While it is has taken some time to learn to how to create and customize according to our needs, I now feel it quite simple to handle our accounting and reporting.

Pros

Remote access to our books and allows me to provide access to my accountant and board treasurer. Reports are easy to produce. Entering and classifying transactions is simple now that I know the software.

Cons

It would be great if the nonprofit version would default to the proper statement names such as Statement of Activities (for P/L) and Statement of Financial Position (for Balance Sheet).

Pros

The ease of use. QuickBooks Online allows our company to update orders, inventory, and invoices from anywhere.

Cons

The report selections aren't what we need. When looking for reports for sales you can't find them for the criteria we require.

Overpriced, Poor Support, and Billing Issues – Not Worth It

Customer support is a dealbreaker for me. Since QuickBooks failed in this area, I’ve moved to a better platform.

If you’re okay with paying high fees and tolerating poor support just to have the QuickBooks brand, the software itself is solid. But for me, it wasn’t worth the headache.

Pros

It's an accounting software with all of the features that a small to medium sized business could need. Integrations, mobile app and built-in payment processing to name a few. Probably the only one on the market that has all of these features combined.

Cons

It has a lot of hidden downsides:

1- Subscriptions get pricey real fast, especially if you work with multiple currencies or if you have payroll.

2- Customer service is a joke to them, people on the phone can't really help with technical issues other than logging in remotely and pointing to things. Their email support is also not very helpful as you can't reply to it. To me, they make it very clear that support, is not a conversation, but rather a reiteration of their terms and conditions.

3- For an accounting software, they make a lot of mistakes in their subscription billing. For instance, after canceling a $60/month subscription for one business, I was charged $60/month for another, with fewer features. When I reported this, they refused to correct the issue, citing policy.

Why is QB becoming so expensive? I originally chose QB because of loyalty to Intuit. I tried for a while but trying to get my finances in order after so long of commingling my business and personal accounts became too much. When I decided to try it again recently, now I am far priced out as a small business and as far as I know, the services are the same. I found the price hike highly disappointing. It was a good time to find out Clio began offering accounting for attorneys

Pros

I liked that it integrates with Clio as well as the other intuit product line; the interface is fairly navigable, but i am unsure the pros outweigh certain drawbacks

Cons

QB was fine, a bit hard to understand for a non-accountant; but I guess that could be because i never made use of their expert help and insisted on onboarding myself totally manually as a new businessperson
