Custom-built for the business of one, QuickBooks Solopreneur features tools to help drive growth and financial stability.
For a small business, QuickBooks Desktop Pro is great! For a larger, more complex business, another system may be more beneficial. We actually run multiple businesses on QuickBooks Desktop Pro, but all are very small. The help feature is sometimes so beneficial, and sometimes it seems like you just can't get the right answer and need to find a workaround - but this is usually for more complex issues.
Entrepreneurs and independent contractors who have not formalized their business operations and expense tracking can upgrade their internal efficiencies by launching QuickBooks Solopreneur. As they grow, they can upgrade to higher subscription levels, but this product offers a low-cost option with minimal unnecessary features to get started. If you already have a team, you may want to consider QuickBooks Online. If you are a one-person show, this solution works well.

QuickBooks Desktop Pro has been around for a few years and after an update[,] they force you to look at the changes/updates before you can use [them] after updating.
QuickBooks Desktop Pro does not have 2FA.
QuickBooks Desktop Pro should offer a way to store backups to a personal cloud without having to map a local network drive.

Having work-arounds when they have technical glitches - for example, just allow me to mark the transaction as paid if you can't link it to the transaction.
I'd love to keep using it, and do intend to - though we've not been pleased with price increases over the past several years. In fact, we used to subscribe to the payroll service, but QuickBooks priced themselves out of reach for us, so we discontinued that. Currently, pricing would be the primary reason for NOT renewing, if we didn't.

The set up was quite easy. I took some online training causes, and figured our the rest pretty quickly. The only issue I had during the implementation process was it was very hard to change some of the GL Account name to reflect the needs of a non-profit organization, such as Net Assets. At the end I had to scratch what I did, and used the existing formats that the third-party bookkeeping firm shared. Everything else is simple and easy to manage and implement.

I gave it this rating because it's an excellent fit for my sole proprietorship and ,since I operate like a one person business I needed something simple,practical,and easy to use.Quickbooks helps manage my income,my expenses and organizes my transactions, keeping me on track of all my business finances without making the process overly done.It helps save me time and stay organized,although there are a few features with limitations that did not significantly affect my experience. Bottom line this software provided everything I needed to successfully manage my micro mini business which gets a 10 in my grade book.

Yes, QuickBooks Solopreneur is generally available when needed. Because it is a cloud based application, users can access it from anywhere with an internet connection. However, occasional application errors, maintenance, internet connectivity problems, or unexpected service outages can temporarily affect access. These issues appear to be relatively uncommon, so I would rate its availability 8/10.

QuickBooks Solopreneur generally performs quickly and efficiently. Pages and common features load within a reasonable amount of time, and reports typically generate quickly enough for everyday business needs. Performance can vary depending on internet connection, device, and the amount of data being processed, but overall the software provides a smooth user experience. Id give it a 9/10

They are awful. Intuit doesn't spend real money on support. They appear to have typically said, first-level script readers who are sending messages to the senior people for anything even a little bit difficult. Many of them don't speak particularly good English. Considering that they recently doubled (or, if you are paying annually, tripled) their pricing, and touted as one of the benefits that it includes [..] support, it's a real ripoff. However, we have to use the product because it is ubiquitous. I look forward to the day a competitor comes up with something good enough, which has excellent support, that matches all the features QuickBooks Desktop Pro currently has [...] or at least gives us a way to have all the functionality we currently have without excessive sacrifice [...] so that we can switch. I was very satisfied with QuickBooks for many years. This latest [rise] in price, and their sheer gall at touting the benefit of the 100 to 200% increase as being [the] inclusion of support, is what turned me so far against them.

Best thing I ever did was to attend a two day training seminar on QuickBooks, I learned an immense amount in a short time with hands on training by experts. I strongly recommend such training for anyone using any part of the software. It will pay for itself in the first month.
Not applicable. I am a ProAdvisor and I do not allow my clients (with few exceptions) to work in QuickBooks Online. I am the only person booking transactions, etc.

Quickbooks Solopreneur offers strong online training and learning resources ,including step by step tutorial ,instructional videos ,webinars,help articles, and access to Quickbooks experts.I gave the online training a 9 out of 10 because the resources are convenient ,accessible,and cover most of the functions a new user would need to learn .I didn't give it a 10 because some uses may still need additional personalized instruction when dealing with more complex accounting questions or features.

We implemented the software ourselves. The training we received on the software was done by taking a community course teaching us how to use QuickBooks. It allowed me to get started with some basics of how to use the program and have not needed much assistance since completing the course work.

We tried switching from QuickBooks Desktop Pro to QuickBooks Online, but there were a lot of issues and bugs so we ultimately decided to stay with Desktop Pro. Unfortunately, we are losing a lot of Online Banking capabilities on 5/31 as we have an older version of QB, but we plan to stick with Desktop Pro. In terms of invoicing, SaaSOptics beats QuickBooks in almost all aspects as it's all automated and takes seconds to create and send invoices. However, SaaSOptics is not really a full ERP program so it wouldn't serve us as a main bookkeeping software like QB.

QuickBooks Solopreneur is easy to understand and work with and is more convenient compared to other options. QuickBooks Desktop has many disadvantages. When it comes to QuickBooks Solopreneur, it helps manage tasks easily and allows users to find all the options without difficulty. When adding or deleting anything, it is simple to locate the right option and take the needed action

My scalability rating would have to be a 6 out of 10 QuickBooks Solopreneur provides some scalability as a business grows, but it is primarily designed for individual business owners and small businesses. It can handle increasing financial activity, but its ability to support multiple departments, sites, and users is limited compared with more advanced QuickBooks products.
