Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Online Advanced

QuickBooks allows me to help not only my company but other small business I manage, organize their day to day financial business operations. It allows me to generate reports, run payroll smoothly, I received unlimited support 24/7, and I have access to unlimited training. There are some 3rd party that doesn't work well most of the time for my clients i.e. PayPal and the QuickBooks banking is not at all working well due to the transfer from outside business accounts it's not real time like the normal banking system which is not good for me or my clients. Overall I like using QuickBooks and have been a fan since 2008 with the Desktop version, so the online is much easier for me and I love the fact its cloud based.

Pros

  • Allows reports to be customized
  • Categorize incoming bank transactions
  • Reconcile and pull in the bank statements

Cons

  • 3rd party apps syncing i.e. PayPal
  • Improving the QuickBooks Checking Account by adding real time transfers
  • Bank Syncing loses the connection too often
  • QBOA has shown my clients the increase and decrease of my monthly income activity
  • I am able to project my income and spending more easily
  • The P&L reports has shown me a lot and by customizing to focus on my income and expenses has allowed me to better budget
For me it's user friendly and the training guides you to set up easily. I am a computer user and good with hardware and software so it was pretty simple. Those who are not efficient in this area, the training will make you think you are pretty good in setting up your business.
I have not had to use the mobile a lot but when I don't have my laptop it is not hard to use the app. I have done payroll on the go and it has been successful. I have not had to use the time sheet to calculate an employee's time as of today.
I have a bookkeeping and tax firm and all my clients are organized and invoicing each tax client or sending a sales receipt makes my job easy, stress free, and somewhat enjoyable. I have clients that I manage their QBO and I have no problem keeping up with their flow of business transactions and payroll. If I need help it's just a click away.
I have not evaluated any yet. I have used QuickBooks since 2008 and I used Sage in the corporate environment before using QuickBooks. Honestly, I can't remember it because it was early 2000's. I thought about evaluating and looking because of the issues I've had with QuickBooks, but I haven't really investigated.

QuickBooks is a great way to manage your business finances and payroll. Even though there a things that are not perfect the software or product is the best I've experienced for small businesses. I highly recommend QuickBooks Online Advanced. It allows small businesses to manage inventory and utilizing the POS system works for many businesses. I don't have a need for the POS but I have heard good things about it.
