QuickBooks Desktop Premier

When entering year-end entries for our clients, it is frustrating that AR and AP need to be the first line of a journal entry. This makes it so you can't adjust both AR and AP in the same AJE

It is easy for our clients to make mistakes when filing their GST returns with QuickBooks. If balances aren't cleared, GST paid and collected can be doubled up in subsequent filings, resulting in incorrect GST returns being filed.

Some functionality is catered to unsophisticated users to make it easier for them to track data (AR & AP specifically), but any errors or incorrect entries in these accounts are very difficult to correct. For accounting purposes, a simple journal entry can correct the ending balance, but it is very difficult to have the AR and AP reports reflect the updated balances.

The new subscription prices are very high, so we have been referring more of our clients to QuickBooks Online. This allows them to invite us as users to their account, while also saving money every month. It is disappointing that users can no longer buy a perpetual license for the product and must now pay more for a 12 month subscription than they used to pay for a perpetual license.

Backwards compatibility between desktop files would make it much easier for some of our older clients to continue using their old QuickBooks Desktop Premier versions each year so they don't have to learn an updated program. This would also allow us to prepare journal entries for our clients with older desktop versions and still have them be able to restore the updated file to their version of QuickBooks Desktop Premier.
