Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Desktop Pro
Within the nonprofit organization I currently manage, it is used systemwide. I've also used it with a real estate and land development company where there were multiple LLCs under the umbrella. QuickBooks Desktop Pro was the software of choice.
For the nonprofit sector, it provides an affordable way to handle grant management and various projects. For the real estate company, it could be so granular to track from land acquisition to end-customer sales.

- Managing complex project accounting
- Grant accounting and reporting
- Payroll--especially with multi-project accounting
- The limited number of simultaneous users--licenses can be cost prohibitive
- Was too firewalled, requiring a VPN to use (may have been our IT)
- Cost. Cost. Cost.
- While they say nonprofit, it isn't really well designed (just branded) for nonprofits
- The cost of deploying QuickBooks Desktop Pro compared to the "big" providers, like Sage, is far less
- Can be set up fairly quickly with an experienced accountant and good data
- Ability to review large projects from start to finish through several steps created a great financial report
The transparency of QuickBooks Desktop Pro is less complex. This really helps with larger projects/companies with one shared accounting office.
