Marg QuickBooks Payroll

I can't think of why I used this piece of poorly written software in the first place. Maybe, it don't have a competitor in the market?

QBA is one of the worst product I have used so far. It is slow, and it hang frequently.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Easy to log in from anywhere. There are a lot of good and robust features.

Online version is much slower than desktop version. Depending on the speed of the internet connection, it can be a really slow process. Entering data isn't such a big deal but when you are trying to chase down a problem and jump around within the data, that's where it gets really frustrating.

Quickbooks is mainly used for accounting purposes and bookkeeping in our company, but we have used it as a payroll provider for our executive team and we have found that what we liked was:

- It is automatic. Meaning you can set it up and let it run by itself. No need to constantly check in or make sure everything is good. Set it and forget it. This applies to salaried employees. For hourly employees, I would be checking their time sheets.

- It integrates with a lot of applications such as T-sheets which is a great option for hourly employees.

- It integrates seamlessly with your accounting (of course), which makes it very easy for you and your accountant to go over come tax season. (Your accountant can get special access to your QB which makes life easier for the both of you).

- Quickbooks produces reports that you can download and use for accounting, loan, or projections.

Quickbooks is great as an accounting tool and I like that you can connect your payroll directly to your accounting, but Quickbooks had a lot of negative sides to it as a Payroll provider.

- It was not easily understandable how to use the program and thus we spent a lot of wasted time trying to figure out how to understand it and how we could use it.

- Additionally, it was not easy to understand their reports. They seem to be geared too much towards people with actual Accounting experience.

- For running such a small payroll as we were, the pricing was high. I am sure that if we ran the payroll we do for the entire company and not just a small portion of it (the rest we use Square for), it would be cheaper, but something to consider!

- Unlike Square, Quickbooks doesn't file all forms for you. Some, they do, but mostly you are on your own with remembering and filing the right forms.

This software is essential for any person who chose bookkeeping as their career. The best aspects of this specific branch of the Quickbooks software are the tutorials for anyone learning to use it for the first time, the ability to learn how to do payroll from a bookkeeper's standpoint and the way it was designed to be understood and not to confuse you.

There were very few things, if any, that I can say I ever disliked when I was using this software. I was able to efficiently prepare and execute payroll and it also allowed me to train fellow employees how to do the same. All in all, there is nothing to say that I disliked.
