It's easy to get your head around and creating products, services and invoices is super straight forward. I love how I can link my bank account to it. #### Cons I wish there were more features to tailor to my needs and to integrate other apps/services like GoCardless. However that's quite a big ask considering how cheap the subscription is. #### Reasons for switching to QuickBooks Solopreneur Zoho Books was more expensive and a lot more complicated to figure out. It did have more features, but simplicity is key for a small business. --- ### budge Estimator - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: fannie c. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Electrical/ Electronic Manufacturing - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I could build confidence and learn how to keep my books. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Easy to use, to learn and set up. I could learn the basics of freelance book-keeping #### Cons not sure. It served all my needs at the time. #### Reasons for choosing QuickBooks Solopreneur Price-features were the right for me at the time --- ### A needed tool, but expensive. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chris J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It has been ok, but definitely needed. Price hikes have been frustrating over the last few years. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like that it comes with state and fed tax filing bundled, as well as the quarterly deposit reporting. #### Cons The cost. Unfortunately, no one else seems to offer a comparable product. Also, at tax time a couple of years ago, I had a fairly hard with support, as I was passed around between different techs, and it took forever to resolve my issue. #### Reasons for choosing QuickBooks Solopreneur FreshBooks couldn't satisfy all my tax needs. --- ### Solid product but lacking some features - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Nick H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. QuickBooks Self-Employed has been the most cost-effective tool for tracking expenses that we have found so far for the Sole-Proprietor's small business. While it has its flaws, it is still better than the alternative...having no tools to help record business expenses. Still keeping our eyes open for other options. Thinking about moving up to QuickBooks Online if our profits go up and can justify the price tag. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros This product was built for the person running a sole propriety. It is very easy to track business expenses. It takes less than a minute to enter an expense and upload a receipt. The mobile app can also track your mileage put on a vehicle for business purposes all year long. Its integration with TurboTax makes it very easy to file taxes as it pulls in all the business expenses and categorizes them for you. You can create and send basic invoices. #### Cons As far as I've been able to tell it has no way of tracking or entering Income unless a customer pays through the QuickBooks portal. Checks or other forms of payment (outside of QuickBooks) will not show up as income. Therefore, the running "Profit/Loss" number at the top of the screen is pretty inaccurate. You can only clear this up when filing taxes through Turbo Tax and entering W2s, other tax documents, and manually enter income. This feature may work just fine if you connect a bank account. We do not. So, it might pull in deposits automatically for you to mark as business or personal transactions. #### Reasons for choosing QuickBooks Solopreneur Price. Our business is so small right now that the alternative cost much more due to including features we cannot yet take advantage of. However, it does include all the features we wish Self-Employed had. #### Vendor response We definitely appreciate your business, and your feedback regarding QuickBooks Self-Employed. To make sure you're getting full use out of the app we'd like to give you the link on how to enter your income or expense transactions without having to connect your bank account (https://tinyurl.com/2p962kfw) Wishing you continued success -Kristina, The QuickBooks Team Replied January 2022 --- ### No Support, Lots of changes, glitches, almost zero Documentation - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Abby B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered There's just no accountability, they're too big and they have too many products. They don't care about their customers, they don't care about "how bad it would look" when they make terrible changes that cause damage to small businesses. They're too big to hurt, too big to care. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Mileage tracking is great and easy to use. Can connect bank accounts and automatically categorize expenses to certain businesses. You can invoice clients and have them click to pay online via ACH Debit without any fees. #### Cons Things regularly change and then don't work right. There's no announcement about these changes, nor documentation. Functionality gets removed but options will still be there. There's very little documentation. You can request a call from Support, but the call will require you first training someone on what your specific QB product does/doesn't do (because there are 100 different versions) and then once you train their callcenter person, they'll put you on hold for a while and then give you a really strange answer and blow you off. #### Reasons for switching to QuickBooks Solopreneur So I could have clients pay invoices online via check, ACH Debit, without any fees or credit card %. And for mileage tracking --- ### Sticken with Quicken - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Amy H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Management Consulting - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. My overall experience with QuickBooks self employed is I am completely satisfied and enjoy the use of the software currently as my bookkeeper. It