QuickBooks Desktop

Highest Effective Accounting Software!

Comments: I've been utilizing this software for a while now. The best accounting software comes from facts. It offers all the features required for routine accounting work. But it does need some guidance and practice. If an accountant starts with the right skills for using the software, he won't need any other alternatives.

Pros:

It is widely utilized on a large scale. Customers are at ease utilizing it. It gives flawless data reporting and synchronizes with other platforms and software. This makes all accounting tasks simple. The wonderful thing is that it advances daily.

Cons:

The cost is the only negative aspect. Undoubtedly, it is a worthwhile investment, but less privileged users would benefit much from flexible planning.

Quickbooks solves your accounting needs.

Comments: Quickbooks does everything I need in terms of my accounting and customer tracking.

Pros:

I liked having a program that has so many useable functions for my accounting.

Cons:

I didn't like the fact that I couldn't access the program from anywhere.

Don’t buy - bad idea

Pros:

Not friendly . Always issues continuous rebooting . Issues with updates . Spent hours over the years on the phone sorting out issues

Cons:

I used quick books desktop for 14 years . Sold out business , and the way I could it to finish year end was to pay them $160/ month . They would not even let me disable the payroll section , even when not needing it anymore . They shut you down immediately and you cannot even go back to review anything you need from the prior 14 years . They will take your money no problem

Easy to Use

Pros:

very easy to use with a good layout that made finding what you needed easy

Cons:

After some updates things got moved around which made it difficult to find things. There also is less compatibility with other software's when compared to Quickbooks Online

While it can seem complex, it is a vital tool for any business.

Comments: I have been using QuickBooks for about six years now. It was quite daunting at first because it did seem so complex. There are many features. Our usage has changed slightly over the years as we have moved some features to other software's that allow us to work more efficiently. Originally we used QB for all of the normal backend financial needs, inventory, work orders, job notes, estimates and much more. We slowly transitioned some needs over to a different software for jobs, work orders, deficiencies, quotes and even front counter shop usage. We still use QB for all of our financial needs, but QB and this new software can work together to provide service for all our needs. They talk to each other and work seamlessly together. As for QB by itself, I have been very pleased over the years and are completely happy with the performance and support we get while using the software.

Pros:

When using QuickBooks correctly and to its upmost ability, I feel like the reports are one of the best features. You can run reports on just about anything you like based off how you use the software. From P&L to inventory and much more. I also really like how easy it is to add parts to be used for quotes. Quoting was super simple through QB.

Cons:

One thing I don't like that isn't really a fault of QB is how it sometimes does not talk to other software's that we are using. It is setup in a way that is can, but we do have issues sometimes and need to run a few processes to push over invoicing between the two. Another thing that we aren't really excited for is being forced to switch to at least QuickBooks online as we have been using the desktop version. It looks like it is being discontinued here before too long and we will have to switch to online or lose our support for desktop.
