QuickBooks Premier

Enterprise is easy to use but it does NOT post accurate COGS to the P&L. It uses “average cost” instead of Bill of Materials total. For a manufacturing company that turns it’s inventory components multiple times annually, average cost is not an accurate reflection of the true cost for all build assemblies.

The software is sufficient from an accounting stand point but in terms of construction, it is not able to handle management of larger projects and multiple projects at one time

The reporting is too stagnant, with little room for manipulation or change.

I don’t like that you have to drill down into the system to find anything associated with the non profit.

For accounting, it is great. It’s probably a 4 or 5 out of 5. For other functions like bill of materials or material resource planning, it is probably a 1.

Quickbooks is not a project management software. It’s hard to track job to job and profit loss

I love Quickbooks. I use an older version so I am shopping around for new options to see what else it out there compared to Quickbooks, but I have always been quite happy with it.

The solution is ok for basic accounting but it does not handle industry specific options for my trucking company. I need to determine fuel costs and if we are profitable on some of these trucking jobs. I am not an accountant so I do not know how to customize the program easily.

Quickbooks Premier is not user friendly. We want to be able to track everything on a project by project basis and work up to roughly 500 projects annually varying in size and scope.

Generally speaking, someone here in our office is usually helpful enough to handle a QB error and we don’t need phone support. That was a huge deciding factor for us to purchase this software as other software providers charged a lot for phone support.

Quickbooks really does not do well with fund accounting and is very slow

The solution doesn’t allow us to do any kind of forecasting for material or budgets

Using Premier Manufacturing. Doesn’t do a good job when we want to manage inventory for the different jobs we are doing. Quickbooks is great when you want to do large job costing, but when you try and drill down into a specific job, it doesn’t do a great job of unifying the information on a single job basis

Functionally the program is good but I dislike the reporting. As a nonprofit, the reports are generic and don’t allow for customization which makes it difficult when generating P/L and cash flow statements to show categories for grants.

Does what its meant to do and attractive price tag

Been using nonprofit version. Total pain to use, it doesn’t give us any flexibility in terms of reporting especially within restricted donations. We need something that can truly create sub sections within the chart of accounts

For what I do, it’s great, but truth is I use this because my accountant uses it. It’s easy enough to put in all the financials, export and send then to my accountant and not have to worry about it for a few days.

Great for accounting

Our company owner always has an issue with the billing. We have retainage of 10% not shown on the invoice at all and we can’t do that currently with Quickbooks.

Everything works fine with Quickbooks but it’s not e-commerce friendly and not a good format for entry for information, given that everything else is good. I wish a customer could view my inventory and have better customer integration

Easy to use solution

I love Quickbooks Premier and would not change a thing about it. I’ve used it for years and find it very easy to use and learn.

There isn’t much that I don’t like about it, but I know that it is old and been around forever and there is something more up to date available, a lot of people don’t like change though

I want the system to be more complex where I can have everything in 1 system, the solution is too basic, it can handle 9 entities but it is too basic. Quickbooks is really friendly and I recommend it for a small company

To be honest I hate Quickbooks Premier. I dislike almost everything about it but mostly the payroll. I also need multiple company reporting which it isn’t able to do.

Its a great tool to use for Construction

Had already used QB and upgraded to Premier to handle our job costing. We still just use a regular spreadsheet for our job costing. The functionality showed to us by the vendor did not work out the way we wanted. We will continue to look at outside job costing solutions that integrate in with QB rather than try to have the program handle it ourselves.

Reasonable priced, but it has it’s limitations.

Love the product but the lack of service and constant updated without fixing everything is driving me away from INTUIT

Total pain to use, it doesn’t give us any flexibility in terms of reporting especially within restricted donations. We need something that can truly create sub sections within the chart of accounts
