"It's changed so much I'm not sure it's the best for small businesses"

What do you like best about QuickBooks Online?

What I like best about QuickBooks Online is that it’s cloud-based, which means I can log in from any computer, anywhere. That flexibility is incredibly convenient. When we first made the switch, it felt familiar enough to the desktop version that the transition was smooth and easy to get behind. It used to be a great fit for our needs.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Online?

One of the biggest frustrations with QuickBooks Online is the constant updates and forced changes to the interface—it feels like they’re trying to become an all-in-one platform but haven’t quite nailed the execution. The system frequently lags, and I’ve noticed that my login slows down significantly compared to my employees, likely because I’m in it more often. It seems like there’s a time limit or performance drop tied to user activity. Just when you get used to one update, another rolls out, making it hard to keep up. And unfortunately, the customer service hasn’t been helpful enough to make up for these issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Love and hate relationship"
3/5
What do you like best about QuickBooks Online?

Essential for our accounting needs. Easily scalable and for any business or team size. Easy enough to learn depending on level of involvement. Does a good job at managing books and has a lot of means of using it mobile or on desktop. It gets used constantly, and does help with our tax filing at year end with proper maintenance. You can figure it out easily enough and you can grow with it and learn along the way, but jumping into it headlong without experience with it is a hurdle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Online?

Customer service is a pain and it tends to be limited in how well it can actually help. We should be getting priority support with our plan, but I see no difference there and will still sit on hold, get transfered around, and just to get that far it is a convoluted task having to get past AI attendants and whatnot. Finally has an integration with our CRM, but does not integrate expenses and estimates as we need. Like everything, it keeps books well, but whatever else it tries to do always juist falls short.

The billable user limit. It is so rigid.

I purchased subscription for my client. I am clearly a non-billable user as I am accountant role, but the user limit still count me as one.
