Additionally the functionalities are second to other systems. > > My overall experience with quickbooks has been very positive with the system being effective for financial management and reporting. ----- ### "Quickbooks / INTUIT instinctive automation" — 5.0/5 > **Ruth** | *18 January 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use the help section within the program. Particularly like that you can use the search bar for specific key words and find the relevant help section. Have also used the online customer service team to answer questions too and they have resolved my queries promptly. Recent integration with Dext has been super helpful for streamlining the processing of incoming invoices / receipts allowing for quicker bookkeeping and accounts. I like that when they implement the user interface changes they are fairly subtle and usually easy to adjust to. Keep it simple quickbooks\! If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Simplicity and automation are QB/ Intuits biggest sell IMO. > > **Cons**: We’ve had a few glitches within the program in the past. For example - some automated emails were failing to send to some customers. These glitches seem to take FOREVER to fix. A speedier solution for longstanding issues in future would be fantastic. Another thing that seems to happen regularly is bank feeds fall off. Again, I’m sure that Qbooks/ intuit are aware and it’s not simple to fix. Bit it can be frustrating when manual intervention is required- automation and simplicity is what customers like. > > Generally great instinctive program, nice clear and simple UI. easy to find help within the program and community itself. ----- ### "Like an in screen accountant\!" — 5.0/5 > **Sannah** | *9 June 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to quickly complete accounts and see an estimate of the tax figure year by year. It is easy to add receipts alongside expenses without the need to store paper receipts. > > **Cons**: There is not a lot to dislike about this software, apart from the fact that you must reconnect to bank accounts every few months. > > Easy to use, saves time and good value for money. It makes accounting easier and is a really good way to get organised prior to submitting accounts to your accountant. ----- ### "Great product" — 5.0/5 > **James** | *4 January 2025* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy of use and ability to keep track of everything > > **Cons**: We had to move to online for payroll aswell as Hmrc digital ----- ### "Quick Books new user" — 4.0/5 > **Jo** | *27 February 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very user friendly for the basics and easy as a new user to navigate > > **Cons**: Little more tricky to see things behind the scenes > > I've only been using quick books for a few months and it's been easy to find my around the system and get used to the basics ----- Page: 1 / 103\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/173879/quickbooks-desktop-pro?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/173879/quickbooks-desktop-pro) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
