QuickBooks Desktop Reviews for Indian Users
Virtual accountant
Comments: I have a very good experience it was easy to use and understand and I enjoyed having my very own personal accountant in my pocket when ever I needed one
Pros:
I loved using quick books because it offers so many services that help me lessen administration on the financial side mostly because accounting was never my strong point. I enjoyed using quickbooks because it did not require alot of training or previous experience to use it, it is simple and easy. I would do alot of my invoices on excel and loved that I could export all of my invoicing onto quickbooks with ease. I love that it made my financial nightmare of always having to call clients to remind them of payment and quickbooks made it easy with their payment reminder services. I enjoyed using quickbooks because it was designed for small businesses like mine and provides so many essential services needed to ensure your accounting is kept up to date with very little effort. It was an easy program to intergrate with my existing programs and gives various different options including an online version which I found very helpful when I was on the move and could use it on my phone,they also offer a cloud service which allows me to be able to access my information from where ever I am and the remote function helps me remote in to help me fix any problems my employees might of had and quickbooks customer service was amazing they were always available to help whether it was on site help or online.
Cons:
There is nothing that I could say I like the least but I was sad when quick books decided to stop the point of sale service it was a great help for printing receipts. And I would love for quick books to bring back the point of sale service
most popular accounting software / international applicability
Comments: All good but for medium sized businesses. If you are growing fast some capabilities could be missing.
Pros:
It is affordable for medium sized businesses and do not need high infrastructure costs. It has high lerning curve, so it is easy to hire people who knows it. QB desktop can be set even with help of in-house team. Priced moderately and do not need specific trainings. Has connectivity to the most popular payrol solution providers (Bamboo etc.) and banks.
Cons:
Not very efficient inventory tool, just accounting so it is needed is you operate large item volume to get additional inventory management solution. Good to have build in payrol solution to reduce license costs. It is needed industry specific packages f.e. construction to get field operations and efficient estimate creation tools. Sometimes is unstable during import of inventory data and needs more offering for RPA and dashboard creation. No IFRS specific reports.
Would Choose a Different Program
Comments: QuickBooks Desktop is great for simple things like A/R and A/P. If I could start over, I would not use any of the inventory options. The price continues to go up with less benefits of the program each year. When issues are reported among users, it takes years to resolve them. Customer support is not very helpful most of the time on the phone. There are very few resources for learning more about how the program works if you are unfamiliar.
Pros:
QuickBooks Desktop is easy to use and relatively intuitive one you learn the ropes.
Cons:
The inventory system for QuickBooks is horrendous and difficult to wrap your head around. The system crashes or "aborts" often and there are numerous glitches.
QuickBooks Pro desktop version

Review Mias

Pros:
Quick and easy to use, it contains all the tools for business financing.
Cons:
None that I can think off only some time on WEB version we have slow, but that is due to our network connection.
