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.

(1-25 of 124)Quickbooks is a valuable tool for small and medium businesses
- It identifies and recognizes the classification of payments made so most of the payments to vendors is automatically filled out by the software.
- Quickbooks also corresponds between accounts so a payment made on a company credit card in the bank account is transferred to the credit card account
- Quickbook allows a multiplicity of reports, such as last fiscal year, or last fiscal quarter etc. It is possible to see it as details or as broad catagories such as travel, or subscription and dues which allows at a glance where funds are being spent
- On occassions when downloading a bank statement or a monthly credit card statement it does not recognize the OFX data, so a new account has to be created.
- With the Desktop model there is no easy way to update after online support ends. For security reasons we do use the online Quickbooks system
- Changing an expense to a vendor is not straightforward. What is needed is a list of expenditures that includes not just one off expenses but the list of vendors too, so that if a one time expense becomes a regular expense it should change to vendor with just a click.
QuickBooks Desktop Pro Review
- profit and loss reports
- online transaction downloads
- old dated interface
- very minor changes over years
- costs for the software have doubled since last year
QuickBooks Desktop Pro - A full review
- Accounts Receivable tracking
- Easy to generate reports
- Concise bank account registers
- QuickBooks can be pricey if you are using the payroll
- Multi user could be improved as only certain things can be done in single user mode
- Low level Support is not the best. Operators are foreign based screen readers
- Memorized transactions
- Customizable reports
- Search function
- It freezes and shuts downs from time to time, other times it's really slow.
- Sorting is not supported (by name etc.)
- Accounting
- Sales tracking
- Bill payments and tracking
- Document trail for purchases
- Inventory tracking
- Tracking jobs per customer without creating additional tabs

Quickbooks Pro
- QuickBooks generates a P&L easily. This can be done in many different ways; company -wide, per client, etc.
- QuickBooks generates a Balance Sheet easily.
- QuickBooks also tracks AR and AP very well.
- QuickBooks has room to improve on their cashflow report. We do not use the report in QuickBooks.
- QuickBooks has room to improve the credit card entries. In order to match the entries to the credit card statement, you have to go in to manually input the entries and vendors. For example, if I pay ATT one month and the vendor charges my credit card as "ATT Houston," and the next month, they charge under "ATT Sugar Land," I would have to either manually attached both of these entries to ATT the vendor, or set up 2 new vendors as "ATT Houston" and "ATT Sugar Land."
- QuickBooks has room to improve the way it integrates with other accounting systems. For example, if a subsidiary does not have QuickBooks Pro, you have to create a separate excel model to run a consolidation model.
QuickBooks Pro is well suited for setting up a new accounting system, maintaining accounting records, generating P&Ls, balance sheets, trial balances, etc. many important and crucial accounting documents. The system does a great job of creating an audit trail and housing all the details of a company's accounting system.
- QuickBooks Desktop Pro is user-friendly. It is easy to reverse the journey entry and fix the errors.
- Accountants can fix errors without letting the manager review and approve. It will be better to have a function that the accountants have some restrictions for internal control purposes.
- Generating templates, and formatting forms that need to be sent out
- Reports
- Imports and exports to/from various formats
- SUPPORT
- Pricing
- Speed
- The developer has gotten too greedy and forces upgrades on users when everyone knows they're not necessary, except as an income producer to the developer
- Affordable.
- Canned reporting for financial statements.
- Multi user access.
- Inter-entity reporting/transactions is a pain.
- Bad customer service.
- Not in the cloud.
Quickbooks Desktop Pro is top quality
- Accounting made [it] easy you enter in amounts due-amounts paid then done.
- Collection letters [are] so easy. Made my life so much better.
- My AR team rocks with QuickBooks Desktop Pro.
- Oh goodness[,] I am sure there is something but seriously no complaints here - 8 years and nothing to complain about yet.
Project Accountant Review
- Bill payments
- Run reports
- Easy to navigate
- Built in payment approval feature would be great
- It is easy to manage and adjust inventory on hand.
- It is easy to make reports and customize them to your needs.
- We also use it to pay our employees directly.
- It is easy to make year-to-year comparisons to see where we can make improvements and the current financial situation.
- It would be nice if I could delete items from inventory that I no longer use instead of making them inactive. Stuff that is no longer manufactured as an example.
Not a pro but I use Desktop Pro
- Easy to update and understand.
- Makes tax reports, other government report[s], insurance submissions[,] and compliance accurate and mostly automatic.
- Can download bank transactions with some automatic accounting info.
- [Sometimes] automatic rules miss posts and hard to determine why.
- When typing [an] account it will after a while start to default to the first account starting with that letter.
- Help can be improved often can't find answers to problems or questions.
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"
- Some screens are slow to load (Customer Edit for example)
- Small bugs in opening multiple company files
- Easy to use and learn
- Flexible
- Efficient
- Cost accounting is somewhat cumbersome
- Integration with 3rd party payroll could be more efficient
- This is the desktop version, and our version does not handle touch screens or two-fingered touchpad very well
- 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 is very easy to learn and is easy to support.
- 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.
Piece of Mind
- Robust
- Accounts Payable
- Accounts Receivable
- Payroll

- Easy to use and set up

- Can be intimidating
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.
- Intuitive and easy to use
- reporting is robust
- online version has made it even easier to invoice and manage AR
- Still need someone with business /CPA acumen to set up properly or the functions /features don't match what your company does
- not the easiest to integrate with enough third party solutions (but getting better with their APIs)
- still don't fully trust Intuit after they - many years ago - intrusively intercepted completed invoices we mailed and turned them into client "accounts" for the clients to login and pay without our knowledge let alone our permission.
- Doesn't scan receipts etc. easily in the app
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
