payroll Taxes, Bank Reconciliations, etc., and therefore requires numerous corrections. So, that is an issue that needs to be addressed within Intuit, so that the work-around does not inhibit totally efficient bookkeeping. But other than that, I have had no issues, and all issues have been solved talking to Support in a timely fashion over the years.

Using Quickbooks solves many business issues, especially considering we also interface with a proprietary software for ordering/receiving/sales outside of Intuit. Intuit has made it very user-friendly to sync and solve many issues related to the outside software as well. When you can identify these issues easily, it makes the proficiency of daily Accounting much more doable.
