Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Online

We use QuickBooks Online to keep our accounting books, for financial statements, for forecasting and to track customer and vendor activities. The founder/CEO, the bookkeeper and I use it.
  • I like the QuickBooks Online dashboard and how it gives me a running total of revenue and expenses for the past thirty days. It is brief, well-illustrated, and easy to use.
  • I like the QuickBooks Online interface with our banking accounts for easy reconciliation and import to book transactions.
  • I like that we can each access the books from different locations and see the QuickBooks Online transactions real-time.
  • QuickBooks Online needs help with journal entries. If I accrue a sales transaction to the proper month and reverse it the next month, it may show up in the overdue balance in the customer's activity. This is confusing when confirming outstanding balances due.
  • We would use Direct Deposit in QuickBooks Online, but it is costly. Our bank provides free options for transfers.
  • When I update the bank balances, the transactions showing the difference do not always appear. Yet, it will show a green check mark, anyway.
  • QuickBooks Online definitely saves me time when preparing our strategic plan.
  • QuickBooks Online also saves our bookkeeper time from having to manually enter banking activity.
I also liked using NetSuite, but QuickBooks online is more user friendly.

Do you think QuickBooks Online delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with QuickBooks Online's feature set?

Yes

Did QuickBooks Online live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of QuickBooks Online go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy QuickBooks Online again?

Yes

The journal entries need work for better accrual accounting and subledger interface.
The QuickBooks Online support team is incredibly helpful. They can remote in to assist you if needed.
For a more robust organization, you really need to use QuickBooks Enterprise to provide more functionality. However, for a lean company with straightforward financials, it is an excellent choice, especially if you work remotely.
