Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Pro

We use QuickBooks Pro for all facets of our accounting processes - invoicing, inventory control, A/P and A/R, reporting, payroll, quarterly and annual reporting, taxes etc. Currently, the only departments using QuickBooks within our organization are the accounting/human resources and operations departments. Having QuickBooks Pro has simplified many of the cumbersome processes involved in invoicing advertisers as well as paying affiliates. QuickBooks Pro makes it easy to see where the company is financially in just a few clicks of a button. I can run reports for just about any facet of my job and easily report back to my employer with vital information regarding cash flow, payroll, and inventory with confidence that the accuracy and viability are excellent.
  • Inventory Control - we are able to easily control what inventory comes in and goes out through our use of this feature.
  • Invoicing - we are able to easily invoice clients without the hassle of hand written (and sometimes illegible) invoices. Printing, emailing and saving invoices to a PDF make getting the invoices out seamless and allows cash flow to continue uninterrupted.
  • Billing - we use this feature in an unconventional way that allows us to see what we are paying out for services rendered by contract employees. Again super easy and seamless processing of outgoing funds.
  • The new updates coming in 2018 edition are covering some of my basic concerns and desires, for instance, the ability to stamp invoices PAST DUE within QuickBooks is going to be very useful for us.
  • I would like very much for the Bank Feeds center to work a bit less complicated perhaps direct linking to the bank as opposed to pulling the bank web address to access.
  • I work on three monitors, my current version will not allow me to utilize all three monitors. I understand the upgrade is going to fix that. I am very excited for this.
  • QuickBooks has had a positive impact on our objectives as it has simplified how we do most anything accounting related. we no longer have to go to a drawer somewhere and pull out a piece of paper to find the answer we are looking for.
  • Streamline processes and simplify workflows.
  • Ease of reporting.
  • Quicken
QuickBooks Pro was more appropriate for our industry than Quicken and is certainly less limited than some other options I've used in the past.
I think QuickBooks Pro is well suited to the daily actions I utilize it for - invoicing, entering bills, tracking credit card expenses, issuing payroll, reconciling bank accounts all happen daily for me. I have a colleague who uses QuickBooks for her manufacturing business and has some struggles that make QuickBooks a bit less appropriate for her industry. However, she has worked through many of those struggles using add-ons and externally compatible options.
