QuickBooks Online Reviews & Product Details

We use QBO for multiple businesses and one specifically where we fully take advantage of the Estimate, Invoice, and PO functions. This all works seamlessly and helps us to stay organized. Best that all those features are in one single service allowing us to work quickly. Being able to quickly view the status of the business from a web browser or phone app, makes things a lot less stressful. Having an accountant keep all the information can sometimes be tough depending on how much you need to interact with your data (like categorizing expenses, or managing estimates, invoices, and PO's).

I dislike the cost and the fact that you must pay a subscription plan for each individual business. This can be tough for smaller businesses just starting out. When compared to the desktop version, it is a one-time fee and the desktop version can host multiple businesses. To try to manage these costs, we have moved some of our QBO instances onto the desktop version run by our accountant. QBO cloud features are not all necessary for standard accounting. So if you need simple accounting, I would stick to the desktop version, or better yet, try to use the desktop version and let your accountant manage it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In Quickbooks online one of the best part is it's integration to different software through API, and its own receipts section when we can upload transitions receipts and QuickBooks automatically accounted receipts as Bills/Expenses.

Inventory management is also quite better in QuickBooks online, For example Tracking for Inventory is easy through sales and COGS Books,

Reconciliation : Monthly Bank statement is very easy and quick process in QuickBooks online related to other software like Xero, Sage Etc.

Reporting Sections: Reporting Section is very Broad and Summaries in QuickBooks Online and it provide all types of reports, Like Individual legers, Multicurrency ledgers, Summary accounts, Cash flow as summary/Details, AR Ageing Details/Summary and AP Ageing Details/Summary etc.

Invoice emailing feature : One of the best thing we can send directly invoices and ask for payments to customers from QuickBooks online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have given 8 as recombination because some demerits as below:

1) Multi Currency Balance sheet, - QuickBooks online only shows , Closing balance on its base currency or Multi currency amounts not shown, also it is very hard to track realize currency gains/losses.

2) Slow works: Even i have a 100mbps internet connection i feel that QuickBooks online works very slow or page loads take time in comparison to other Accounting software's like Xero, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The business snapshot and the instant reports that can be generated are probably the best feature. You're able to tell at a glance how your business is doing. Sort of like taking its pulse. The reminders are helpful too, especially with payroll, and monthly and quarterly tax reporting. It also syncs with your online state and federal tax payment portal and you can pay your quarterly and monthly taxes with a click. You can run any number of a plethora of reports available ranging from P&Ls, Balance sheets, payroll costs, accounts payable/receivable, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a lot of things can be edited. Specific line items in invoices (eg. SKU can not be edited to UPC, etc). Not very beginner friendly - took me over a year to truly master it. The chat feature for support doesn't work half the time, and it takes up a LOT of ram - so much so, that you have to close down the window about 20 min into your session just to clear the cashe or it will freeze up. If you want to add payroll, automated payroll, live bookkeeping, etc - That's also extra. Generally it could be slightly more user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The number of report options and customization of those reports to fit the needs of our business. I need to create reports for a variety of entities every month. Being able to customize and streamline that process is critical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It drives me crazy that I cannot filter for future invoices on a client's profile. You can only filter for past dates. We frequently schedule future invoices for a customer's total multi-year contract. I also would love it if I could right click on an invoice from this page and open in a new window. I hate having to constantly use the back button to navigate back after opening an invoice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The dashboard is amazing and gives a visualised experience. Also the interface to uplaod multiple transaction is really helpful specially for a large data entry. The ease of Accounting and Data upload facility is also good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software lacs shortcuts which increases time of the user and certain function which can run with combination of keys. It is slightly slow as compare to other accounting software like SAP or Oracle Netsuite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I liked best about the software is that it's easy to use. You don't need to be an accountant in order to know how to use QBO. I was able to record journal entries and find financial statements fairly quickly. I'm able to work fast because if I needed to replicate a journal entry for a monthly use, I am able copy the journal entry from a prior period, all I need to do is to date the dates. I also like how you can double click an account and there is a breakdown of all the numbers you need to know. Reconciling the bank has never been easier, you just record your journals and check off the boxes and as soon as the difference becomes zero you are good to rec the bank or account.

What I dislike most about QBO is when I was trying to look for a certain journal entry/transaction from the general ledger. It was very hard because when it's a big file and you're going line by line sometimes you lose your spot. QBO does not highlight any of its transactions and sometimes, I would have to start over from the top which was a little annoying. Also, I noticed when I'm at a certain spot on the general ledger and I click on a transaction and want to go back to the previous page, it jumps back up all the way to the top and I lose my spot again. Another problem with QBO is you cannot open two things at the same time. I have tried and I always lose one of them off the screen. I have tried to login into QBO, one on Google Chrome and another on Internet Explorer in order to compare two financial statements side by side, but it would log me out. It would be great if that could be fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Support! Especially if you have the Advanced product or whatever it is they are calling it these days.. It's well worth it even if you just were to use it for one call a year, its that good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The granularity of the authorization scheme leaves a lot to be desired. I can't allow different features to be used only by certain people the way I'd like; only the way QuickBooks allows for which is not nearly what I need. So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.

