Because it's in the cloud it's accessible from anywhere. It integrates with loads of other software. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it's difficult to navigate to the accounts section. Unintuitive interface at times which is ironic given that it's made by intuit. > > Solid platform. Can sometimes require a bit of a learning curve but overall solid and comprehensive feature offerings ----- ### "QuickBooks Online Review" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *14 November 2022* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very popular, easy to use and constantly updating to meet client needs and expectations. > > **Cons**: I basically love everything about this software. > > My overall experience with QBA has been rewarding and satisfying. So far the software has lived up to my expectations. ----- ### "Used to be good, now it's gone downhill and pricey" — 2.0/5 > **David** | *19 October 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: We use Quickbooks for a lot of our accounting clients, it was always what we recommended in the past. The biggest selling feature was its ease of use. We could train clients quickly to perform their basic accounting functions. The accountant edition does have some useful tools. All of our clients are on one dashboard and easy to get to. Managing team members and their client permissions is easy. We no longer use it but billing was simple and straightforward. The software is free for accounting partners as long as you have clients with subscriptions. > > **Cons**: Intuit is one of the least customer friendly companies I have dealt with. There are constant price increases while they add features that no one asked for or will use. Recently, they completely redesigned their UI and now things that used to take one click to get to take several, if you can even find it. We no longer recommend this product to clients and have moved several over to a competitor when they asked due to the new design. > > Overall, Quickbooks Accountant is just something we are stuck with at this point as long as we have clients that use it. We have switched our own internal accounting to a new software and have stopped recommending it to clients. ----- ### "Strong Remote Collaboration for Small Business Accounting" — 5.0/5 > **Chris U.** | *27 February 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: QuickBooks Online allows me to work simultaneously with clients on the same file, which eliminates the need to exchange documents and is especially helpful during month-end closes when clients can review invoices while I reconcile accounts. Clients can access the platform from mobile devices to approve invoices or check cash flow, while I manage reconciliations on my laptop, providing flexibility for remote bookkeeping. Automatic bank and credit card feeds save significant time, and the auto-matching feature speeds up categorizing recurring transactions. The dashboard and reporting layout are intuitive for clients without accounting backgrounds, making financial information easy to understand and communication smoother. Features like uploading receipts and sending invoices directly from the platform are convenient for both clients and outsourced bookkeepers. > > **Cons**: Frequent interface updates can sometimes move menus or functions, disrupting established workflows and occasionally slowing down my work as I search for familiar features. While bank feeds are generally reliable, connections can occasionally drop, requiring re-authentication and minor client involvement. Support is efficient for routine questions, but guidance for complex account setups or historical data issues can vary depending on the representative, which can be challenging when managing multiple clients. > > QuickBooks Online is a practical and reliable solution for freelance and remote bookkeepers managing multiple small business clients. Its cloud-based access, real-time collaboration, and time-saving features make it highly suitable for distributed workflows. Although interface changes and occasional bank feed issues require some patience, its ease of use, flexibility, and core bookkeeping reliability outweigh these drawbacks. Having used QBO for several years, it has become an indispensable tool, and with slightly more stable bank feeds and clearer communication on updates, it could easily be a 5-star experience. Overall, I would rate it 4.5 out of 5. ----- ### "QuickBooks Online Accountant Review" — 5.0/5 > **Doris** | *14 January 2026* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: QuickBooks Online Accountant offers all the tools that I require to get used to before I can start using more advanced QB tools such as QBO. It is through this tool that I have been able to seamlessly customize invoices and carry out project accounting automatically. > > **Cons**: This is the basic tool for the entire QuickBooks Suite and I do not encounter issues while using it on my end. > > How I have learned a lot of basic and advanced things about accounting is the main benefit that I really count on in QBOA. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/233578/quickbooks-online-accountant?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/233578/quickbooks-online-accountant) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
