"I am a Certified Public who uses QuickBooks Desktop Pro for my clients"
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

I like the interface, speed, and functionality of the program. It's a very fast moving program, that is extremely user friendly and easy to use. I can easily make adjustments to my clients books and never have problems running.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

Connecting to the bank account of my clients is a very shaky and clunky process. It is extremely difficult to do. This is why people are heading to QuickBooks Online. I have never successfully linked a Bank Account Real Time to QuickBooks Desktop, there is always a problem.

What problems is QuickBooks Desktop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to offer book keeping to clients that do not require QuickBooks Online and do not want to pay for the 15 dollar a month for the online program. This makes it very cost effective because the software is a oe time purchase.

"Economical CPA for your small business"
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

Handles all the necessary tasks in one package, no loading a module for this or a module for that.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

Very difficult to correct some types of errors, as part time CPAs we are not perfect and often need to go back to fix something we messed up with. It is not easy to do this, and in some cases takes several hours just to figure out how to do it.

What problems is QuickBooks Desktop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

properly tracking depreciation is very difficult, when using this with turbo tax, I initially started a five year depreciation at the wrong part of the year, I learned how to correctly do this after I messed up the first one. No real problems resulted, just extra time to correct the mistake.

Great software offering everything needed to maintain financial records and run reports for businesses of any size and personal accounting as well.

The software differences between QuickBooks Online and Desktop Pro occasionally make it difficult for clients to upgrade to online, or for our staff to switch between working on different files.

What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

Quickbooks is software with many benefits. For us - production company, it has many good features due to what we can monitor our and vendors steps and communicate better.

It seems hard to migrate from our previous system to this. It is time and recourse consuming. We had to fill in many gaps in information our selves. As well it seems rather slow in laptops. Stationary computers has no or very little problems with this

its easy to connect QB with e-commerce charts and there are many solutions that helps to transfer information easily.

"Great for business operations"
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

The ability to customize and save reports.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

Sometimes have to sift through a lot of information to figure out how to get what you're looking for. No way to effectively track Paid Holiday Time with correct L&I hours (have to manually edit hours).

What problems is QuickBooks Desktop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the process of creating more formal systems within our operations. QuickBooks helps to pull up information in a moment's time that would otherwise take ages to find.

"Quickbooks "
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

QuickBooks is simple to use and easy to learn.

The customer support is something that they could work on. There have been times where I have called support and they were unable to help me, so I ended up having to figure it out on my own.

"Competent Accounting Package"
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

Very user friends data entry. Downloading and reconciliation of transactions from banks and credit card companies is far better than larger ERP packages, which require expensive modules to do that.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

It can be challenging to enter complicated transactions (like wash transactions, etc.). Not a great way to lock down "closed" transactions or maintain an audit trail of who modified what transaction & when.

What problems is QuickBooks Desktop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

General bookkeeping and accounting needs.

"The go-to product for keeping the books."
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

I like how user friendly QuickBooks is for the small-business owner. There are a lot of wizards and walk-throughs that help you set things up, and consider things that you might have forgotten about without it. The transactions are fool proof, and make the correct double entries without too much effort or thought on the users part. The reports are easy to create and customize. When it's time to do my monthly reports I am able to easily create and modify them to suit my needs. It works well for consolidating information between entities.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

It seems to take a lot of processing power from the computer, so if you have a slower computer, or any kind of slowness issues with your computer, QuickBooks can stop working, and periodically needs to be forcefully shut down and restarted.

What problems is QuickBooks Desktop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Every business needs a good set of books, and QuickBooks helps accomplish this basic of all business needs. It allows for the versatility to do as much or as little as you may need. Anything from balancing a check book to billing, to financial reporting, to processing your payroll.

"Good Basic Product"
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

Easy to use once you understand basic concepts.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

You need to understand book keeping, so it is not intuitive and may be hard for a small business owner who does not have book keeping knowledge to figure out.

What problems is QuickBooks Desktop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

It syncs nicely with our project mgmt software

"Great for handling small company"
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

User friendly for a non-accountant manager. A good solution for payroll for a small company looking to handle payroll processing in-house

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

Not as flexible for more complicated double entry accounting. Making journal entries and other more specific accounting adjustments is a bit cumbersome.

What problems is QuickBooks Desktop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before our size made outsourcing our payroll more effective, quickbooks made in house payroll processing quick and easy. It even allowed us to go paperless with electronic payroll vouchers for all employees enrolled in direct deposit. Now I use it for a small flowthrough company that needs to have minimal accounting records. It gives me a quick place to maintain the records for that company's one checking account, easily issue occasional checks and annual statements.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

Learning curve is a little higher than I think it should be. Some of the menu/function organization is not as intuitive as I would have liked.

"Good Product to do most everything"
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

I like that Quickbooks has most everything I need and that if you are a little creative you can use some of the other features to make it work in ways you might have to use another product to do. Using customer notes is one way I use it to handle a few things that I might otherwise use a CRM for.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

My only real dislike is that after a couple of years the software tends to get slower and slower. I know this is because of the size of the data growing, but it would be nice to archive past years so it doesn't slow down over time.

What problems is QuickBooks Desktop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

It handles my monthly billing and my daily finance records. QB handles these task very well and I have not used another product that does so as efficiently.

"Powerful but Slow/Inconvenient for Multiple Users"
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

I like that everything is organized intuitively. Reporting is powerful.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

I don't like that it is so difficult to have multiple users. We find ourselves asking the others to switch from single user mode to multi user mode every day. It is inefficient how many items require single user mode. I also don't like that you can't re-categorize multiple transactions at the same time.

What problems is QuickBooks Desktop Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Accounting and reporting. This software integrates with so many other software and gives us what we need for taxes purposes and overall accounting needs.