The ease of understanding who did what when (i.e. audibility) could use some help as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Quickbooks Online has a lot of functions and allows integration to other apps. Nice platform that integrates most accounting tasks all in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that you can't mark POs as "paid" or link credit card charges to the POs. Also, the options for changing the templates are pretty limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use portal that allows you to keep track of invoices, customers, and inventory all in one place. Love that you can send invoices and Purchase orders directly through the system for both ease and visibility. The reports function is also a great way to gather necessary data and export for use in excel for further analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The site can be “glitchy” at times, which can sometimes interrupt workflow and decrease efficiency. It also doesn’t have some more robust features of a true WMS, I.e. you can have “manufactured” items in the system with child parts and parent SKUs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy, simple and reliable. Does what you need, and a lot of effective integrations. The mobile application is great. I recommend it to many people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does not have all the reporting that others have. I also think from time to time the method for getting good graphs is limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that users can access our files from different locations...we are a small business that have people working in different states. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am one that lies to buy a program and just own it rather than pay monthly fees, but almost everything is that way now. I know our accountant complains about somethings when she send me reports, but for what i use it for it works great ;) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to reconcile the bank and credit cards as our simple requirements are not too simple for the Quick books interface as I feared Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was hard to use the other programs as the memory required must be big but the Alano Club have old computers with only 2 mg of memory, I believe. I am impressed by the customer support folks that were able and wiling to help me without additional charges. Thanks for the impetus to upgrade without huge pressure. In light of COVID, the Alano Club has had almost zero income for 3 months so I appreciated the ability to use an old version of the computer nevertheless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Straightforward interface, quick to load, cloud based available anywhere. This is really quite simple to setup and use with basic customization options and stock control features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lacking in many features and seriously short of customization options when it comes to generating paperwork. Examples include inability to use bundles when automatically creating invoices using the import option, no types of sales orders (where stock is allocated but invoice not generated yet), no type of inventory planning or forecasting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Low cost, and compatible with most other systems. A lot of accountants know how to use Quickbooks, and because it is so popular there are a lot of integrations possible. If you are a freelancer they have a reduced rate plan that handles most things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Accountant access is limited and restrictive. Not all accountants have qbo accounts. We had this issue when our external accountant was going to review our QBO files for tax purposes, I just created an accountant user for them, but they still couldn't access because they themselves didn't pay for an accountant license to Intuit. That's really not okay. We're paying, for our license, so should have the ability to work with accountant of our choice. For those collecting sales tax, I wish there was a way for QBO to offer a service to handle state submissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I can see the separation of where the money is being spent inside the business and pau outs for laborers and entrepreneurs. Month to month reoccurring solicitations for customers who pay an identical month to month. Simple following for installments got from customers. Simple to peruse month to month reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't that much distinction between the section level bundle and in this manner the in addition to the bundle, at that point ensuring bundle up includes huge amounts of highlights that a lot of independent companies don't really require. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quickbooks Online is one of those web-based accounting devices that, as a totally innovative planning, you initially keep the organization of costs, invoices and sales all in a very well structured place. Before I understood the importance of keeping expense documents in control of everyone in the department, I was using an Excel spreadsheet with a lot more work and delays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The application is really restricted in what can actually be done when trying to manage your accounts on the go. The synchronized access to my current account continues to be eventually disconnected and I also often need to reconnect them, which is frustrating and exhausting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

QBO is great from the portability and 24/7/anywhere access. It's also great that it doesn't have to be updated like the desktop version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On the accounting side, I don't feel like QBO is user-friendly. It will also have glitches for our clients, specifically around adding sales tax to invoices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great software to use to manage clients daily invoices and reconciliations. Able to help manage keep a client's daily tasks. We had a number of small businesses that picked us to handle their everyday tasks. Easy to use and lots of help if stuck on certain parts of the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing in particular, it is a very able software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is enriched with all powerful and latest smart tool in order facilitates you in running business smoothly. It has streamlined our business just by helping us in managing books, sending invoices, running payroll and managing expenses. The biggest benefit of Quickbooks online is that you can easily have grip on it without having particular accounting experience.

I am more than happy with all of its splendid features. It means a lot to me. It gives all the solutions to all whole accounting related issues. It provides sufficient customer support for satisfying users with it responsive capabilities. So far there is nothing to be like least about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
