We've been using QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise along with Xero for our clients. Some of our clients do have their books in Quickbooks so it's faster and easier to provide services with them while we're using the service. Also, this helps them understand the books more since they're familiar with the interface of what they are using.

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise allows us to create financial reports and track inventory. multiple user interface is very helpful! We also used it for payroll for a long time, until our database got too large and we had to move to a different platform (weekly payroll for 200 employees). The ease of creating and customize reporting has been a great way for us to track and communicate with teams

We use it in a terminal server environment. It is to help with financial and payroll services to our clients who also use the Enterprise version on their end. It creates accountant copy of a company's folder which holds additional details and features than a regular version of QB (QuickBooks) can provide.

We use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for accounting, payroll, and human resources purposes for two companies. We have three users, but only one that uses regularly as we are a small company. It is a program that we use daily. Being a small company, it's convenient that all of our payroll, tax information, human resources, and accounting information is in one place.

I use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for all my accounting needs...the full spectrum. As a non-profit I need to track donations and send year end giving receipts which QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise allows me to do. It also has specialized reports for non-profits which is super helpful. It produces great reports and integrates with 3rd party 1099 software and my third party database software.

We use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise to maintain the General Ledger for four companies. These firms are limited in size and hence there is little to no financial evaluation. The firms are mostly tax shelters.

We have utilized QB Desktop Enterprise for many purposes. It is our main tool for posting and processing bills, for creating quotes and invoicing clients. We also use the payroll feature and process our bi-weekly payroll as well as monthly government remittances via this tool. We use it regularly for job costing, for reference to past projects, for bank reconciliations and for our year end.

We used QuickBooks Desktop until last month when we switched to QuickBooks Online. This move was mainly inspired by the discontinuation of support for the version we were using and the flexibility it provides for accessing financial data from anywhere with an internet connection. The transition has also enabled improved collaboration among remote team members, and we continue to benefit from the core features that make QuickBooks a reliable and comprehensive financial management solution for our organization.

We utilize QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for our daily bookkeeping and financial reporting. This is where we enter in our daily transactions to track income as well as all of our accounts payable transactions. General Journal entries are quick and easy to input and allow for me to allocate every penny to the correct account. This is crucial for budgeting. The same can be said for accounts payable. Everything is well organized and easy to locate and analyze. With the click of a few buttons, I can find any expense with the corresponding invoice. We do not utilize QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for invoicing due to the nature of our business. All invoicing is handled through our veterinary software. QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is where we go for all of our budgeting. Because everything is well organized and detailed, you can look at as big or as little of the picture as you want. We utilize the software to locate any areas of concern within the budget. The software can be difficult for new users without training as it is not extremely intuitive. There are numerous tutorials available, however, and once you learn how to navigate it, the software is incredibly easy to use.

We used QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for paying our vendors, bank reconciliations, and budgeting. We utilize the budgeting for our board meetings and present financial reports to the board. It is exceptional because it can easily be exported to Excel and modified to show the data needed.

It helps us record our company's cash inflows and outflows in a proper auditable format. We use it to move data from one software to another budgeting tool with a lot of ease. I use the QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise's data via an ETL and integrate that into Power BI seamlessly.

We use QuickBooks to pay our vendors and keep up with deposits. We do not send invoices via QuickBooks. We keep up with 1099 employees thru Quickbooks. It is very easy to reconcile our accounts in Quickbooks. Quickbooks Desktop is very easy to use and learn. I like the fact that I have plenty of room in the memo to describe the services we are writing a check for, or to put what the case expense was and for what client.

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise was used as our accounting software for 25+ years. During that time, we used it for payroll, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable, along with keeping all of our books and finance records. WE have recently switched to the QuickBooks Online because we do not want to host a server any longer.

We use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for our general accounting needs as well as inventory management across multiple site locations. We also use the advanced inventory module. This is very helpful in the manufacturing and contract manufacturing that we do. One other feature that is very helpful for our business is the advanced pricing tool. This allows us to set price levels for different types of customers.

We use QuickBooks Desktop (QBD) for many clients in many industries whether it is construction, E-commerce, Restaurants and many more. We use QuickBooks Desktop for accounting point of view where manage all the financials of the clients including reporting. We manage the accounting of the clients from various locations and as per the location we bifurcated the accounting so that going forward we can create the reports as per the location. We use the accounting numbers for budgeting as well, which means we can also forecast the future numbers as per the current year financials created in the QuickBooks desktop.

We've used QuickBooks many years for managing multiple ecommerce companies, amazon sales, and wholesale sales. We use it to track our inventory which ranges from simple single bottle supplements to complex multi piece builds for large packages of items. There are plenty of connectors to the web platforms available for Shopify, amazon, etc that work great.

We utilize Quickbooks for our order quotes, sales orders, invoicing, purchase orders, and reporting. There are extra features to Quickbooks that we do not use such as inventory, payroll, etc. It is a great product and pretty much the industry standard. It seems that intui/quickbooks has gotten so famous that they do not pay much attention to service. It is outsourced and the language barrier can be in issue at times. That is if you have 45 mins to an hour to wait to speak to someone.

We have been using Quick Books Desktop Enterprise to keep track of our accounts payable and receivable. It is a very user friendly option that we would highly recommend to any medium size business. QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise has great reporting and works very well on the cloud. It is nice that we can give our accountants access to what they need as well.
