Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Desktop Pro

We’ve used QuickBooks Pro for client invoicing and tax preparation. On the client-side, we started using QuickBooks Desktop Pro before transitioning to their online site. However, the best thing about QuickBooks Desktop Pro was that it was easy to transfer our content to the online version. For tax prep, we have used QuickBooks Desktop Pro to manage our forms.
  • Manages invoicing process
  • Easy to duplicate previous invoices
  • Ability to access remotely
  • User friendliness for first time users
  • Allows for consistent billing process.
  • Provides a one stop shop for tax documents.
QuickBooks Online is a great cloud-based accounting software that is easy to use and accessible from anywhere. QuickBooks Desktop Pro is a fantastic option for users who are stationary and rely on using the same computers on a weekly basis. For those on the go who may need to create and send invoices from a phone, iPad, etc., QuickBooks Online would be a better solution.
QuickBooks Pro is great for businesses that invoice often, have multiple clients, have repetitive business and will need to use accounting software each week. It would not be as ideal for startups, and/or companies that would not need to bill often. For that, I would suggest an easier to use/free software until Quickbooks is necessary.
