Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Desktop Pro

We used QuickBooks Desktop Pro for all of the accounting work for my company. Actually, we used Desktop Pro for multiple companies. QuickBooks' software is designed to help you be able to have clean records of your accounting transactions and be able to generate reports from that information. It is very easy to set up and learn how to use the basic features. QuickBooks offers a ton of training videos to learn about all of the features so you can maximize your value from QuickBooks.
  • Keep your financial data all in one place.
  • Ability to generate all kinds of reports like P&Ls, Balance Sheets, and custom reports.
  • Bank Feed option struggles to always work with your linked bank account.
  • Data is not automatically backed up so you have the risk of losing your data.
  • Affordable option to keep your data all in one place.
  • Easy to use and train employees on how to use.
QuickBooks Desktop Pro is a great option if you just want to pay a one-time fee and are okay that the software does not have any updates included. QuickBooks Desktop Pro provides an affordable way to manage your accounting for your business no matter the size of the business. It can be a multi million dollar company or a brand new company just starting out. QuickBooks Desktop Pro is very easy to use and get set up.
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 The downside of this is that your software can quickly get outdated and you will have to pay for new software every few years.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.
