Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Pro
I use QuickBooks Pro to keep track of my clients' invoices and payments. It helps me to stay organized and lets me know who has paid and who hasn't. At the start of each month, I generate both paper and PDF invoices to send out for remittance. Also, I tend to use it to view client payment history over a long period of time.
- Generating Invoices - QuickBooks Pro makes this process very easy.
- Client Contact Information - This allows you to have one place where you can access all of your clients' information.
- Unpaid Invoices - Looking through the Customer Center listings, you can see which invoices haven't been paid yet and how many days late they are.
- Vendors - You can easily keep track of your vendors and what you have paid them.
- Company Snapshot - Provides useful revenue/expense numbers and a list of who owes you payments.
- Ads - My goodness, they really want you to upgrade and aren't shy about showing ads. Gets annoying very quickly. Same for their payment processing solution.
- Keyboard Shortcuts - I often find some standard keyboard shortcuts (like CTRL-A) behave differently in QuickBooks Pro and make certain tasks more of a pain.
- Performance - Sometimes, even on a relatively fast computer, the software runs a bit on the slow side.
- QuickBooks Pro has helped me stay much more organized when it comes to billing.
- Generating invoices couldn't be much easier, and that has saved me a lot of time.
- Ability to backup and restore data has saved me during a few computer crashes.
- I don't believe there have really been any negative impacts from using QuickBooks Pro.