has been an asset to my small business #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The thing I am most fond of with QuickBooks Self-Employed version is the ease of use. The software offers a user the functions that cover all necessary withholding categories that are required on a state and federal level. It inputs the correct taxes, insurance, fees etc. required by law within your area. And if you are not within regulation it notifies you and offers the user direction into making sure you are financially in accord to the law. #### Cons What I like least about the software is the exporting IOC information can get tricky sometimes depending on how it will be opened by the receiving device. #### Reasons for choosing QuickBooks Solopreneur It has the most functions in it that completely cover my needs #### Reasons for switching to QuickBooks Solopreneur Zoho just was not working for me. It is a little less detailed in expense reports and categories to expense, just not as many features as this --- ### Strong learning curve but very useful - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Robyn R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Mental Health Care - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Very positive but I needed help working the book keeping consistently. I was getting conflicts where it double counted things. I now have a book keeper who helps me. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros In general it’s very effective and does everything I need. (Book keeping, 1099s, invoices, recurring payments, mileage tracking, etc) #### Cons It has a really strong learning curve and the platform rolls out too many updates in layout and structure. --- ### Easy to Use and Set-Up - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chris K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall I give it an 8/10 rating but it is easy enough to use that I cannot see myself changing to a different software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros QuickBooks connects directly to my business account making it accurate and easy to use. I can create invoices in real time and email those to buyers and buyer agents. Customers can pay me directly through the electronic invoice. I’m about to track vehicle mileage with in-app tracking as well as create specific trips for my Home Inspection business. My business accountant has direct access to assist with categorizing expenses. I’m able to create reports and track expenses easily. The reporting process is educational and easy to follow for a small business. I feel secure using QuickBooks. #### Cons I’m not a fan of having some of the pre-set expense categories. When i use my business bank card the software guesses the expense category and I have to go back in and change them. --- ### Pretty Soild - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Alia G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. pretty solid software work really well for me #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros easy to navigate and become familiar with #### Cons a little expensive for me but worth it in m opinion --- ### My Experience with QuickBooks - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Angela W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. The navigation isn't really straightforward. The navigation tools should be better displayed. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros I don't have any pros for this software. My issue could simply be the need for more training on how to use this software. I've only been using this software for 3-4 months. #### Cons I don't like this software so much. It isn't so user friendly (for me). --- ### A business life saver - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Dj T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Graphic Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I started using QuickBooks Self-Employed because it was offered for free if I used TurboTax to file my taxes. It was a great deal, and it kicked my accounting up to a new level. I have been using it ever since, and have been, for the most part, very pleased with it. My clients seem to appreciate many features about it as well. When Intuit began some restructuring and informed us that we would no longer receive Self-Employed for free, I did think about switching. I am a very small business, and while the expense can be written off, I wasn't sure that I was ready to add another monthly expense to my business. However the ease of importing business accounting info into TurboTax each year was too compelling for me to stop using QuickBooks, so I stayed on. It has been a great help to my business over the years, even with that hiccup of having to begin paying for it after using it for just the cost of filing my taxes through TurboTax for nearly three years. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I am a creative person. While I am intelligent and understand the basics of accounting, it is not where my strengths lie. I appreciate that QuickBooks Self-Employed makes things like invoicing and tracking expenses so easy. The fact that it will dump all of the pertinent information into TurboTax come tax time is icing on the cake. It makes managing the finances side of my business so much easier, giving me more time to create for my clients. Reporting is easy, which really came in handy when I bought a house and needed to provide the bank with records of my income and expenses to show I could afford the house. I also really like the fact that I can keep track of personal income and expenses alongside my business accounts. It is really easy to use, and if I ever need help with something I am not familiar with, I have options with their tech support (which has been really helpful when I've called) or providing limited access to an actual accountant. While it's not perfect (nothing is), it has been a great help to me in running my small business. #### Cons While there's nothing glaring that stands