QuickBooks Desktop Pro for nonprofit - a great choice
If they hadn't just forced an upgrade on users, doubled prices, and touted bad support as a benefit, they'd be OK.

QuickBooks Desktop Pro for Small Cash Businesses
- Bookkeeping
- Accrual and Cash Based accounting modes
- Integration with other softwares
- With cloud-based software on the rise, QB Desktop Pro has become "clunky"

- QuickBooks Desktop Pro is very good at providing an audit copy while allowing continued use[.]
- Quickbooks Desktop Pro has very good customer service if there is ever an issue.

QuickBooks Desktop Pro Review
- Associates [can easliy] correct Customer/Supplier
- Cuts Checks
- Creates [Puchase Orders]
- Invoicing
- Single Mode vs. Group
- Quickly & easily tag stuff for associated records
- Re-runs payroll if needed when an issue arises (we had no taxes taken out 1 time)
When cutting POs, check[s,] or invoices [is an] one-time-only circumstance.
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
Quickbooks Pro <3
- Customer & Vendor Files/Records
- Payroll & Taxes
- Some are scared by the price tag
Accounting software that is a good value for the money.
- Easily lookup vendor information.
- Easily lookup customer information.
- Invoicing feature is lacking & difficult to use.
- Software crashes randomly occasionally.
I can process credit cards through QBDP as well as generate a Pay Online link on an invoice to accept both credit card and ACH payments on the web. When I'm running payroll, which happens now and then, QuickBooks is all I need to generate checks and do the necessary government payments.
- Ease of use.
- Robust expense management.
- UI tweaks for style and function.
- Better invoice design tools.
Really Great Product to Handle All of your Bookkeeping Needs
- It is super easy to integrate with our business bank accounts.
- Our management teams loves the ability to access it from any device, at any time.
- In the past, we have felt that their customer service team should be more familiar with their own product. They weren't really able to see the product through the eyes of a user.
- Switching from the online version to the desktop version was not seamless. It took a little more effort than expected.
QuickBooks Desktop Pro Review
- End-user experience is exceptional.
- Intuitive user interface and guides allows for quicker adoption by users.
- The desktop version would benefit from less dependency on compute requirements.
- Mobility for end user review and approvals.
- Small to midsize companies.
- Moderate to complex accounting requirements.
- Quick adoption for end-users.
Great accounting software
- It is very easy to set-up and implement.
- It is very user-friendly and easy to manage.
- It works just fine for SMB's.
- Fix network connectivity issues. There's a very common error that displays if you don't open the companies for a while - nothing a quick service restart won't help.
For those who don't trust the cloud
- Incredibly easy to use compared to managing your own company's finances.
- Considering the cost-to-time savings ratio, return on investment is well worth the cost
- Due to it being a client-based software, it doesn't have the benefits of cloud-based solutions, however this is unavoidable and QuickBooks does offer a cloud solution
- No-one has a CD/DVD drive anymore, so installation must be done over the internet
Great for SMB
- Integrates with Bill.com
- Integrates with ConnectWise
- Should be harder to change older entries
- Would love to be able to create an access level for sales that allows them to see if their customers have been paid and nothing else
QuickBooks -- The must have for any small to medium sized business
- Solid report formatting.
- Excellent data recall ability.
- Tremendous ease for adding transactions -- it's very intuitive.
- Connectivity to some banking is a little slow/sluggish. It does not always import transactions as they occur.
Easy, intuitive, and does it all!
QuickBooks Desktop Pro makes accounting work quick
- It is quick and easy to enter and print checks, and they post automatically to the QB bank register.
- It makes it easy to enter and track client invoices.
- It makes it easy to enter and track vendor bills.
- When you post payments from clients it makes it easy to create a bank deposit summary sheet.
- If you make an entry directly onto the register in the incorrect debit/credit column, you cannot simply reverse the error.
- If you make a deposit entry error, it is difficult to get removed from your "Record Deposits."
- You cannot print a check to "John Doe" if he is listed in your vendor list as "Doe, John."
- There is not a quick access icon on the Home Screen for transfers between accounts.
- QuickBooks does a great job of easily creating invoices and bills and sending them out internally either by email or fax. It does provide the option to print as well for customers who cant be reached otherwise.
- QuickBooks creates detailed charts that let you see your business from a distance. You are able to see a week, month or even a year at a time. charts include income, payments not received, and most frequent customers.
- QuickBooks makes complex task easy by having built in formats for invoices, estimates, bills, payment receipts.
- QuickBooks also has easy bank intergration.
- QuickBooks largest setback is the UI. It is a bit cumbersome and not entirely intuitive if you have never used QuickBooks before.
- Occasionally QuickBooks has a hard time communicating with your bank, but it is usually fixed after a couple attempts.
- QuickBooks does need to be bought each year to stay up to date.
Quickbooks can't be beat
- Inventory Management
- Customer Management
- Vendor Management
- Generating financial reports (P&L, Balance Sheet etc)
- Support should be US based, communication with support can be difficult at times.
- Too many updates. I don't think it's necessary to launch a new update every year.
- I don't think I should have to pay for a higher level of service to email a document as PDF.
QuickBooks Pro is a User Friendly Accounting Software
- The ease to make changes. This is important because if you see an error, you can double click on it and change it instead of having to make an adjusting entry to fix it.
- The ability to pull up detail quickly. If you run a summary report and you notice an account amount doesn't look correct; then you can double click on it to bring up the details without having to run another report.
- Ability to change the format of a report. When you run a report, you can go into the custom option and change the report criteria (time period, what accounts you want to show, reporting base (cash or accrual), etc.).
- When my cursor is on an entry in the bank register and I want to open the other bank account, instead of it opening my other bank account register it opens the register for the vendor that my cursor is on at the time.
- I have clients that operate on a cash basis so instead of saving this criteria when I run reports I have to keep going to the custom to change it from accrual to cash.
- I would like more options for my vendor and customer reports.
QuickBooks is THE accounting software for business
- A/R-A/P Particularly with forecasting, budgeting and tracking
- Vendor tracking - Utilizing as a vendor information database with contact information and tax information is helpful.
- Customer tracking - Utilizing the Customer portal to track payments for all tuition for school and also billing/invoicing.
- Reports can manipulated for month end and quarterly reporting.
- Multi-user -with different access points for vendor, employee and audit firm usage.
- Design layout - graphics are a bit dated
- Color schemes - would be nice to customize
- Multi/single user notification - It would be helpful to know what mode it is when logging in in case you need it changed offsite with other users using the system remotely.
Accounting for the future, with a few minor improvements
- Bank reconciliation and outstanding payments tracking
- Custom reporting and analysis tools to look at long-term budget expenditure (not possible in traditional excel, or file is way too large)
- Payroll and ability t audit your own payroll
- Crossover with other payroll software, easy to share data between them for uploading purposes
- Price is high even for a large company
- If you don't save..... it's all gone. Would be nice to have an auto-save feature as with Cloud services
- Inability to cross reference by country in terms of taxes and payroll reporting. Big hit for us
