QuickBooks Online Reviews

Summary: Quickbooks Online is the ideal software for us to keep track of all of our finances and do accounting-related work. We have been able to save money because this software is not very pricey and we have also been able to get great results because of the variety and extensiveness of its features. Quickbooks is the place where we keep all our data in regards to the financial/banking part of our business, and it has been so authentic in sorting our data and speeding up any type payments and taxes, reconciliation and business progress, as it has also the capability to give us great insight analytics about how our business is performing financially, allowing us to make better decisions about our next projects to keep boosting our performance. With this software, we have been able to achieve more with less, and our projects have a nice budgeting plan thanks to it being able to streamline all our process during every project, planning every step and customizing and creating different templates from past projects, to ensure consistency and success every single time.

Positive: Quickbooks Online provides a distinguished way to do all our accounting and budgeting for our business. It has a system that is very complete and full of smart tools that when combined, make for a hugely helpful software that carries all of my financial tasks.

-One of my favorite aspects of Quickbooks is how fast we can complete our bank reconciliation every month, providing thoughtful analysis about where our money goes and allowing us to make smart decisions regarding our finances and our business’ future. It’s very easy to prepare our reports every month and customize them to include the most information possible such as income statements and purchase orders, and choose between single-entry or double-entry systems.

-Additionally, Quickbooks has the power to organize all our taxes for us and manage all our tax data for when the tax season comes, and notify us when they’re ready. I like this area of Quickbooks and I find that it’s the most powerful feature as it lets us streamline all our tax processes and has an accurate automated system that studies our data and helps me sort our finances by quarter or yearly methods, providing a strong system that is based on security and support, saving us as much time as possible with its different tools to calculate different finances.

-Quickbooks’ customer support has been very helpful in providing the assistance that we have needed during our training period with the software, and to this day, they have been extremely responsive and have solved any question and doubt that we’ve had, making it such a wonderful service and experience for us and improving our view of the solution in general.

-Integration with many third-party applications make the experience of using Quickbooks even better, as it improves our workflow and synchronizes our data with other financial and project management tools, eliminating the process of having to manually import or export data into Quickbooks or other apps.

-Finally, I like that this software is hosted on the cloud and can access it anywhere I am and on any device, which is a huge benefit for me as I am sometimes on the go, and being able to access my business’ accounting solution is a huge deal for me. I also find that because it is hosted on the cloud, Quickbooks provides higher security levels and a low risk of lost or stolen information, and that used to be a great worry for me as no one wants their information suddenly lost/stolen, but Quickbooks maintains all our data encrypted and safe.

Negative: I feel like even though Quickbooks has amazing tools and it’s a great platform overall, it still lacks in terms of user-friendliness and user guides to help users settle in with the software and finish implementation successfully. We struggled a bit with this software because the amount of tools were so overwhelming and I felt like it didn’t provide enough tutorials for me to understand how it works, but thankfully, once we contacted the customer support and were put in contact with an expert, they were very happy to help us through every step of our implementation with Quickbooks, which was honestly amazing and it’s one of the reasons we chose to stay with Quickbooks as our main accounting solution for our business.
Also, as I appreciate the level of security and high quality encryption that Quickbooks has, I do find it a bit annoying the level of security that there is to access our finances every single time, as I am requested one-time passwords and it takes more time to access our finances, but it’s just a small dislike that is compensated with the rest of the software tools that I do enjoy using.

Summary: I really like QuickBooks, it is easy to use and efficient. Reporting is good and you can easily get comparable information from the system.

Positive: Easy to use, clear, easy search facility and includes many different features. Good reporting function.

Summary: As a manager, I'm very happy with QBO and can't imagine a scenario where we'd switch to another provider.

Positive: I'm not an accountant and don't have a finance background, but I am responsible for overseeing our financial operations and I've found QBO to be a great tool. In my role, running reports is a key feature, and I have found this to be very intuitive and to have lots of options for customization. I also like that employees sitting in three different countries can all have easy access to our books wherever they are.

Negative: No real drawbacks that I have encountered. The only improvement that comes to mind is that it could be a bit more easy on the eyes design-wise, but that doesn't impact its functionality at all.

Summary: Overall Quickbooks does exactly what I need it to do. It allows us to track our spending and provide accurate information to our members. Being able to integrate with other software makes it one of the best options.

Positive: It is a great accounting platform. It is easy to use and allows tracking of accounts. We have it setup to track by location and that is a great resource to determine how each location is doing. Banking integration is great and probably one of its best features.

Positive: QuickBooks is an exceptional system to manage banking needs including tracking AP/AR and helps to manage credit card accounts as well. It's extremely helpful to be able to integrate information from our billing system into QB so that we are able to reconcile all of our financial matters.

Negative: At times we have noticed when creating checks for vendors the system will revert back to a previous account even after changing to the checking account from where we want a particular check to be written from. It's a small glitch but one that has caused us to have to do some backtracking on occasion when a check is written out of the wrong account. Not sure how to prevent this from happening in the future.
