Business Accounting Made Simple

PROS

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.

CONS

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

This program is an absolute nightmare

Truly hate it

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.

Perfect For Self Employed Accounting!

Overall I definitely would recommend this to anyone who is self employed or has a simple one person business. It's definitely geared toward beginners so don't expect all the bells and whistles that you'd get with the more advanced versions of Quickbooks, but it's perfect to track your finances as a self employed person. There's a good reason Intuit is the leader in this space!

PROS

I love the interface, design and layout of QuickBooks Self-Employed! I use the online version and they've really designed it exactly for people who are self employed like myself. It makes tax time super easy and makes it easy to budget and keep track of expenses. You can also make invoices cleanly and quickly. Overall I love that it's geared for self employed individuals, as the name suggests!

CONS

While I do love how simple it is, it's sometimes even a little too basic or user friendly. I can't fault it too much for this since that's also what make it so great, but don't expect this to be as in depth as regular Qiuckbooks as it really is just geared for self employed folks, and I would even as it's for beginners.

Reasons for switching to QuickBooks Self-Employed

I made the switch because I was looking for something simpler, and this is it! They also had a 50% off the first 3 months, which I have to say enticed me to try it!
