How QuickBooks helped me
Comments: Our financial management has been considerably simplified by using QuickBooks. It improves payroll, invoicing, and spending tracking, which saves time and lowers errors. Tax season is less stressful because to the thorough financial reports and well-organized tax preparation, which resulted in valuable insights. We are now more efficient and able to concentrate more on providing top-notch cleaning services .
Pros:
It was very user friendly since I don't have the strongest background in accounting, and it managed my finances effectively.
Cons:
It's not the most affordable software out there
Best Software For Business
Comments: My overall experience has been a positive one. It has everything I need to run a small business. It gives a sense of relief. I Do
Pros:
I really oved using QuickBooks Online. I started a small business selling my sewn goods and QuickBooks helped me with so much. It made it easy to keep an eye on the money coming in, how much I was spending on supplies. It also helped me plan for saving for taxes as well at the end of the year. I really enjoyed how it tracked inventory and made it easy to make estimates and invoices.
Cons:
Sometimes the online version would have connection issues and I would have trouble login into my account.
Alternatives Considered: FreshBooks
Reasons for Switching to QuickBooks Online: I loved the pricing and all the features it had to offer.
Customer service has gone severely downhill with Quickbooks
Comments: Collaboration and customer service are nonexistent with this company. Nobody is on the same page. I talked to one person who told me to cancel my merchant account, which I'd been using for 4+ years, because they couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. After over an hour on the phone this representative had me cancel my account and informed me that he would call me in 3 business days, once the cancelation could process, one Monday at 1:00pm and set up a new merchant account for me. Three days later a different Quickbooks rep called me to schedule an appointment to set up my merchant account. I informed her I already had an appointment with the gentleman I spoke with a few days ago, he knows what's going on with everything. She said she didn't know what I was referring to and so I set up an appointment for a couple of days later. Finally, I got a call to set up my merchant account so I can start invoicing like I have been for the last few years and accepting card payment through an emailed link. I am informed that because I am setting up a new account, I no longer get the same rates/fees as I had before because those were grandfathered in with my old account. So now, instead of my $15.00 cap on AHC transactions that I had had and been using for over 3 years, had been replaced with a 1% fee on all AHC transactions. I am a General Contractor and most of the invoices people pay are $10,000.00 or more which means now instead of paying $15.00 on that transaction I pay $100.00. The lady who set up my new merchant account, of course, has no idea why the original person I spoke with had me cancel the account in the first place but that there was nothing she could do to help me and nobody she could transfer me to would be able to help figure out why the person had me cancel my merchant account or help me reinstate my original fee structure. It's very suspicious how this all happened, and I will be looking for alternative Accounting software.
Pros:
Quickbooks has sufficed as a basic, constantly changing, discombobulated bookkeeper/invoicing platform.
Cons:
Nobody that can be gotten a hold of to resolve issues know what is going on with the company they work for or have the knowledge or power to do anything about it.
A true gamechanger for our small business
Comments: Absolute time save and so easy to use. Our company used to operate Sage instead but when our admin lady left it fell to my partner and I (managers and also engineers on the shopfloor) to deal with the day to day so we decided to switch to Quickbooks. It has saved us so much time, streamlined all out processes and made everything so much more straight forward that we didn't even need to even replace the admin lady. Also value for money vs what we were pating for with Sage is just night and day. Finally, the vast array of softwares which integrate with Quickbooks is brilliant. The main one we use is Pleo for our petty cash and it downloads all transactions seemlessly into Quickbooks. No hassle!
Pros:
So easy to manage almost everry part of our business. Makes VAT returns a doddle and all banking transactions are imported automatically
Cons:
Payroll said of things isn't the best for us so we've stuck with Moneysoft for now
Alternatives Considered: Xero
Reasons for Choosing QuickBooks Online: Our admin lady was leaving and we needed to make life a lot easier and streamline everything. Also cost cutting
Switched From: Sage Accounting
Reasons for Switching to QuickBooks Online: Our accountant used Quickbooks and said she'd rather we did too
QBO, Why? Because I had to.
Comments: QuickBooks online is easy to use. The auto shorting of my transactions to their vendors makes bookkeeping painless. There are a few times that I wish the system would not have done something for me but was easy to correct.
Pros:
Easy to access my books any where. If I am traveling, I can pull up information on my phone or my laptop. No need to have that .QBO file. I just need internet.
Cons:
Although I love the flexibility I have with QBO. I did not like that I really had no other option. I could not update my desktop version without paying for Enterprise(which I do not need). The only thing I could do was move to the cloud. I would have liked to choose for myself.
Alternatives Considered: Sage Accounting
Reasons for Choosing QuickBooks Online: I was told that I had no option but to switch.
Switched From: QuickBooks Desktop
Reasons for Switching to QuickBooks Online: It was the closest to the system that I was already comfortable with.
