What do you like best about QuickBooks Online?

1.QuickBooks Online lets you view reports and access your data from anywhere, including on your phone.

2. It integrates with third-party apps like Shopify, PayPal, and more.

3. You can connect your bank accounts so transactions are automatically downloaded.

4. It allows you to assign user roles and set custom permissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Online?

1. QuickBooks Online often requires changing the account type and detail type for all Line of Credit accounts. Using the 'Line of Credit' detail type typically causes an error, so I must select 'Credit Card' or 'Other Liabilities/Loan Payable' instead.

2. Subscription fees have been increasing more frequently, making it costlier over time.

3. Report customization is limited, some reports that are available in the desktop version can't be generated in QuickBooks Online for clients.

4. QuickBooks Online needs secure authentication to ensure added protection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is QuickBooks Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. I used to convert PDF statements to Excel in order to upload transactions manually. Now, with the bank connection feature and date range selection, transactions are automatically downloaded for me.

2. Using QuickBooks Online allows me to access data while traveling, so I no longer have to wait until I’m home to view it on my desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about QuickBooks Online?

Inexpensive, user friendly, useful for clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Online?

I do accounting work through Quickbooks for multiple clients, and to be honest, it has been great for the last couple of years. Recently, there was an attempt by a customer to pay using bill pay (Customer using a Credit Card to Pay their invoice). The customers payment did not end up coming through, but I was charged a $486 fee. I was disappointed but understood the fee. 4 months later, I just tried billing another customer for $2,575, the customers card was debited, but I never rec'd the money. It turns out, Quickbooks kept the money. They gave no reasoning and showed it as paid through their software, but it never hit my clients bank account. When I called to ask, they told me they were keeping the money due to the account having fraud in the past (Even thought they understood it was not fraud on our end). The communication has been terrible, this topic goes back 4 months and Quickbooks has not told me not to use bill pay. I can not believe this! I have been on the phone for over 8 hours (90% of the time on hold) talking with mostly friendly representatives, but sadly I have not gotten anywhere. Twice now, I have been on hold for over an hour and the call gets disconnected. I just got an email saying "your bill pay account has been closed" after multiple conversations of representatives trying to figure it out. I will never use Bill Pay again and I suggest you do not either. Feel free to reach out separately with any questions. This has truly been a nightmare for both my client and I.

What problems is QuickBooks Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

A customer paid my client $2,575 for completing a job. Quickbooks is holding the money. I need to find a good point of contact at QBO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about QuickBooks Online?

It’s super convenient that everything is online and cloud-based. I can log in from any device, and everything is synced and secure. I also really like the automatic bank feed—it saves so much time and reduces the chances of manual entry errors. The software also grows with you—once you're confident, you can explore more advanced features like payroll or budgeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Online?

The pricing is a little high for someone just starting out or working independently. Some features I wanted to try were only available on higher plans, which was disappointing. Also, the initial learning curve can be a bit confusing if you're not familiar with accounting terms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is QuickBooks Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

QuickBooks Online helped me move away from scattered spreadsheets and manually tracking finances. It’s keeping all my transactions, invoices, and reports organized in one place. This not only saves time but also makes me feel more professional and prepared when sharing financial details with others or reviewing them for myself. It’s definitely boosted my confidence and taught me real-world finance skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about QuickBooks Online?

Is intuitive, there is an advanced search that helps you fin any transaction, you can reclassify transactions in bulk. It is easy to use and offers several integrations with banks, external systems and apps. You can also manage different currencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Online?

If you are a retailer, Inventory management is not particularly good. It gets difficult when you have many warehouses. Also, when you have a subscription in the US, it won't have the option of taxes in other countries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is QuickBooks Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

For Accounting and basic reporting is more than useful. It's easy to have your books up to date when your bank is connected and everything is easy to record. Also, having the option to upload transactions, bills or journal entries in bulk with an app, is much more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is QuickBooks Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping books is what it was made for and does a really good job with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
