This was the first payroll app I've ever used and I didn't have any trouble picking it up. It also made it easy to get my employees setup and paid. > > **Cons**: On occasion we do run into a problem where the taxes are not being taken out. This has only happened once but quickbooks support team was fast and extremely helpful, which helped us get the issue resolved. > > QuickBooks Payroll is easy to use and helps me manage our payroll with no trouble. Our company is small, so for the time being, we still use paper for the checks and pay stubs. The great thing is that we are in the process of switching everything to being digital. Overall, this software is great. The software is secure, and the set up is straightforward. I can clearly see how much money is going out weekly. ----- ### "Time Saved" — 5.0/5 > **cyndy** | *19 May 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Create and send professional invoices Accept online payments (credit card, ACH, etc.) Set up automatic reminders and recurring invoices > > **Cons**: The way that everything costs extra and really starts to add up. For example: features like Payroll, Time Tracking, and Inventory Management are not included in base plans. Annual price increases — Intuit often raises subscription prices, especially for QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop. Multiple users = higher cost — Want to add more than one team member? That’s often an extra fee. Support access is tiered — Priority customer support is only included in higher-priced plans. > > QuickBooks has been a reliable and comprehensive tool for managing business finances. From invoicing and tracking expenses to preparing for tax time, it streamlines many of the tasks that used to take hours. While the pricing can increase with add-ons, the time saved and overall functionality make it a worthwhile investment for growing businesses ----- ### "good for small business" — 5.0/5 > **FREDDIE** | *27 March 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: very easy manage at your finger tips good for taxes and basic bookkeeping and Tracks income, expenses, and profit automatically > > **Cons**: Reports aren’t always simple to read and Hard to track true profit per vehicle or deal Custom reports require setup ----- ### "QuickBooks Payroll" — 3.0/5 > **Linda M.** | *27 July 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is easy to access for my clients and direct deposit works well. I like that it is integrated with the accounting sotware so no double entry. > > **Cons**: The online software does not allow you to make changes as needed. As a CPA, I am well versed in payroll and understand the implications of any changes I make. I should be allowed to make changes as needed, the sameway I can in QuickBooks Desktop. > > The support for QuickBooks Payroll is terrible. It takes forever to get anything corrected. I end up finding a work around or fix returns myself when needed to avoid support as much as possible. ----- ### "Quickbooks Payroll the best for Small,Medium Company" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 February 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is friendly user accounting software. I like this very much. Very easy to learn even no background in Accounting. > > **Cons**: You can edit even the reports are already done. You should put all data and give more time. I dont want use quickbooks if my computer is MAC. > > QuickBooks Payroll is the first software that I used. Although I dont have a formal training but I became expert using this software. I trained some of my co worker for this software. ----- Page: 1 / 40\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/174981/quickbooks?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/174981/quickbooks) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
