I did not get a chance to utilize the reports or the reporting capabilities in QuickBooks. The tool and ERP system are good. I have been in technical support for the last 10 years. I rate QuickBooks 8 out of 10.

QuickBooks is very capable, allowing me to perform most of my bookkeeping tasks efficiently. Most features are available in QuickBooks, and I don't think more customization is required from my point of view. I prefer the interface of QuickBooks compared to my previous solution. I use Google or sometimes YouTube if I encounter challenges with QuickBooks. The only aspect that could be improved is the pricing. I rate QuickBooks 10 out of 10.

We find QuickBooks' budget generation feature valuable but haven't really utilized that as much as we'd want to. It's something that we plan on utilizing next year. It helps save money and time, though I can't speak to specific amounts as I would be really guessing. We use the on-premise version of QuickBooks. We have utilized the third-party application synchronization. An example of a third party that QuickBooks integrates well with is Avalara AvaTax. On a scale of 1-10, I rate QuickBooks a 7.

My advice to people who are considering QuickBooks is to think about the future. If you have a company that is going to grow and you plan on adding different entities and different product lines, I would recommend choosing another software platform. Even if that means spending more, it will be worth it in the long run. QuickBooks is good for small companies that don't have multi-entity requirements. It is good for single-entity companies because the scalability of it is really poor. Overall, I would rate QuickBooks a six out of ten. It's a lower tier. It is designed for smaller, sophisticated places.
For new people coming into QuickBooks, it should work on their support and have people in different time zones. Users escalate issues to the international team and ensure someone can resolve the issue quickly. It is a great application for accounting, especially for point of sale and not looking to scale beyond 30 stores. I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

My advice to others is to consult a consultant, accountant, or somebody that's familiar with the software. There's will be less likelihood of duplications within QuickBooks Desktop. However, the online version has more automation. If you're going to use QuickBooks Desktop, you kind of have to go in with the mentality that you're not looking for automation. I rate QuickBooks Desktop a seven out of ten.
QuickBooks Desktop is very robust and easy to use. It offers top-notch invoicing software capability, allowing users to create professional invoices for their customers. The Premier edition offers users a variety of industry-specific invoice templates including professional, product, and service invoice templates.

This solution allows us to outline exactly what data, financial statements, inventory, job costing/budgeting, AP/AR, wage and hour, tax planning/forecasting, or information needed to allow owners and management to make educated business decisions regarding efficient and effective management of business operations, cash management, marketing/sales force management, asset purchases, etc.
I would first evaluate if QuickBooks Desktop or QuickBooks Online would be the best option for your company. If you decide on QuickBooks Desktop, I would look to the online community or a ProAdvisor for help on setting up the best configuration for your company right from the beginning. Always start using a new product like this from the beginning of a fiscal year, not midyear, even if that means entering all the old data.
