QuickBooks Desktop Pro Reviews

I love QuickBooks. I can't speak for organizations of other sizes, but for small-medium sized companies like us, it's the perfect bookkeeping solution. It has all the features we need, and several we're not even using (payroll, job profitability, inventory tracking, etc.) that make it the all-in-one suite that any company can use.

Perfect for any type of accounting needs with small businesses. Easy to use. Quickbooks allows us to track purchases, monitor bank accounts & credit cards, lookup customer or vendor information, track all deposits, and manage all aspects of the financial side of the business (for the most part).

QuickBooks Desktop Pro is a great tool to use if you only have one user and you have limited internet access. I use to love using QuickBooks Desktop Pro, but found that QuickBooks Online is far better because your data is always backed up and you can access on any computer as long as you have internet.
QuickBooks Desktop Pro is great because you only have to pay a one-time fixed fee instead of having to pay for a monthly fee. The downside of this is that your software can quickly get outdated and you will have to pay for new software every few years. I recommend using QuickBooks Online because the software is always getting improvements and they are included in the reasonable monthly fee.

I already recommend QBDP to friends and clients. It's easy to learn, and powerful enough to run most businesses without causing a financial strain. Its integration with countless banks enable ease of downloading transactions and reconciling accounts. If you need payroll services it's built right into QBDP, and it'll generate the checks, track fees and withholding payments with ease.

QuickBooks Desktop Pro really does have it all when it comes to managing your books. If you are looking for that all encompassing product to handle all of your accounting needs, is easy to use, and affordable, then QuickBooks Desktop Pro is your best option. The fact that it's so universally known has also really helped with hiring. It is very easy to find candidates that are familiar with the product and can jump right into it from day one.

For all the small companies I have taken over books for, they all gravitate, and like the QB integration, I bring to them. We love that it keeps EVERYTHING all in one spot. They can scan or snap a pic of receipts and maintain a digital copy in their software, taking out all the paper clutter, which I am finding is becoming an increasing concern for people as they never know when the "appropriate" time is to throw these things away.

For small business users, with 2 to 100 employees, this tool is perfect for those who don't have the time for doing all their accounting by hand, and for those who don't trust the cloud. However, most who have faith that QuickBooks won't be hacked, will be better suited to the cloud-based solution as it is available on almost any device.

It's difficult to think of a situation where QuickBooks is not a good solution for accounting software needs. It comes in many different flavors and can be used for practically any size or type of business.

Quickbooks is great for managing different cost centers, or in our case, franchises. The class assign is something that helps us a lot in keeping a good track of what is related to each location. The big issue I do see with QB is the lack of security, of course, you are able to check the audit log and see who did the changes, but that normally happens after the fact and sometimes the fraud already happened. If you are the only one managing it, this the right tool for you.

I support clients who use QuickBooks and some who use Simply Accounting, and the QuickBooks users seem uniformly happier with their choice, except for one or two large and more complex organizations.

It does everything I need but doesn't slow me down. It also saves me a lot of time at tax time.

QuickBooks Desktop Pro is exceptional for these scenarios:

• Small to midsize companies.
• Moderate to complex accounting requirements.
• Quick adoption for end-users.

I believe QuickBooks Desktop is a good solution for accounting for small and medium companies, even if you want to keep track of your own business expenses, QuickBooks Desktop is a good solution to go for.

QuickBooks Pro is excellent for a small business. QuickBooks Desktop is easy to learn and makes sharing with an accountant a breeze through "Accountant's Copy".

It may not be a great fit in construction/heavy-labor areas of employment. It would work if you wanted to run two software programs (like use QB for payroll and something different for managing jobs and stuff).

Quickbooks Desktop Pro is well suited for any business, large or small to be organized and have one program do everything. I am not sure where it is less appropriate, even the smallest of businesses would benefit from using this.

Quickbooks Pro helped me tremendously when I was preparing 1099s. I was prepared for a long tedious process, and it was sweet and simple. I also love the ease of connecting with the bank and downloading transactions and then matching with bank information. It helps keep things in order.

QuickBooks Pro is great for businesses that invoice often, have multiple clients, have repetitive business and will need to use accounting software each week. It would not be as ideal for startups, and/or companies that would not need to bill often. For that, I would suggest an easier to use/free software until Quickbooks is necessary.

I think this is a great application for people responsible for "keeping the books" for most organizations. It worked well and provided us and our accountant with all the necessary data. Reporting is very important when working with accountants and the QB reports "matched" what my accountants were asking for so that helped me tremendously.

Easy to maneuver throughout the software. Under the contact/vendor information, we would like to be able to remove some of the fields as they are not necessary. We should be able to tailor it to our company’s needs.

Honestly, I would recommend QuickBooks to anyone that doesn't want to keep manual records. You can use it for invoices, statements, payroll, and so much more. The only way that I have ever kept records was manually and later, with QuickBooks. I could not imagine what it would be like having to keep manual records after QuickBooks made it so convenient to keep everything in one place.

Well suited for smaller businesses. It is used both where I work and the two small non-profits that I am on the board of.

QuickBooks Desktop Pro is better suited for at minimum small companies with multiple expense and revenue accounts needing to be tracked. It is much less suited for smaller companies that do not need such tracking. For example, I am also a partner in a behavioral health company. We only need to track our client income and business expenses. We do not have multiple revenue and expense account categories to track, so QB Desktop Pro would be way more complex then we need.

It has plenty of features, you don't necessarily need to use all, just the ones that are best suited for your organization.

QuickBooks is well suited for any business where invoices, bills, and payments are used. Especially where customers have time to pay, it helps keep track of who is paying and how timely they are paying. I would guess it might be cumbersome to use if the customer base was over 500, but maybe with several users that would work.
