What do you like best about QuickBooks Online Accountant?

I like you can get to the software thru any browser. Can still customize chart of accounts/reporting/invoicing thru web Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Online Accountant?

Removed the apps that were able to be used on a Mac and Windows. Did they get rid of the iOS and Android apps? It they did this is a huge negative and I would change my rating from an 8 to a 3.

Customization is still there but I dont think it is "as clean" as thru the apps.

Another benefit that is lost is the ability to potentially flip thru applications, as you are now flipping through tabs in the browser. But if you have five tabs open on the browser you need to flip thru them all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering QuickBooks Online Accountant:

my advice is be comfortable logging into Quickbooks is through a browser as they removed the dedicated apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

accounting, reporting, cash flow, balance sheet, income statement. What I am resolving is not having to buy the complete software, which requires updating, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about QuickBooks Online Accountant?

Easily switch between clients, the platform is extremely user-friendly, immediate customer service with remote capabilities, and very flexible to novice users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Online Accountant?

QuickBooks doesn't have the most powerful accounting options, if your books are complex with multiple layers like multiple companies, intercompany transactions, reporting, and automation of reversing entries. Do not recommend QuickBooks for payroll, as they have consistently screwed up paying our payroll taxes, which caused multiple issues with the state. A feature that is on the desktop version that was cut from the online version is the ability to upload journal entries. When requiring a high volume of data, this import feature can be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering QuickBooks Online Accountant:

If you have simple business needs, this is great for bookkeeping, accounting, and some FP&A. It can be a lot of manual work though, so be prepared for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Reporting is very clean and easy to set up memorized reports. The reconciliation function is a lifesaver for balance sheet accounts, in keeping the schedules tied to the ending balance at the end of the month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One would require a little bit of training to familiarize themselves with the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are sending invoices and statements to clients on a timely basis which has resulted in clients paying us on time. Sometimes a client requests an invoice or customer statement of account while you are on the go. All you have to do is to log in and send the documents required.

What do you like best about QuickBooks Online Accountant?

I like that Quickbooks Online is such a widely used and trusted platform I can add clients seamlessly, run my own firm's financials quickly and clearly, and also have options for how I manage client accounts such as wholesale or just added as a user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Online Accountant?

There are a number of banks that do not connect easily to the bank feed. There is also not a way to bulk add Payees as there is in bulk category reclassification which can be a tedious task that comes up relatively often for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are able to run our own business financials and reporting through the software and also manage all our client's books and financials from one platform, which is essential in our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about QuickBooks Online Accountant?

Everything is well structured and easy to find. Love the online backup feature for uploading supporting documents and receipts for all transactions. Integration with our banking is a useful feature as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Online Accountant?

Sometimes internet speeds may be a bit low and we need to rely on what we have. Would love to have an offline and a light desktop version of the app so we would be able to use less memory (using chrome for QB can make computers slow). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering QuickBooks Online Accountant:

QBO is a better choice for the long run. Make the switch early on so that once your business grows, you already have the complexities setup and ready to go. No need to stress about switching over and integration in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Managing everyday tasks, setting up payables, and entering transactions. QBO makes it easy to access transactions, and generate reports for our purposes. Love being able to keep everything up to date in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

QuickBooks Accountant has Intuit-ive user interface, and is easy to use by beginner accountants and veterans alike. You can do pretty much anything you hope you can do with QuickBooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Online Accountant?

There are small glitches, such as a transaction not appearing in an account register immediately upon saving, so you have to learn little fixes like re-sorting the columns to get the transaction to show up without having to refresh your web browser. In my experience, there's always a quick fix like that, but it can be a little annoying at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy the simplicity that comes with using quickbooks, they want you to be successful with their software and offer certifications and webinars that allow you to become more comfortable with their system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Online Accountant?

every time that I log in there is a window that pops up and asks if i need help or have questions... which would be fine if it came up when opening the program or gave you the option to not display the message again. but it comes up sometimes 3-4 times after opening the program. it also takes a while to load and so i cannot log in or access what i need to until the help centre message finally loads so that i can exit out, only for it to come back a moment later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have realized that it is easy for the client to use QB and so it makes our job easier. the steps are easy to follow to record what you need to and allows very little room for error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about QuickBooks Online Accountant?

I like using QuickBooks Online Accountant because it is characterized by the ability to allow users to carry out every accounting task using all its features from within hence it saves me a lot of time spent moving files from one software to another to create custom financial statements, notes, inserting attachments among other tasks.

My other favourite part about using QuickBooks Online Accountant is that it promotes order and create responsibilities among team members for accountability. Using this feature QuickBooks Online Accountant allows me to allocate my team members with specific client books and primary contacts for any query with their books which is very convenient.

I also like QuickBooks because of how it lessens my workload in terms of in-built reports that include general ledger and trial balance among others. I have found this feature to be very vital in my workflow since it gives me a step ahead in report writing and this saves a lot of time. More so I like that it allows me to set up email reports that can be sent to me according to the scheduled period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Online Accountant?

My only dislike in using this product is how it lacks an easier way to clean up outdated reports which I have found to be an exhausting and time-consuming process.

More so the user interface is not that easy to get used to, it is a bit complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My problem before using this product involved moving from one product to another to create notes, attachments among other tasks but since I got QuickBooks Online Accountant it has benefitted in my workflow by allowing me to carry out every task from within and also using its integration with a lot of other products.
