Quickbooks Online

About Quickbooks Online

QuickBooks Online is a cloud-based accounting solution that helps small businesses manage their accounting, income, expenses, payroll, and more. No additional software is required as all accounts are viewed via the online login portal, with custom feeds and charts, custom invoice creation, 'Pay Now' buttons, and mobile websites, and all with auto-synchronization. The native mobile apps for Android and iOS facilitate on-the-go sales receipt capture, expense tracking, cash flow management, account balance tracking, time tracking, transaction review, purchase order management, client communications, and more.

QuickBooks Online automatically syncs a complete business finance profile to one single dashboard where multiple users can view in-depth reports and accounts of company finances. The platform creates trade, profit, and loss sheets as well as billing and invoice solutions that are all mobile compatible and print-friendly. Users can create their own custom reports and feeds from within the dashboard so businesses only see what matters the most to them.

By navigating through the QuickBooks Online dashboard users can track payments, sales history, and invoice details, add users, and edit permissions. QuickBooks Online is completely integrated with QuickBooks Online Payroll, as well as third-party apps such as PayPal, Shopify, Salesforce, Square POS, and more.

    Overall quickbooks is a good tool for small business to track expenses, invoice customers and track the invoices received. You can even email and customize invoices right from the software.

    Pros

    Quicksbooks is a great software for the small busineess. It allows for invoicing customers in an easy way. If you are out of the limit for the invoices, you can make a small purchase and make it online and can access it from anywhere and everywhere from the tablet, pc or phone. It is a real easy way for tracking the invoices and marking them paid with accounts receivable. It also allows for digital time card where you can record the employees time of in and out. Great software and easy to learn.

    Cons

    The things you want to consider improving the software is it should give easy ways for tracking the accounts paid and invoices paid by the customer. Everything else looks pretty decent.

    Quick Books Online Essential To Business Operations

    Pros

    The online version of QB allows us to collaborate between departments and gives us the freedom to work out of the office as needed. It also allows our accountant to review and advise easily. Once QB is set up and staff trained, the data entry and report generating is not difficult to operate.

    Cons

    Set up and learning to use QB requires someone familiar with the software to assist in the deployment. The average manager would otherwise have a steep learning curve.

    The software itself was easy to use and navigate.

    Pros

    The expenses and sales receipts entries. Both are imperative to running a successful business, and the ease of imputing the information and generating reports is phenomenal. Other programs have a tendency to be a little more difficult to navigate for some users, however, this specific aspect of Quickbooks is extremely user friendly. The fact that it is also available online is a game changer.

    Cons

    I wish there was another way to enter in time for a Client, instead of having to do it all at once. There are other programs that we also utilize that allow our office to enter time day by day, versus Client by Client, which saves time in the long run. I also wish there was a way to utilize the payroll feature when working with a third-party. One of our partners are unable to access this feature during tax time because the payroll provider is a third-party and not by Quickbooks, and therefore we are unable to use the reports generated for that specific item.
