Secondly importing transactions from bank statements is very complicated and crashes the application on many occasions. Lastly limited to the office computer but that is a conscious decision to keep the cost down. > > Overall satisfied with the performance and have rated it 4 stars. The invoicing functionality and reconciliation tools are the most helpful features. Off late the updates have slowed down and there is constant push to move to cloud version. ----- ### "Getting old..." — 4.0/5 > **Tyler** | *November 20, 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use for bookeepers and beginners, and powerful accounting features for everyone up to and including CPAs. > > **Cons**: It's a well-established powerhouse, but it's starting to show its age in the day of OAuth and SaaS. We find it increasingly difficult to integrate with and will move to QBO in the future. > > Overall it's been fantastic. Used for over 15 years with different versions and generally works as advertised\! ----- ### "Quickbooks is \#1" — 5.0/5 > **Connie** | *December 15, 2025* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about QuickBooks Desktop is that it is user friendly. Although you need to know the basics of bookkeeping you don't have to be an accountant to use it. > > **Cons**: What I like the least is that it is no longer available to upgrade. This should be made available to users that wish to stay on desktop bookkeeping. > > Overall experience has been great. Great customer support when it was available and great chat support too. ----- ### "QuickBooks: Good, but not perfect for Remote Workers" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *August 24, 2025* | Renewables & Environment | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the fact that QuickBooks has a whole range of reporting customization available. It was mainly helpful in inventory Management. > > **Cons**: The worst thing about QuickBooks Desktop was inability to work from home. I had to go to office for smallest of the tasks and could never work from home. It did not help specially during covid. > > Love QuickBooks Desktop's features, but being desktop-based makes it tough to work from home. Still, it's a solid accounting solution that gets the job done. Would be 5 stars if it had better remote access. ----- ### "Master Reviewer" — 5.0/5 > **Mike** | *April 2, 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **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. > > My overall experience with Quickbooks desktop has been excellent and I will definitely recommend it to others. ----- Page: 1 / 103\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/173879/quickbooks-desktop-pro?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/173879/quickbooks-desktop-pro) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
