"QBO for small businesses"
4.5/5
Describe the project or task QuickBooks Live Bookkeeping helped with:

I work in M&A transactions diligence so a lot of times we need to conduct financial diligence in the target's books. Previously, I've been pretty involved in small cap deals and a lot of small companies use QBO. Thus, I need to pull the reports from QBo Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about QuickBooks Live Bookkeeping?

Really convient, straight forward. I'd have imagined it would be a breeze for small companies to use QBO to keep their book. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task QuickBooks Live Bookkeeping helped with:

Hired to do the $500 cleanup and then monthly service. In 4 months, they never did the cleanup. In fact, they posted a $50,000 single line entry to the AR (without an explanation) and then just told us it was done. Had I not looked at it myself, I could have gotten Flagged and Audited. No legit professional bookkeeper would engage in such a practice. I think the hire 1099 contractors from overseas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about QuickBooks Live Bookkeeping?

They had a good story that was believable, at least until they got my money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Worst experience from any vendor/service in 10 years of business , but did receive full refund"
0/5
Describe the project or task QuickBooks Live Bookkeeping helped with:

Organize relatively routine transactions by continuing a process set up by a previous expert. Data validation primarily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about QuickBooks Live Bookkeeping?

That it was easy to cancel. If it would auto-cancel when you sign up that would be an improved feature. However, Intuit would then do two things: 1. ask you to take a survey about the auto-cancel feature, and 2. tell you that auto-cancel is a new premium feature requiring an upgrade.

The audit log makes it easier to locate work done by Live Bookkeeping so that future, competent, professionals will be able to track anything they touched and revert it back to a correct place. Of course these professionals will have to be paid by you. The audit log isn't great to access and sometimes can lead to crashes. When inspecting many transactions the issue becomes more of a hindrance.

Another benefit is that they have no ability to make actual payments on your behalf. That's outside the scope of Live Bookkeeping. This means that when they break things it does not impact any real world funds, but only records of those funds.

After they break things they will offer a refund. This means that at least you did not pay to be harmed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about QuickBooks Live Bookkeeping?

Nothing at all. Their sales pitch was great I guess. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Live Bookkeeping?

Everything. Communication is awful. There is no way to directly message your bookkeeper, and they do not notify you when they have a message. You have to log in daily and sift through a bunch of links to check if they messaged you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
