The automation for tax calculations and filings is also a major relief—it’s very efficient for staying compliant without needing to be a payroll expert. > > **Cons**: The customer support can be frustrating when you run into a specific, tricky issue, as wait times can be long. Additionally, while the core features are great, the pricing can start to feel expensive as your team grows and you need to add more employees or advanced reporting features. > > QuickBooks Payroll has been a reliable backbone for managing our employee payments, tax compliance, and pay stubs. It’s intuitive once you have it set up, and it really simplifies the administrative burden of running a small business. While there’s a learning curve and support could be more responsive, the time I save on manual payroll tasks makes it well worth the investment. ----- ### "A Decent Payroll Solution for Small Businesses" — 4.0/5 > **Clara** | *8 August 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: QuickBooks Payroll works well enough for our small business payroll needs. I like how easy it is to set up new employees and manage benefits. It's also great for running payroll and generating reports. We've used it for about a year now, and it's been pretty solid. > > **Cons**: One thing I don't like is the lack of a free trial for the payroll software. We took a bit to figure out how to use the system properly, and it would've been nice to have a trial period to test it out before committing to a paid plan. Not a huge deal, but it's something to consider. > > I've had a largely positive experience with QuickBooks Payroll, finding it to be user-friendly and efficient for my payroll needs. However, occasional issues with payroll tax calculations and customer support have prevented me from giving it a perfect score, resulting in a solid 4-star rating. ----- ### "Great app." — 4.0/5 > **Nicola** | *6 April 2026* | Music | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked that I could do all my payroll on the one application without having to use another application. > > **Cons**: It could be a little confusing to get used to initially but once you get the hang of it it is great. ----- ### "Quickbooks Payroll review" — 4.0/5 > **Matt** | *19 April 2025* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The platform is easy to use, and easy enough to find the information that I need. > > **Cons**: Whilst overall a good platform, it does not automatically communicate with staff about their payslips. It would be helpful to have the system automatically send payslips to staff in an ideal world. ----- ### "Straightforward for the most part, could be simpler in some areas" — 5.0/5 > **Jack** | *4 December 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Typically it is easier to use than other market leaders. Once you are familiar with the platform it is easy to find what you need, the inclusion of a bookmarking/favourites feature helps with this also. > > **Cons**: On some aspects of Payroll, it seemed to over complicate the process, such as whenever you made changes to an employee, the process could be simplified to be more streamline and also less jargon and more helpful tips and text for functions relating to payroll specifically such as NI rates etc. > > Generally overall a good experience. I no longer use this because I no longer need to manage my own payroll, however because of how simple the platform was in general, and for headline figures, I would use it again. ----- Page: 1 / 41\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/174981/quickbooks?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/174981/quickbooks) ## 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 | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
