Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Premier
As an accounting firm, we use QuickBooks Premier for our own in-house accounting, and for our clients' accounting and payroll.
Pros
- QuickBooks Premier is easy to use, yet flexible and powerful enough to handle some complicated accounting scenarios.
- QuickBooks Premier offers a wide array of canned reports. Custom reports can be easily created.
- QuickBooks Premier with Enhanced Payroll gives us the tools to handle complex payrolls with multiple variables.
Cons
- Support for older versions of QuickBooks ends after three years, then users must purchase the newest version at full price. Renewals should be deeply discounted for existing users.
- I would like to see better in-product inventory tracking, so we can choose LIFO or FIFO rather than the ambiguous "average cost" method.
- I would like to be able to assign payroll taxes to jobs for better job costing.
- Being QuickBooks ProAdvisors with many years of experience, we can give top-quality support to our clients who use QuickBooks. This adds value to our standard accounting firm suite of services.
QuickBooks Premier is more powerful and versatile than QuickBooks Online. We use QuickBooks Premier in a hosted environment, which allows our clients to access their software online, but retains the great features of QuickBooks Premier that we love. QuickBooks Online's web-page interface is much more cumbersome than the stand-alone interface of QuickBooks Premier (or Pro) desktop version.
