Once you learn it, it feels like home!
While it is has taken some time to learn to how to create and customize according to our needs, I now feel it quite simple to handle our accounting and reporting.
Pros
Remote access to our books and allows me to provide access to my accountant and board treasurer. Reports are easy to produce. Entering and classifying transactions is simple now that I know the software.
Cons
It would be great if the nonprofit version would default to the proper statement names such as Statement of Activities (for P/L) and Statement of Financial Position (for Balance Sheet).

QB still remains the Boss of Accounting Software Systems!
I am enjoying using the online version and look forward to all the incentives for bringing and setting up clients, like revenue share and affiliate commissions. QB still remains the easiest and most valued bookkeeping software that I will recommend. There are video tutorials for literally everything.
Pros
I love how everything updates automatically for the client when entering as the accountant. Bank reconciliations are an absolute breeze as well when you link bank accounts.
Cons
I miss being able to use the standard shortcuts that are available with the desktop version making things easier to keep your hands on the keyboard for faster entry. I am learning a few alternatives though as I go.
Reasons for Choosing QuickBooks Online
Expanding my clients and needed to upgrade my desktop software anyways. Plus QB Accountant is free for what I need currently and I receive revenue shares and affiliate commissions.Switched From

Simple yet Effective - Can do what you need
Very happy with QBO - We were using QBO and switched to Sage Intacct. Now integrating with other platforms is ridiculously expensive, nothing is intuitive, and we are strongly considering going back to QBO.
Pros
Very easy to use. Intuitive. And lots of google answers if you need help.
Cons
Not a lot to not like. Is user friendly and can't find anything bad to say

Switching back to QBO because the integrations with Sage are quirky. QBO always ran smoothly and we had so much more control.Switched From

Horrendous Program
QuickBooks Online is horrendous. The system is slow to do anything, it seems every task takes longer than QuickBooks Desktop. It takes days to process payments; keep being told a "glitch" that flags EVERY payment as suspicious. Clients are getting angry it takes so long to process payments. The system cannot handle the size of the payments going through; although only a few clients pay by credit card, the ones that do is disastrous. We will be canceling the payments add-on. I am trying to get ALL my clients off QuickBooks online and to go to a different program.
Pros
The only positive it is not ties to one computer and can be accessed anywhere
Cons
The system takes too many steps to do a task, it does not receive payments effectively from clients. The customer service is absolutely useless and does not care about anything.

The Industry Standard
QB Online is an excellent app. Of the different accounting software I've used as a bookkeeper, this is my favorite.
Pros
Easy to use, intuitive, has lots of plugins and features, and the AI/intuition of the app to guess the category for new transactions works pretty well
Cons
Not really a con, but it doesn't work the best for fund accounting (I work in the nonprofit sector with designated funds).
