Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks for Mac
QuickBooks (QB) is the software used for all aspects of company accounting. It provides a streamlined approach to controlling cash flow, producing monthly reports, invoicing and quickly allows an overview of the business performance. It also makes invoicing and receiving payments quick and easy to monitor on a daily basis. Reconciliation of bank accounts is normally quick and easy with the ability to link QuickBooks and our bank accounts.
- Invoicing made easy. It's easy to customize invoices as well as email them in a batch. Great time saver.
- Reconciliation of bank accounts made easy. It's simplified with the ability of linking bank accounts to QB & matching bank transactions with those transactions posted through QB.
- Creating reports & customizing reports for my CPA is also done with ease.
- QB support team has been very easy and friendly to work with as I have had many questions that I need help with from them They have been able to identify my problems and offer solutions.
- The Mac application has multiple flaws. At 1st I used the app exclusively but now only launch QB through my web browser.
- Although I have found the reconciliation of monthly bank statements to be easy I did experience 1 month that QB posted payments twice for 3 different batches of credit card payments. The help desk had never seen anything like it before. Hopefully I never see it happen again.
- The migration of accounts & customers from my previous accounting software was not at all easy and indeed was very time consuming and tedious.
- It is to early for me to evaluate this. It will probably come down to how much time does QR save me vs. what the yearly cost + yearly credit card fees amount to.
- Adobe Photoshop and Quark
Installing QB was easy and straight forward in comparison to other Mac apps. I'll be interested to see if updates are easy to accomplish. Adobe products are all cloud based as is QB & I am still uneasy about that as our business is located in a fairly remote & rural area and internet service although normally reliable is less so that in a major metro area.