out to me, I do wish I could create custom categories for expenses. There are times when I'm not sure how to classify something, as it doesn't fit into the provided categories. I know for some people, that could make the accounting really messy (too many categories could be problematic), but there are a couple of categories for which I make regular purchases, and it would be nice to have the option to make a new category. One other thing I find odd is that sometimes the "rules" for transactions don't apply to new transaction even though the name and amount are exactly the same. I'm sure there is a reason for that, but I can't imagine what it would be. It's a little frustrating to recreate rules that had been working for some time. There is also another small issue that when I am presented with just unclassified transactions, it disappears as soon as I select "personal" or "business" not also allowing me to assign the category. So I have to return to the full transaction list, find the transaction again and then assign the category. Perhaps some people only need to mark with a transaction is business or personal, but for me, I would like to be able to finish classifying the transaction on the same screen. --- ### This program is an absolute nightmare - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Brooks R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Truly hate it #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros There is nothing to like about INCONSISTENT software that can delay/hurt your business at any random moment. #### Cons The software is barely supported. Talking to a live technical agent is virtually impossible. Some minor glitches are constant and go on unfixed, but the major glitches come without warning and can literally bankrupt a small business, costing thousands of dollars in hassle. One glitch last year would deduct the GST amount owing from ONLY the customer's end of the invoice. It's not hard to imagine how quickly that damage adds up. This year I cannot send receipts. All receipts show up in the form of an invoice, an obvious disaster. Today, I can't even send invoices. They simply aren't getting to the clients. So today I'm left having to reach out to every client, troubleshooting. My business needs me to operate so that is an entire day's revenue lost. These are only a few examples, I could write a book on why to avoid this software. All I can do is hope a day will come when I have the time to transfer every single piece of customer data manually into different, more reliable software, because that's literally the only option this piece of trash software has once your already in. --- ### Has made tax returns so much easier - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Amanda K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospitality - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: April 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall I’m pleased with the progress and support received #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros After 2 years of last minute panic in January to get all expenses and income pulled together from a million sources, this tool has made things so much easier with everything being tracked real-time from accounts (banks, cards and paypal) and I add receipts as I go along where I can so all I have to do after year end is some categorisation and reconciliation / gap filling work #### Cons I have 2 businesses and am unable to list them separately but within the same account at present. As I use the same bank account and credit cards for both accounts I would like to be able to easily tag expenses to each business as I believe you can do with Xero --- ### Needs a lot of improvement and better customer service - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Ishtiaq R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros It helps me do billing, accounting, and sending invoices to clients. #### Cons The website times out before you can save an invoice. This happened many times and I lost hours of work. There is no way to change it! My invoices have many items and it takes me time to go through my notes and my calendar to compile it. If the designers of the software did billing, they would actually know that. Please add a feature to not get timed out. Also their customer service is not available on weekends. Like many self employed I do my billing on weekends and I cannot get any help. However their homepage has customer service available for new customers 24/7. It seems new business is more important that paying customers. #### Reasons for choosing QuickBooks Solopreneur I chose it to help with billing but frankly I have lost a lot of time being timed out of work. I am very disappointed. #### Vendor response Hi there, Ishtiaq. Thank you for leaving us a review. We'd love to lend a hand to help the time out issues you're experiencing. If you haven't already try signing into your Self Employed app. Then, tap the top-left corner and swipe down. Tap "Touch ID and Passcode". Assuming the TouchID is toggled on, there'll be a "Require" setting. Tap on it to adjust this to a longer timeframe to cut down on sign-outs. Hope this helps! -Kristina, The QuickBooks Team Replied December 2021 --- ### Not as Effective as Desktop - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Rebecca P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Cosmetics - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. While I love the mileage tracking and the lonks to banks, it is really frustrating when i spend 20 minutes categorizing mileage as personal or business, only to discover that thw changes have not been saved #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Love the mileage tracking and that it links to my bank and credit card accounts #### Cons Difficult to categorize entries and correct reports. Categories are not customizable. If the app does not connect to the internet, changes made do not save. --- ### Continual issues - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Steph B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Sports - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Terrible. