Virtual accountant

I have a very good experience it was easy to use and understand and I enjoyed having my very own personal accountant in my pocket when ever I needed one

Pros

I loved using quick books because it offers so many services that help me lessen administration on the financial side mostly because accounting was never my strong point. I enjoyed using quickbooks because it did not require alot of training or previous experience to use it, it is simple and easy. I would do alot of my invoices on excel and loved that I could export all of my invoicing onto quickbooks with ease. I love that it made my financial nightmare of always having to call clients to remind them of payment and quickbooks made it easy with their payment reminder services. I enjoyed using quickbooks because it was designed for small businesses like mine and provides so many essential services needed to ensure your accounting is kept up to date with very little effort. It was an easy program to intergrate with my existing programs and gives various different options including an online version which I found very helpful when I was on the move and could use it on my phone,they also offer a cloud service which allows me to be able to access my information from where ever I am and the remote function helps me remote in to help me fix any problems my employees might of had and quickbooks customer service was amazing they were always available to help whether it was on site help or online.

Cons

There is nothing that I could say I like the least but I was sad when quick books decided to stop the point of sale service it was a great help for printing receipts. And I would love for quick books to bring back the point of sale service

QuickBooks for Small Business

QB Desktop helped me be able to manage my small business accounting in house. I have run payroll, accepted payments, and invoiced clients easily with the software.

Pros

I love the functionality and how user friendly QuickBooks is for someone that doesn’t have an accounting background.

Cons

It is hard to figure out the best way for multiple users to use the same file without conflict.

Quickbooks Desktop is best for a single user environment

Not good, not bad. The system worked average. Better experience with QBO.

Pros

Used to be a good system. However, I believe it will be end of life soon. Inuit pushing users to their Online solution.

Cons

Crashed quite a bit when deployed with many users.

QB is nice but too expensive.

I used it from 2016 thru 2022. It was a great program. I have sinced switched to odoo.com as the price of QB keeps going up to where it is no longer justifiable.

Pros

QuickBooks Desktop is easy to use and customize. Much more so than the online version. Also there is no internet connection needed or monthly subscription fees.

Cons

The price goes up substantially every year, and there are threats of product discountenance, even though the online replacement does not offer half of what the desktop version does, and it constantly goes down and has bugs and nowhere near the level of customizability.

Great software

Overall, I really enjoy working with QuickBooks Desktop.

Pros

I've been using QuickBooks Desktop for years. There are several features that I still prefer over the QBO version.

Cons

The search feature in QBD is a bit lacking. I think the QBO search feature is much better.

Reasons for Switching to QuickBooks Desktop
