QuickBooks Online Reviews & Product Details

What I like best about QuickBooks Online is how easy it makes managing my company's finances in one place. I can track income and expenses, reconcile bank accounts, generate profit and loss statements and balance sheets, manage accounts receivable and payable, and prepare financial reports. It saves time, improves accuracy, and helps me monitor the company's financial performance in real time. I also appreciate that I can access the system from anywhere and easily share financial information with my accountant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about QuickBooks Online is that certain features can be hard to navigate, especially when I’m dealing with more complex accounting tasks like correcting transactions or reconciling accounts. I’ve also found that some reports take extra customization before they show the exact information I need. On top of that, the subscription costs can add up as the business grows. Overall, it’s a useful accounting tool, but smoother navigation, more flexible reporting options, and stronger customer support would make the experience even better.

What I like best about QuickBooks Online is its user-friendly interface and the convenience it offers for managing day-to-day accounting tasks. Bank reconciliations, transaction tracking, and financial reporting are easier to manage in one place. The automation features save time, reduce manual effort, and help keep financial records organized and up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about QuickBooks Online is that some features can be confusing to navigate, especially when handling complex accounting tasks. Occasional syncing issues with bank transactions and limited flexibility in certain reports can also be frustrating. Additionally, resolving technical issues can sometimes take time, and the subscription cost may feel high for smaller businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its highly accessible because its a website. The interface is fine, though it changes constantly which isn't always great. The reliability has been mediocre. The real problem is customer service has steadily degraded over the years. In the beginning I could call somebody when things went wrong. But over the years that has gotten really bad. The banks integrations are mostly working, the pricing is not good. I do not like the AI features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing model is predatory. Once they have your data in their system they can simply increase the price at any time. They are doing that now by 40% for Quickbooks online plus. They know that customers won't like it but they also know that the cost of migrating all the data is higher than the price increase. Once they have you locked in they will abuse that position of trust. This is a company that treats you like prey, not a customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

QB online is superior to desktop, because it is easy to work from anywhere. As long you know your login info, you don't have to be stuck on a desktop in an office somewhere. This has allowed to continue working during things like car repairs and just waiting in my car for events/meetings to start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A couple of the downsides are that they no longer work with Melio because they have their own payment processing. I have three vendors that each month cannot be paid via QB online and I have to login to Melio separetley and process the payments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The functionality is there for managing the books for small local businesses, alongside an accounting firm for year-ends, etc. When I need more functionality, I utilize the Zapier integration or the extensive API service. QBO also has a pretty broad range of third parties it integrates with natively. I end up saving time and making fewer mistakes by automating my basic tasks. Pricing has been pretty good for our usage, it comes with all we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The web version of QBO is the most reliable. I find the iOS/iPad versions to be buggy and slow, particularly, the bank transactions. Loading is slow, and working with the categorizing functionality is incomplete. While the interface is limited due to the size of some devices, more options could be available via menus.

It’s easy to use, and uploading documents is fast. I also like the integration with other products, and the pricing feels fair. The technical support is great, and I’m able to stay in contact with other users who can share tips. The AI summary feature is helpful as well. Also, it can quickly refine/edit your search for transactions.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first, it felt like a cumbersome product. However, after some trial and error (and with a bit of assistance), it became easier to use. That said, some of the summaries I tried to pull were still troublesome.

It tends to automatically categorize charges, which can add extra time when reconciling the books. For example, a cash app transfer may be treated as an ATM withdrawal, or a wire transfer may be listed as a DRAW. We’re still working through the mislabeling of these transactions.

It may also offer to match transactions; however, if it’s an Intuit payment, the breakdown disappears. The client I was using it for didn’t have QuickBooks Payroll, so it was supposed to be an easy search to find where the funds came from (one or many sources). Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find a solution.

Going forward, I’m not going to keep syncing the statements to QB multiple times if a transaction is missing. In the future, I also won’t match transactions, since it shows as a manual transaction and ends up disrupting the flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I am able to access it anywhere so I am not limited in dealing with the company books when I am traveling. It performs well and I rarely encounter problems - other than the integration with BigTime software - that is terrible! The interface has improved alot over the last year. It stil takes me time to find things but it is becoming more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downside is the integration with BigTime Software, though that is more likely a limitation of BigTime - not QBO. The other thing is that we struggle with Northern Living Allowance on our T4's- for some reason, we don't have clear control to automatically or manually enter that data.

I find QuickBooks Online quite user-friendly, which really helps my clients, especially small business owners, to have their books ready every day. I like its simplicity, and the reports are very helpful as they offer insights for different analyses and decision-making. The reports also allow me to compare between periods, which is valuable. The declassification and reclassification tools, as well as the payroll tools, are quite valuable too. The initial setup was quite easy, which is why I love QuickBooks Online.

The AI integration in QuickBooks Online seems to be lacking a lot lately. Also, it sometimes slows down the process, which can be frustrating. The payroll tool is particularly concerning. It's not good at all, mainly because of its desync issues, which I find to be really bad. If they could make the payroll tool post journal entries rather than direct deposits and allow some flexibility to edit them, that would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can access the software from anywhere as long as I have an internet connection. It doesn’t need to be installed or loaded on a server or on an individual computer, which makes it convenient to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is a bit different than what I’ve worked with for over 20 years, so it’s made adjusting to it and finding certain functions a little difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Accessibility from mobile devices, easy excel sheet upload for bulk adding bills, and the very user-friendly UI are my favorite features. Its the easiest one to train inexperienced staff on by far.

It also securely integrates with our bank feeds for real-time information, our sales channels (Shopify, Amazon, eBay) to import transactions, and as of recently even our shipping provider, so that all bills and bill payments are automatically synced. Saves me SO much time!

in 5 years I don't recall any performance problems or outages, and it runs smoothly even on my dated office PC.

The deal we got from our sales rep was great (received 50% off the first 3 years), he helped with all the setup and the silliest of questions we had from our move as we had switched to QuickBooks Online from QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise, and was available for questions even many months later, when we were looking to find a new Warehouse Management Software with integration into QBO.

They constantly seem to add and update new features - recently introducing AI generated messages for invoices and reminders, making things a little more customized for our clients, rather than the generic "Hello, here's your invoice." blurb.

Excited to see what the future holds! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of our company files is very large because we imported 4+ years of detailed data from QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise. As a result, I’m unable to open that company file from my mobile device, which prevents me from using features like importing receipts by taking a picture of them or accessing the file on the go.

It would be great if there were a lite version that still allowed access to the basic functions of the company file, even when the full file is too large to open on mobile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
