Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Online
It is only used in accounting and bookkeeping, with some timekeeping for hourly employees. So just basically one department uses it. It is our only software to really keep track of our expenses, spending, billing, and money in and money out.
- Track billing.
- Create reports.
- Categorize expenses.
- Track payments.
- Timekeeping is not as specific.
- It doesn't talk to our program, an in-house intranet called ArchiOffice.
- Is not meant for our specific industry, which is architecture, so we have to use another program, ArchiOffice.
- Project management is lacking.
- It's universal in that if I hire a different accountant, they'll be able to pick it up and use it, since a lot of people know how it works.
- The reports are the fastest and most user-friendly to get information.
- I haven't been able to translate it for unconventional businesses, though. For this business, with invoicing, like bills in and out, it's fine, but as an artist, I haven't been able to figure out what to do with this program, so I haven't used it and it's too expensive for me.
- Because it doesn't speak to our Time management architecture software, as Quickbooks desktop does, we've had to do double entry work.
- Zoom and ArchiOffice
QuickBooks Online is way more user-friendly, faster, and I can log in anywhere. It's also more widely accepted. We also didn't choose it, per se. Our bookkeeper chose it, and that's what we go with.
