It is extremely useful that this software integrates banking, car/fuel usage in the internal structure. The fact that income/expense entires can be custom-automated makes for an easy and intuitive workflow. Also, that filing of taxes become super easy as the software guides one through an intuitive process and does the filing at the end! This software is a money-saver and give true peace of mind.

At this time there are no features that the developers have not thought of!

It has been good however the phone app seems to have technical issues more often recently and that along with cheaper products now on the market with more functionality it is making me consider a change. It has served me very well for two years but the business is expanding and needs more capabilities to automate our processes.

Accessible pricing and a lot of features including bolt ons for HR management. Easy to use for invoicing clients. Multiple staff and accountant access with restriction options. Connects to banking and Paypal easily for reconciliation.

Although there are a lot of reports and custom report creating features there are some reports missing that would be handy to businesses including average value of sale reports. It can be done via data export to excel but it's something I would like to be able to see on a software's dashboard along with sales performance. Also there is a limit of three custom data boxes on invoices.

Overall, the Self-Employed version of QuickBooks has been easy to set up and use. In year's past, the same software was much cheaper than it is now. I think they more than doubled the price per month for the same versions. Their mileage tracker is very limited. Because of this limitation, I pay for MileIQ to track and categorize mileage and trips. Then, I export the data from MileIQ and import into QuickBooks.

I like that I can manage both my personal and self-employed business accounting within a single account.

The mobile app seems kind of buggy. It's very slow to register taps (3 seconds).

Overall I’m pleased with the progress and support received

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

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

I use this to balance accounts and to enter deposits and withrawls from these accounts that require balancing each month, quarter, and year.

Ease of use, the ability to balance a multitude of accounts within one system. It is easier to use than other available programs and easier to understand entered data.

There are not many cons, at times it does freeze and you have to wait to reenter the information.

I'm very happy with the software and it almost suits all of my needs bar the lack of quotations.

QBSE is very easy to setup and use. It links directly to any bank accounts that you use so it's always pulling through transactions for you to check and allocate as necessary. You can customise the invoices easily and use your own branding. It quickly and easily calculates your taxes and estimates your year end liability. I use the app on my android phone as well as the desktop version and both are very good. It's great to be able to raise invoices whilst with a client.

The one thing that bothers me is that you can't raise quotations in the software without upgrading the package to a tier that's overkill for what I need.

Overall, my experience was decent. In a small business or as an independent contractor, this app is incredibly helpful. Great for sorting tax information as well as things like sending invoices. And its keeps them all for you to have when necessary.

I really enjoy the fact that there isn't much more than you need. Some apps or websites offer more incentives if you're willing to pay more but you may use only one of those incentives. Quickbooks Self-Employed offers everything you need for a great price and doesn't include paying for things you'll never use.

For me, it took time learning how to use it. There was no clear direction and not everything was prioritized as it should've been. There could've been better placement of the options presented and better instructions on how to find them.

Overall, not worth the cost to me. Especially with those who are self-employed or have small businesses.

This does what it is supposed to do and only that which is track money. It also can track mileage automatically and gives you an overview of the distance you have traveled each day.

It is basic, it lacks functionality that should be considered 'basic' such as being able to categorize expenses and income. You can also not utilize many needed integrations for other software which basically forces double entry. It is expensive considering there are other free alternatives that have way more features and integrations

My overall experience was satisfactory. It's a well-known name, which may have played a part in my choosing the software. But, as I've stated above, I switched to a more robust and more affordable software. You can view my comparison of QB: SE and my current software, and why I switched, here:https://redconradswellnessalternatives.com/2021/04/05/tools-for-the-self-employed-independent-contractor-small-business-owner-gig-worker/

It has many features needed to stay on top things.

I found it to be a little pricey, especially compared to the software I currently use. The free version of my current software alone blows QB: SE out of the water, paid version is split into tiers that is both more affordable and more robust then QB.

I had this app for a year and a half and still returned to doing my own taxes as I found it to be inaccurate and very hard to edit.

That it tracked your traveling and helped you gain a goo idea of how much you may have spent on vehicle outgoings.

Submitting tax returns was incredibly hard and I feel the calculations were incorrect.

See above. It’s designed only to frustrate you into upgrading. But I’m going to a spreadsheet rather than pay them anymore. The Quickbooks I used 25 years ago was excellent.

Terrible software. Nothing good to say.

1. Once you have entered a billing item you can’t change the price or remove an item from your catalog. 2. You can not reorder the rows in your invoice. 3. You can not insert a new item in the middle of your invoice. 4. You can not include images of receipts for reimbursement. 5. You can not give your invoice a job title. I enter a title as the first billing item so my client has some way of knowing what job but that appears nowhere in my invoice list so I can see which job is which. 6. There’s more but to think any self employed professional could use this is absurd. 7. Customer support doesn’t welcome feedback, they just say you’ll have to pay more money than what I pay now. I am not on a free plan, this costs real money.

Great. Very happy I am using it. QB SE is a trusted and affordable resource for keeping my business and tax items in check.

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

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.

I continue to receive an error message that my free trial has expired despite my purchase of an annual subscription in August. I have an email receipt, but Intuit appears uninterested in fixing my problem. I have been passed from one inept rep to the next and asked the same questions without resolution. I would LOVE a refund at this point, but Intuit points me to Apple since I purchased the product with Apple Pay.

I initially thought the functionality would be handy, however, I have changed my mind. I am unable to create an invoice due to a glitch in Intuit’s billing.

I have spent over 20 hours in the last two weeks trying to access the product I paid for 6 months ago. Customer Service is inept at best and I have yet to receive the promised callback from anyone I have spoken with.

I love they have so many options and ways of showing users to add transactions.

Extremely easy to use. As all of intuit's products, Self-Employed guides you through the uses. Self-Employed is so accurate and easy to use.

I don't have a con about this one. It's saved me so much on my taxes. I'm blown away on how intuitiveness.

Love it. Super easy to use and has been a huge help to managing my business.

Easy to use. Budget-friendly. I can track my mileage and transactions with ease. Invoicing is convenient and looks great.

I wish it could integrate with the quickbooks for small businesses.

I’ve stopped using it and switch to another brand of accounting software and service, and I will be sticking with the new service.

Well I was using QuickBooks self-employed, I did like that it would automatically add transactions from my business debit card, my PayPal account, and my Etsy account.

Well I was using QuickBooks self-employed, I did like that it would automatically add transactions from my business debit card, my PayPal account, and my Etsy account. I did not like that QuickBooks self-employed was very generalized and I was not able to tweak it or customize it to fit my business and my specific expenses and day-to-day transactions.

Simple and easy to use, Quickbooks Self employed is a tool every freelancer and side-gig earner needs.

The automatic mileage tracking (other apps offer this but the QB implementation is better than any I've tried). Receipt photos makes record keeping simple. Invoicing is easy too.

When you are just starting, the monthly fee is an added motivation to make sales! You gotta make some money to pay that monthly fee!

Very straightforward setup. Handles invoicing, time keeping and spending itself.

Connects directly to TurboTax if you are a pass-through LLC. Makes sending and re-sending invoices very easy. A better spending tracker than my bank has!

The mobile app is very expensive - $15 per month just to have it on your phone.
