Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Premier
Used as accounting software to generate account receivable, account payable reports, P&Ls, and documents needed to prepare tax returns. We use it to analyze the business on a monthly basis. Aids with budgeting and planning for the future. Provides and environment whereby we can contact clients and follow up on receivables, etc.
- It's intuitive if you have an accounting background.
- The help section typically offers reliable information to answer questions
- I like the email functionality with sending invoices directly to clients.
- Adjusting entries
- Self created communications for emailing clients
- Journal entry suggestions
- Assisted with collections
- Managing cash flow
Due to QBs reputation, I did not consider any other accounting software. It was the "go to" for us.

QuickBooks Premier Implementation
- Implemented in-house
- Professional services company
At first, we tried to implement in house, but then realized that some professional support was needed. Once a few hours were spent with a QB certified user the system was easier to use and we have been successful since then.
Yes - In house at first and then hired an outside consultant to help clean up and get us on the right track.
Change management was minimal
- General lack of knowledge of all facets of the software
- lack of payroll entry needed to create our own journal entry to book payroll.
- Inconsistent use of the system
