QuickBooks Desktop Pro Reviews & Product Details

Great software offering everything needed to maintain financial records and run reports for businesses of any size and personal accounting as well.

The software differences between QuickBooks Online and Desktop Pro occasionally make it difficult for clients to upgrade to online, or for our staff to switch between working on different files.

Easy to run reports and financial statements, invoicing and accounts receivable capabilities, accounts payable, and payroll are all straightforward to use.

Well established brand that everyone is using.

That I don't know how to use it's full features.

Check writing, budgeting, reports.

Quickbooks is software with many benefits. For us - production company, it has many good features due to what we can monitor our and vendors steps and communicate better.

It seems hard to migrate from our previous system to this. It is time and recourse consuming. We had to fill in many gaps in information our selves. As well it seems rather slow in laptops. Stationary computers has no or very little problems with this

its easy to connect QB with e-commerce charts and there are many solutions that helps to transfer information easily.

The ability to customize and save reports.

Sometimes have to sift through a lot of information to figure out how to get what you're looking for. No way to effectively track Paid Holiday Time with correct L&I hours (have to manually edit hours).

In the process of creating more formal systems within our operations. QuickBooks helps to pull up information in a moment's time that would otherwise take ages to find.

Great Product! Use this software for a non-profit to track all our income and expenses as well as for payroll. It's very user friendly and great online support. Highly recommend this product.

This product is pretty simple and easy to use. There's nothing that I truly dislike.

We are a non-profit organization and use QuickBooks Pro for billing, payroll, tracking donations, tracking income and expenses. Very user friendly and we love using reports to report our financials to the Board of Directors.

QuickBooks is simple to use and easy to learn.

The customer support is something that they could work on. There have been times where I have called support and they were unable to help me, so I ended up having to figure it out on my own.

This program has allowed us to better track our expenses and revenues.

Very user friends data entry. Downloading and reconciliation of transactions from banks and credit card companies is far better than larger ERP packages, which require expensive modules to do that.

It can be challenging to enter complicated transactions (like wash transactions, etc.). Not a great way to lock down "closed" transactions or maintain an audit trail of who modified what transaction & when.

General bookkeeping and accounting needs.

I like how user friendly QuickBooks is for the small-business owner. There are a lot of wizards and walk-throughs that help you set things up, and consider things that you might have forgotten about without it. The transactions are fool proof, and make the correct double entries without too much effort or thought on the users part. The reports are easy to create and customize. When it's time to do my monthly reports I am able to easily create and modify them to suit my needs. It works well for consolidating information between entities.

It seems to take a lot of processing power from the computer, so if you have a slower computer, or any kind of slowness issues with your computer, QuickBooks can stop working, and periodically needs to be forcefully shut down and restarted.

Every business needs a good set of books, and QuickBooks helps accomplish this basic of all business needs. It allows for the versatility to do as much or as little as you may need. Anything from balancing a check book to billing, to financial reporting, to processing your payroll.

Easy to use once you understand basic concepts.

You need to understand book keeping, so it is not intuitive and may be hard for a small business owner who does not have book keeping knowledge to figure out.

It syncs nicely with our project mgmt software

User friendly for a non-accountant manager. A good solution for payroll for a small company looking to handle payroll processing in-house

Not as flexible for more complicated double entry accounting. Making journal entries and other more specific accounting adjustments is a bit cumbersome.

Before our size made outsourcing our payroll more effective, quickbooks made in house payroll processing quick and easy. It even allowed us to go paperless with electronic payroll vouchers for all employees enrolled in direct deposit. Now I use it for a small flowthrough company that needs to have minimal accounting records. It gives me a quick place to maintain the records for that company's one checking account, easily issue occasional checks and annual statements.

Complete package that can handle all accounting needs including inventory, sales, ecommerce, etc.

Learning curve is a little higher than I think it should be. Some of the menu/function organization is not as intuitive as I would have liked.

Used to maintain all accounting functions including inventory management and ecommerce revenue recognition.

I like that Quickbooks has most everything I need and that if you are a little creative you can use some of the other features to make it work in ways you might have to use another product to do. Using customer notes is one way I use it to handle a few things that I might otherwise use a CRM for.

My only real dislike is that after a couple of years the software tends to get slower and slower. I know this is because of the size of the data growing, but it would be nice to archive past years so it doesn't slow down over time.

It handles my monthly billing and my daily finance records. QB handles these task very well and I have not used another product that does so as efficiently.

Very easy to use for a one person company

I use it for A/R, A/P and G/L. it seems a little expensive for limited features.

Invoicing my customers and management my payments

I like that everything is organized intuitively. Reporting is powerful.

I don't like that it is so difficult to have multiple users. We find ourselves asking the others to switch from single user mode to multi user mode every day. It is inefficient how many items require single user mode. I also don't like that you can't re-categorize multiple transactions at the same time.

Accounting and reporting. This software integrates with so many other software and gives us what we need for taxes purposes and overall accounting needs.

Reports creation is easy and fast, flexible

Learning curve is long takes a while to learn it
