QuickBooks Desktop

Pros: Great program for a small toid sized company. Software was easy to set up, and we were up and running within an hour.

Cons: The initial.price.od.the software was a bit expensive, and the licencing fees were pricey. Overall not tooich not to like about the software.

Pros: I love the ease of running reports, such as monthly sales tax reports and annual profit and loss reports.

Cons: I wish that there were a way to mass delete items from company inventory, instead of removing items one at a time.

Pros: The thing I liked most about Quickbooks Desktop was how easy to use it was and how beginner friendly it was. The system makes it easy to complete year end reporting and day to day activities.

Cons: The only issue i had with Quickbooks desktop is the lack of customisation that was available. I would like for further report customisation.

Pros: What I liked most about QuickBooks Desktop is its reliability and depth of accounting features. It handles everything from invoicing and expense tracking to payroll and reporting in a very structured and organized way. I also appreciate that it works well even without constant internet access, and the reporting tools are detailed and easy to customize, which makes financial management much more efficient.

Cons: What I liked least about QuickBooks Desktop is that it can feel a bit less modern compared to newer cloud-based systems. Some processes require a few extra steps, which can slow things down slightly, and collaboration features are more limited without additional setup. That said, it still performs reliably overall..

Pros: I like the simplicity and consistency. I have been using QuickBooks since 1999 when I worked at an accounting firm. When we opened our own company in 2002, we went with QuickBooks to manage the books and run payroll.

Cons: When a problem happens, it is very hard to get real support. I can solve most of the problems (thankfully) because working at an accounting firm and now in IT I have the experience. But if I have to call support, I have to be prepared to receive very little "real" help. I just hope to get lucky and fix it while they are helping.

Pros: When it comes to the construction industry, Quickbooks has all the functionality you need to track and report seperate projects. Compared to the Online version, Desktop has far superior report options with ways to generate the exact data you need.

Cons: ITS CRAZY EXPENSIVE! Each year the "subscription" price goes up like $400 and at over $1700 per year for 2026, it feels like they don't care at all for the small businesses who have used them for twenty years.

Pros: Quickbooks desktop is very user friendly and access to a variety of reports both standard reports and custom.

Cons: As much as I like the option for quick changes that also gives someone not so knowledgeable about financials to make changes easily.

Pros: What I like most about Quickbooks desktop is that it’s easy to use for invoicing and I get value for my money.

Cons: What I like least about Quickbooks desktop is that it can be a hassle to navigate through certain things.

Pros: Easy to use. After changing from a different software, I was easily able to use quickbook without any issues. I didn’t need support or any instruction. It was really easy to just start using it.

Cons: That its not accessible in any other device. It is only accessible from the desktop you installed it on

Pros: The Desktop version has a multitude of features. Small to medium size businesses can be their own bookkeeper.

Cons: The desktop version allows you to track expenses, reports and invoicing along with payment collection.

Pros: I enjoy using quickbooks because it gives me all the flexibility with the ease of use that I need. It's been a great addition to our business!

Cons: It can take a bit to get the hang of but once you do it is a breeze, and customer support is great if you ever need them.

Pros: Invoicing is very easy, wide variety of reports to choose from for payroll and other financial information.

Cons: I really liked the ease of payroll but over the years the price had increased so much we just couldn't afford it anymore. It wasn't worth the money when we have less than 10 employees.

Pros: The desktop version of QB's is easy to use. It has many features for reporting from all your accounts and allows for many variations of accounts to be made so that you have very specific reporting and records.

Cons: The fact that it is now obsolete with little resources for help. You can not get updates for it anymore so it makes it harder to use some of the functions.

Pros: financial reporting is seamless. all of your data is housed in one place and it allows for you to adjust things as needed

Cons: sometimes there are glitches and the data doesn't port in correctly.You acn rectify this easily by manually inputting.

Pros: I own a small business and I run a rural animal rescue we use QuickBooks for both. In both cases it’s extremely easy to track sales and payments and produce financial statements. I find it very user-friendly. I’m easy to find what I need quickly.

Cons: When printing out reports for a specific timeframe, it will default back to the current timeframe rather than holding it.

Pros: What I like about QuickBooks desktop is their new software. It is very organized and reliable to work on.

Cons: The least I like about QuickBooks is their loading. Takes a very long time to search other areas I search.

Pros: QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise Edition is user friendly and I am able to customize report fields, fonts, titles, etc.

Cons: difficult to get customer support, they don't give you an easy to locate customer support phone number.

Pros: I love this software. It is the easiest to use for a new business and it is self-explanatory. I recommend this

Cons: I feel the only cons for this software is if your company is expanding, I would look into using Quickbooks online

Pros: I like how thorough the program is and how it allows for multiple users to be added on a Single platform

Cons: I least like how the main dashboard has too many widgets and numbers and features. A cleaner menu would be better

Pros: What I liked best about QuickBooks Desktop was the ease of use and the stability of the program for the cost.

Cons: What I liked least about QuickBooks Desktop was the limitations on online access and the limitations on customizations.

Pros: Quickbooks desktop is a very effective accounting tool with better performance in comparison to the online edition.

Cons: The biggest issue i have with quickbooks is the outdated appearance of the systems. Additionally the functionalities are second to other systems.

Pros: I’ve been using QuickBooks Desktop for nearly 20 years and have had an excellent experience. It’s intuitive and very easy to use. It gives me complete control over my financial records. The reporting features are especially good — I can easily generate detailed P&L statements, track my expenses, and manage invoices all in one place. The software handles everything from day-to-day bookkeeping to year-end preparation smoothly. It is also the preferred software that my CPA uses. Excellent value for the cost and customer support has been excellent, whether by e-mail or phone. Whenever someone asks me for a recommendation, this is the software!

Cons: The only con to QuickBooks Desktop (as with most software) is the continual new releases and updates.
