Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
- It enables me to do a P&L for each specific program as requested by the county for the grant money that they give us.
- It enables me to do [an] organizational budget as well as a budget for each specific program
- It enables the accountant and the auditor access at any time for transparency
- I would like to be able to post a refund to come out of expenses instead of income
- Correcting posting errors could be made easier
- Matching unapplied payments could be easier

QuickBooks Online is the perfect fit for us!!
- Handles the quarterly taxes for us - or at least figures them for us and let's us know when they need to be paid (for those that QuickBooks Online can't electronically transfer)
- I love the payroll feature too - sooooo easy to use and update!
- The reports feature is very informative and easy to navigate.
- Hopefully they will add the ability of Schedule K's into their online service

An asset to our company
- Profit/loss accounts.
- Sending and automatically chasing invoices.
- Bookkeeping and attaching digital invoices.
- Estimates that convert to invoices.
- Seeing all bank account balances at once.
- Easily dirt expenses into groups to see how much is spent on each category.
- Fixing the bug where I can’t access the Taxes tab to log and make payment for Vat returns. It is tedious to remember having to open QB in Chrome in an incognito browser window. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. This issue has not been resolved since I noticed it at the beginning of February 2021.

Best business tool for startups
- You can design your own package according to the business needs.
- Easily pay invoices online.
- Reconciling is much easier due to bank feeds.
- Ability to undo mistakes without calling support.
- Monthly fees are high.
- Sometimes files get lost due to software updates.
- Easy to link to bank accounts and credit cards.
- Intuitive interface for most things.
- Manageable chart of accounts that allows for good customization of products and services.
- Basic customization of invoices and language to be used in customer facing invoices/emails.
- All major financial reports are a few clicks away, most can be customized, filtered, saved, exported.
- Allows for rules to be set for common, recurring revenue and expenses - with some limitations.
- The budgets feature leaves a lot be desired - difficult and clunky to populate and maintain.
- Reporting for Budget vs Actual is available but the ability to reforecast based on updated data is not.
- The rules function to default common types of expenses isn't perfect and will get confused if like amounts or a number of similar items present.
- Invoices.
- Recording expenses.
- Reports, such as P&L.
- Slow to resolve tech issues (VAT payment).
- Add a direct link in the navigation to view estimates!
- Add document signatures to estimates.
- Easy integration with bank accounts.
- Easy to classify transactions.
- Easy reporting.
- PayPal integration doesn’t work anymore.
- Automated fixed asset depreciation.

QuickBooks Online Review
- Integrates with online accounts
- Makes matching to transactions very easy
- Connects to the Accountants Office Easily
- Make adding manual transactions easier
- Easier Journal Entry
- QuickBooks Online has amazing support to help quickly answer questions.
- There is an initial discount off the monthly charges for a set time.
- QuickBooks is well known and trusted by many business owners/accountants.
- There are continual updates and improvements to the functionality.
- I feel that some more features could be added to the lower subscription tiers.
- There could be more customization options for reports at the lower tier.
- I feel overall that QuickBooks does a great job, so no other recommendations beyond these listed previously.
- Customer Invoicing - Easy to create and email invoices to customers
- Bank Feeds - Transactions synced daily to easily record income & expenses
- Accountant Access - Easily connect your QBO file to for your accountant
- Paying Bills - In the spirit of simplifying Intuit complicated & confused this process
- Sales Tax Reporting - Still a work in progress for QBO
- Support - Extremely inconsistent support; too many support techs lack accounting knowledge & cause accounting errors
- Pricing - Unfortunately Intuit continues to nickel & dime small business with their various "improvements" & services. Customers have NO input or choice.
- Easy to create invoices, especially when using the multiple invoices feature.
- User-friendly.
- East to create financial reports.
- It would be nice to have better customization of automatic email replies for things like payment receipts and payment reminders.
- I would like a testing feature for customer correspondence, like being able to see what an automated payment reminder would look like to my customers before I set one up and implement it.
