QuickBooks Desktop Pro Reviews: 4.3/5 — Solid Choice

Being able to have more than one person utilize QuickBooks Pro with the use of Right Network.

I wish I had a dislike for the programs, but I don't at this time and I have been using it for 3 years with Right Network.

My main problem was payroll and managing sales tax, unfortunately, the owner figured out the issues with managing sales tax which the QuickBook Pro help desk couldn't. QuickBook Pro helped with my payroll issue, if you put a help request in for a phone call, they call back extremely fast!

Easy to use. The classroom textbook has an easy format to follow. The Help section lets you locate topics for any questions that you have.

New user limited to school work only, still have pieces of the program to learn, so I cannot list any dislikes at the present time.

I have recently competed a college course on QuickBooks, has it is a skill needed for Accounting level employment opportunities for many companies.

Extract of reports and search criteria with several options will make the work ease

Interface of the app is not very good compare to web

Accounting and preparing reports

I love that with my limited bookkeeping experience, I feel in control of my small non-profit and our finances. I can easily generate reports and see where our accounts stand.

It does take some time to figure it all out. QB can be a bit overwhelming and not always easy to set up in the beginning.

We have excellent reports, can see at a glace where things stand financially and my administrative assistant can help with tasks at the same time.

All-in one spot to pull in bank statements, invoicing, collect payments, track profit / loss and overdue accounts. Really helps with watching cashflow.

Sometimes I find it difficult to search for a specific client / invoice. Not sure exactly why - if it's a glitch or what, but it can be a little frustrating at times.

Invoicing, accounts receivable, and general monthly cashflow reviews. Benefit is being easily able to track status of payments, send quick reminders and easily update / modify invoices on the fly!

I love the organization, and it is easy to use

There is nothing I dislike, every thing Is amazing

We were not organized, since we started using QuickBooks, our agency is all set with our financials.

As an accountant, it makes working easier because using a manual system takes more time to post the necessary accounts but with QuickBooks Desktop Pro it's easier.

The cost of it is pricy but other than that I have no problem with it because I know how to use the software.

I use QuickBooks Desktop Pro to set up companies for clients as I am a freelance Accountant and it makes creating a company easy as after you create the company and create your chart of accounts and entry in the customers and vendors etc it's smooth sailing from there as QuickBooks automatically save changes whenever you post to an existing account.

Dashboard appearance, Report download in excel format.

The view of the detailed information about the customer

matching payment with the invoices is easy

QB Desktop Pro is easy to use. It is user intuitive and easy to correct any mistakes.

I really don't dislike anything about it. My company switched to Unanet GovCon because it is a more robust system for government cost accounting vs. the simplicity of QBs. However, QBs is great for most accounting needs.

Early on in the start-up of my small business, QBs was exactly what we needed. It enabled me, a non-accountant, to keep track of financials in a simplistic way.

Ease of Use. Keeps track of all my needs

I wish I could use it effortlessly on my home and work computer

Save Time. Professional looking checks

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

I like how all is in one software; from reports to sending invoices.

Not much to dislike; it is much better than quickbooks online which is SLOW. I would NOT use payroll on QB

You can always have financial reports at your fingertips.

It's very user-friendly. I like how the chart of accounts is organized and can be sorted different ways. You can open windows on top of one another, which you cannot do in Quickbooks online.

I don't like that you cannot open more than one company file at a time. I work with multiple company files throughout my day it can be frustrating to have to close and log into a different one.

We are solving formatting problems with Quickbooks desktop pro. We can format our financials the same in all company files so that our combined financials look sleek.

It has capabilities of creating invoices, maintenance of all finances and expenses. Besides, it excellently tracks profit and loss reports on the go. Automatically calculates our business mileage using phone's GPRS.

Nothing to dislike as it meets all accounts requirements in our organization and with efficiency and accuracy too.

Creating invoices maintenance of cash flow and expenses. Tracking profit and loss reports on the go Calculates VAT tax return. Tracking business mileage using simple device like phone without draining its battery. Preparing payroll. Billing. Among more

I love everything about this software. It is so easy to set up, learn and use. You can use it for everything from invoices, to payroll, to inventory and even paying debts. The desktop version has more functionality than the online version, though the online version is good for on the go. It basically has everything you need to run a company.

Nothing. I like everything about the software.

So I use this to help me with payroll, billing, and accounting. Quickbooks allows me to use the program for everything. The main benefit is being able to use one program for everything to simplify your business needs.

It gives me reliability, and availability of all my transactions, i.e.deposits, debits, payments, etc.

I just wish it was a little more robust, to hold more data in case I expand.

I have weighed the cost versus the benefits, and I have been able to solve the problem of not having to be frustrated with Excel for my financials, receivables, etc.

It is easy to use. I can take care of everything in one

For me the desktop is a little more difficult to use then the online version.

We are able to take care of invoicing, payroll and billing.

The software is designed to meet the specific needs of small to medium enterprises. Its the best accounting solutions Iv used so that meets the demands of growing business.

So far so good, amaizing value for money.

All the bookkeeping needs to my company are addressed, periodical accounts reviews and analysis is made way easier.

Theres a wide variety of tools and options to track and label all inflow and outflow, including our sales and payables. We had a lot of subcontractors that we paid and created 1099s for us. The software also alerted us to keep backup files of what we needed regularly.

Its a lot to get used to. We did it on our own and there was not a great point of reference to train and learn from. It was hard to understand at first and we didn't easily connect with customer service or somone to train us.

We save time and money by doing most of our bookkeeping and record keeping. We were able to track everything from receivables to payables easily once we learned how to use the software properly.

I love that I am able to add new people to my team and easily train them among the feature-rich platform with ease. Being able to see all of my company finances in one place is very beneficial.

I haven't found too much I don't like but one feature I would like to see have a little more automation would be sending remittances to clients easier with one click of a button. From what we've seen so far, we can only mass download everything in one PDF, then we need to split everything up and then send individual emails. This takes a lot of time.

We are solving the problem of bookkeeping - the benefits are that we have all financial information for our entire company in one place.

The most helpful thing about Quickbook Desktop Pro is that you can open multiple tabs, unlike Quickbooks online. The sidebar is handy to go back to other accounts you were working on. I can upload the bank statement activity, and Quickbooks notes past transactions to input transactions much faster. Quickbooks also now have an app for in-person payments through Square or PayPal. Payroll is an easy run, and you can pay taxes in less than 30 minutes.

A desktop subscription can be more expensive, but it is worth it for the easy use of organizing your financials.

I gained inventory, bill payments, profitability reports, and track billable hours all through Quickbooks.
