Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Online

We use QuickBooks Online for our finances, including our P&L, cash flow, and balance sheet. It is the tool for our financial records, used by our bookkeeper for monthly close and our tax accountants for annual taxes. I use it to pull reports for our board and to track our performance against our forecast.

Pros

  • Easy to use reporting
  • Easy to review expenses
  • Integrates with other systems (like Ramp)

Cons

  • Forecasting tooling could be improved
  • We need to do our revenue recognition with other software
  • Better sense of our finances for forecasting and planning
  • Easy reporting for due diligence with investors
Very usable without a strong finance background

Well-suited for straightforward businesses and startups. Revenue recognition requires extra tooling. As the business gets more complicated overall, I've heard we likely need to upgrade to something with more power and functionality like Netstuite