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Ease of setting up, including adding new customers, searchability (reasonably CRM-like) #### Cons Everything else. Only 50% of customers could see how to open invoices easily, maybe 20% of those didn't get an openable version at all and I had to give them my bank details. Appalling error rate with importing bank transactions - missing transactions, some duplicated. Many were given a ridiculous categorisation such as an incoming payment from an existing client categorised as a business expense with a negative value. Usually failed to tie up scanned receipts/invoices with the bank feed meaning huge numbers of transactions had to be edited. Customer service is unwieldy, hard to get to from within the online or app software, community based, and usually told "we'll suggest it to our team" and you see that over the years loads of people have made the same suggestion to no avail. Or you get "that would be a really bad idea" despite the fact their competitors do it. Mileage tracker is terrible - sometimes it turns itself off completely, other days it records some parts of journeys, sometimes clocking off when you're driving, other times clocking off while you're on an appointment. P&L and tax reports categorise quite a few categories as non-deductible so you have to recalculate. I'm sure there's more but it's too painful to recall. #### Reasons for choosing QuickBooks Solopreneur Cost, ease of use for sole traders --- ### Quick Books Self Employed - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall it’s a good product and does what we need. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros This product makes it easy to keep up with our business. We like the reports we are able to pull, not just a P and L. It lets us get as specific as we can. We like the classes and tags. #### Cons It’s not super intuitive. There was more of a learning curve than what we planned on. --- ### Use with caution - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: David J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros The software is easy to use when it functions correctly. #### Cons Login issues are the worst. The issues happens when you need the software the most. I have had this issue twice and it alway happens during tax time or when you are trying to correct your bookkeeping for accuracy. The issue is an internal problem and you have to submit a case and get a case number from support. For startups, small, veteran, minority, or disadvantage businesses intuit is the worst company to do business with they have so many bad reviews, they are bias in their business and they will contribute to the failure of your business. #### Reasons for switching to QuickBooks Solopreneur Its easier for accounting, bookkeeping, and taxes due to the structure of the business. --- ### Inflexible transaction categories & connected bank naming - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Ian C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Leisure, Travel & Tourism - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Not too bad generally for what I need it for. Very mixed experiences with support. Seems to have deteriorated of late, with agents repeating pat answers and fobbing off with published advice that I'd already researched prior to contacting support. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros Ease of use and bank account connectivity. #### Cons Inability to edit connected bank account names in QBSE to differentiate multiple accounts held with the same bank. Inflexibility in setting up transaction categories. Understand it's based on those required for tax returns, but I prefer to do my tax returns in spreadsheets with data imported from QBSE. #### Reasons for choosing QuickBooks Solopreneur Ease of use. Simplicity of set up and meeting my basic needs. --- ### Highly recommend for all small business owners - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Colleen F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Great. Very happy I am using it. QB SE is a trusted and affordable resource for keeping my business and tax items in check. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love the different features QB Self-Employed has: Auto-mileage tracking, invoicing, tax checklist, it tells you when an invoice has been viewed and payed, transaction tracking, business reports, and it syncs with TurboTax #### Cons I wish the invoicing feature was more sophisticated. For example, I wish I could send estimates instead of an "invoice" at times, but I have another program I use outside of QB that can do that for me. It's probably in a more expensive QB service but I wish it were available for Self-Employed. #### Reasons for choosing QuickBooks Solopreneur Price, features, user-friendly --- ### Simplifies my Accounting - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Signe J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Writing and Editing - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I highly recommend QBSE to self-employed individuals who are looking for an affordable, intuitive, user-friendly way to do their accounting. I've been using it for 5+ years and it hasn't let me down yet. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Quickbooks Self-Employed is very easy to use. It has simplified my accounting significantly. I can track receipts, import transactions from my bank account, pay my federal quarterly taxes, create invoices, export all of my info to Turbo Tax, and do so many other key business functions from within the software. #### Cons While I love QBSE, I do wish there was an easy way to calculate and pay quarterly state estimated taxes. That would make the experience even better. --- ### QuickBooks is pretty much everything I need! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.
