Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Pro
QuickBooks was used to process our rental and sales division at my previous employer, as well as used to manage our billing as a whole on the other side of the industry. I got to use it to process our accounts receivable and get a full understanding of how our finances worked. In addition, I am in the process of helping a friend start his own company and consulting him in how to use QuickBooks. I did take an online certification to become certified in QuickBooks Pro.
- Allows for good itemized management for a rental/sales role
- Easy to allow multiple users to have varying levels of accessibility
- Ability for multiple people to be working in the same database at the same time was very useful
- If there were the possibility on QuickBooks for multiple users to edit the same page at the same time (like google sheets) it would be extremely useful
- The learning database provided by quickbooks could've been a little simpler
- It would be nice for QuickBooks to be able to integrate a mail server like a MailChimp
- It was a great time saver. Once we knew how to use the software well we were able to save good amounts of time in our business finances.
- It provided a great place for data management where whiteboards had previously been used
- It was nice because it allowed us to mange all the parts of our company on the same database
QuickBooks has its pros and cons. From a simplistic point of view, I definitely prefer running QuickBase, which is the software my current company uses in addition to Salesforce. QuickBooks worked really well for doing detailed reporting, however, it did have what feels like a bigger learning curve than QuickBase - but I supposed that is to be expected with a more detailed software.
