Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Online Advanced
We use QuickBooks Online Advanced for all our accounting and financial management needs, including vendor and customer/donor records, accounts payables, payable tracking, bank reconciliation, cash management, financial reporting, annual budgeting and YOY key financial metrics comparisons. Before implementing into QuickBooks Online, we hired a third-party bookkeeping firm to manage our accounting and financial records, but encountered many issues, including making errors not caught by the previous accounting team. Once moved the functions in house, things have been smooth and the annual audit process and result have been great. Thanks QuickBooks Online!
Pros
- Having unlimited Class, so we can use the classes to track projects balances and transactions.
- Can allow more users to manage the same books
- Link directly to bank accounts and receive transactions records on real time.
Cons
- Don't like the new format of the reports, having to always select the classic views
- Hope the QuickBooks Online Advanced can create/improve its module for non-profit organizations, such as the financial statements layouts.
- No quantitative impact, but it implements our internal control and standard procedures, and ensure all our records are in compliance and meet the requirements for the annual audit process which is essential to our non-profit organization.
The set up was quite easy. I took some online training causes, and figured our the rest pretty quickly. The only issue I had during the implementation process was it was very hard to change some of the GL Account name to reflect the needs of a non-profit organization, such as Net Assets. At the end I had to scratch what I did, and used the existing formats that the third-party bookkeeping firm shared. Everything else is simple and easy to manage and implement.
We had the experience of multiple employees using from different locations, actually from different countries, and it has been smooth and effective. We can assign different levels of user permission to different employees and we can check the activities of each user for certain time frame when we found out an issue and made sure involved employees received appropriate trainings.
It addresses our business needs nicely. We are a small non-profit organization. Our needs for managing the accounting and financial records and reports are simple but the accuracy requirement is high, so we need to relay on an tool to ensure highest level of accuracy in accounting and financial data with minimized risks of losing or damaged data. QuickBooks Online Advanced fit the requirements nicely.
Quickbooks online advanced is much simple and easier to use, so it fits better to the ticket of our small non-profit organization needs. The other options are either, or both, more pricy and complicated than the QuickBooks Online Advanced. For example, the implementation for QuickBooks Online Advanced was simple enough for me to do so in-house with training courses available and phone calls to a customer service representative or implementation expert accessible.
