QuickBooks Online Review

My overall experience with QBA has been rewarding and satisfying. So far the software has lived up to my expectations.

PROS

It is very popular, easy to use and constantly updating to meet client needs and expectations.

CONS

I basically love everything about this software.

Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Accountant

QBOA met all my requirements. It was a popular software than needed little promotion as many of our clients were familiar with the software and their support to Bookkeepers along with the fact that they provide QBOA at no cost to bookkeepers was a real incentive. The main reason for using QBOA was the fact that once you qualify as a QBO Pro-Advisor, they help promote your business and put your out their as a certified QB advisor.

Best accounting software to provide accounting and bookkeeping for my small business clients.

Overall I have had a good experience with Quickbooks Online Accountant. It has definitely improved over the years in functionality and continues to get better.

PROS

I like that it is widely used & accepted by many small businesses and that he price is good for myself and my clients. I also like the integrations with the bank feeds and other apps which makes recording transactions a breeze. The step-by-step instructions which can be found with their online support is very useful and shareable with clients when they need to know how to do something in Quickbooks. I like the Accountant Tools features because it helps me to make corrections and changes much easier & quicker. I also really like the newer Books Review page. It helps me to clean up client books and message them with questions directly out of Quickbooks. I like that it is cloud based so there is no longer fear of a clients books getting lost on a damaged computer or network. Also, it allows me to be able to provide accounting services to my clients from home no matter where they are located.

CONS

There are a few quirks with some of the newer features of the software, but I am sure those will get worked out. I also have not had a great experience with the phone support team. Sometimes they are able to help, but I have been steered wrong by support in the past and ended up figuring out the fix on my own after spending a long time on a call with support.

Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Accountant

For my small business clients, it provides more functionality and better reporting than the less expensive options. It is less expensive than some of the more complex accounting software options, which suits most of my accounting clients.

I have never hated a piece of software more in my life

Constant glitches, Constant errors, constant investigating into why QBO is failign me, constant sync issues with my bank, constant reentry and correcting of data, constant hesitation to trust anything this software is telling me, constant confusion with little understanding of the problems by support staff.

PROS

Support is quick and responsive all the time which is it's only saving grace.

CONS

Relying on a software that is online only means that if there are glitches or errors because of it's network or code executed in a webpage, this critically damages your books. Frequently quickbooks online will say that everything is correct and up to date when in reality there are numerous sync issues and entries duplicated by system glitches, also the fact that it ignores currency conversion means that what you had expected as correct is wrong and ensures you have hundreds of days of investigating to do to track down issues.

QuickBook Online Accounting Software Personal Experience

We've started the software in January 2020 but decided to shift to other software because it wasn't fulfilling our organizational need. so the experience with quickbooks online version wasn't good for us.

PROS

It's ease of use and the customer support is great. Also basic level reporting is good.

CONS

In the start, it looks great to use but with the passage of the time we came to know that there are many missing. Specially Advance level of reporting system. You can't customize the reporting according to your organizational need. Plus, Inward Gate passes and Outward Gate passes were missing. You can not integrate with sms gateway. Customers & Vendors ledger formats were another big issue because you can't customize them according to your organizational need. They need to Improve inventory section too because unable to track record of daily issuance there.

Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Accountant

Infect we were searching for a cloud base Accounting Software with Advance Inventory options that we couldn't find after purchasing and using.

Reasons for switching to QuickBooks Online Accountant

Because it wasn't fulfilling our organizational needs.

Best product out there for the job that bookkeepers do

I love QBO Accountant! I tried a few other bookkeeping software, but none compare to this workhorse.

PROS

I love that this software lets you do full-service bookkeeping, from categorizing transactions, to adding additional layers such as classes and locations, reconciling statements, connecting other apps, and fantastic reporting!

CONS

The customer service is hit and miss, and usually takes a few hours to resolve any problems. Thankfully I don't need to contact them very often.

Reason for choosing QuickBooks Online Accountant

Xero was very difficult to learn, plus I didn't feel like Americans were confident in using it, and Wave was very limited in the reporting and time saving tasks.

Vendor Response

Hey there, Rachel! It's great hearing that QuickBooks Online for Accountants has helped make doing your clients bookkeeping super simple! If you ever need any help or have questions, please feel free to reach out through the 'Help (?)' icon within your account. Then we can get you taken care of from there! We also have several step-by-step articles in our QB Community right here: (quickbooks.intuit.com/community)! We appreciate you! -Faith, The QuickBooks Team

QBO is great because you can access it anywhere and when it is set up correctly it is very simple to use.

CONS

The customer service is awful. Most of the time they don’t know how to answer your questions and if they are going to get back to you, they never do.

No undo features very easy to mess up a years worth of book-keeping with one mistake

I enjoyed the first year, but in the second year Quickbooks could not handle the workload and many errors started. I lost a year's worth of bookkeeping and accounting history.

PROS

It's fast for a cloud accounting option. It easy to get started but it can become overwhelming very quickly.

CONS

No undo features make it very easy to mess up a year's worth of book-keeping with one mistake. I learned the hard way. The online and call-for-help customer support is completely useless.

Cheap option for rapid growth

Quickbooks is simplistic and feasible for start up ventures.

PROS

Cost profile is very low. Operations are simplistic. We actually started using a 3rd party platform (Glean AI) for reading and importing third party invoices into Quickbooks. The combination of Glean AI and Quickbooks has been a wonderful addition and saved significant time and effort with recording payments and invoices.

CONS

Lack of internal controls and inability to create a GAAP based cash flow. Largely manual system for PO creation, ordering, receiving, etc. Must track certain items outside of Quickbooks.

Makes my Life So Much Easier

I am very happy with Quickbooks Online Accountant. I used to offer my clients the option to do their books in other software, but I have decided that due to my preferences, I will only work in QBO now.

My favorite thing about Quickbooks Online Accountant software is the centralized dashboard that lets me see all my clients. I also love the ability that it gives me to message each of my clients from within the software.

Once you have the base of how to use QBO it's is very easy using it daily. It is very common so most people know what you are talking about when you say that you use QBO.

CONS

Although QBO can integrate with other apps, doesn't always mean that they should be connected. Some times the System Admin. Will add invoices or payments by duplicating them every time an update is made. You have to wait until you get through the clean up headache to know to disconnect.

PROS

I like that all of my clients can be accessed with one log in.

I also use payroll and I don't like that payroll adjustments can't be made easily. The software tries so hard to take accounting work out of accounting software that it sometimes makes it difficult for an accountant to use.
