Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Online

We use QuickBooks Online (QBO) for all bookkeeping, invoicing and reporting. It solves all of our booking and a/r needs.
  • QuickBooks makes invoicing and matching transactions easy.
  • QuickBooks can generate accurate p&ls, balance sheets and gives you a good picture of what’s going on with your business.
  • They have a great mobile app that is very functional as well.
  • QuickBooks online can be very slow, sometimes very frustrating.
  • Better customer support.
  • More training options for newcomers, it’s not an easy to learn software if you’ve never used accounting software before.
  • As the company has grown it has really become an integral part of our business. It's a very robust program, we use it as a daily tool for bookkeeping and A/P.
  • We haven't used all the features of QBO, and it does take a good amount of learning/trial & error to get up to speed. I would recommend using a QuickBooks certified consultant if you need the training.
  • Overall QBO has really helped organize our small business.
QBO is much more robust than the other free programs. There is so much more you can do with it compared to the other programs. I had zero accounting experience and I'd say the other programs were a bit easier to learn, but overall QuickBooks has more features and capabilities and gives me a good picture of how the business is doing. You can create custom reports; their reports are some of the best and easiest to run I've seen.
It’s great for sending invoices and matching transactions. Also for running aging a/r reports and others.
