Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Pro
I do accounting consultant work for several small businesses. I use QuickBooks because of the flexibility and ease of use that it gives me. I use QuickBooks to generate financial reports for my clients for their banking and tax needs. When my clients first came to me they didn't understand the importance of these financial reports until they starting seeking financial backing.
- The ease to make changes. This is important because if you see an error, you can double click on it and change it instead of having to make an adjusting entry to fix it.
- The ability to pull up detail quickly. If you run a summary report and you notice an account amount doesn't look correct; then you can double click on it to bring up the details without having to run another report.
- Ability to change the format of a report. When you run a report, you can go into the custom option and change the report criteria (time period, what accounts you want to show, reporting base (cash or accrual), etc.).
- When my cursor is on an entry in the bank register and I want to open the other bank account, instead of it opening my other bank account register it opens the register for the vendor that my cursor is on at the time.
- I have clients that operate on a cash basis so instead of saving this criteria when I run reports I have to keep going to the custom to change it from accrual to cash.
- I would like more options for my vendor and customer reports.
- The ease of using QuickBooks has enabled me to get more clients.
- My clients are pleased with the type of reports they get, which helps me retain their business.
- I have a client who uses the accrual accounting method and there are vendor reports that I would like to be able to run without having to export it first. I will say that there may be but I haven't found it yet.
On my full time job, I work with an accounting software called SAP IRIS. There is really no flexibility within the SAP software because if you make a mistake, you have to call the support desk to get help. It is rare that you can fix something on your own. That is why I prefer QuickBooks in my own personal business because I don't have time to call the support desk if I accidently enter something incorrectly. I can fix it myself plus they for forum that I can go to and find the answer. So, I highly recommend QuickBooks Pro.
