## Reviews

### "Best Payroll Utility" — 5.0/5

> **Tanveer** | *2 November 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: QuickBooks Payroll is user-friendly and seamlessly integrates with QuickBooks accounting software, which makes managing payroll, taxes, and employee benefits much easier. The automated calculations and tax filing features are reliable and save a lot of time. The support for direct deposits is also a great advantage, making the payment process efficient for both employers and employees.
> 
> **Cons**: The cost can be a bit high for smaller businesses, especially if they need additional features or multi-state payroll support. Occasional updates or changes in tax regulations may require some manual adjustments, and the customer service response time can sometimes be slower than expected.
> 
> My overall experience with QuickBooks Payroll has been positive. The software simplifies the complexities of payroll management and provides a comprehensive solution that minimizes errors and ensures compliance with tax regulations. The automation has improved the workflow, allowing me to focus on other business priorities. While there are areas for improvement, especially regarding cost and occasional service delays, it remains a reliable tool for payroll management.

### "Seamless, automated payroll that saves significant time" — 5.0/5

> **Brendan** | *26 June 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The biggest advantage is how seamlessly it integrates with the rest of QuickBooks; having our accounting and payroll in one system saves so much time and reduces data entry errors. The automation for tax calculations and filings is also a major relief—it’s very efficient for staying compliant without needing to be a payroll expert.
> 
> **Cons**: The customer support can be frustrating when you run into a specific, tricky issue, as wait times can be long. Additionally, while the core features are great, the pricing can start to feel expensive as your team grows and you need to add more employees or advanced reporting features.
> 
> QuickBooks Payroll has been a reliable backbone for managing our employee payments, tax compliance, and pay stubs. It’s intuitive once you have it set up, and it really simplifies the administrative burden of running a small business. While there’s a learning curve and support could be more responsive, the time I save on manual payroll tasks makes it well worth the investment.

-----

### "Time Saved" — 5.0/5

> **cyndy** | *19 May 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Create and send professional invoices&#10;&#10;Accept online payments (credit card, ACH, etc.)&#10;&#10;Set up automatic reminders and recurring invoices
> 
> **Cons**: The way that everything costs extra and really starts to add up. &#10;For example: features like Payroll, Time Tracking, and Inventory Management are not included in base plans.&#10;&#10;Annual price increases — Intuit often raises subscription prices, especially for QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop.&#10;&#10;Multiple users = higher cost — Want to add more than one team member? That’s often an extra fee.&#10;&#10;Support access is tiered — Priority customer support is only included in higher-priced plans.
> 
> QuickBooks has been a reliable and comprehensive tool for managing business finances. From invoicing and tracking expenses to preparing for tax time, it streamlines many of the tasks that used to take hours. While the pricing can increase with add-ons, the time saved and overall functionality make it a worthwhile investment for growing businesses

### "QB Payroll" — 2.0/5

> **Linda** | *6 June 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The only thing I like is that I can access my client's payroll easily, other than that, it is terrible and I do not recommend it.
> 
> **Cons**: Hard to navigate the screens, Intuit has taken complete control over payroll, can't make adjustments when needed, Inuit sets up unneeded payroll items automatically, support is terrible and takes too long for corrections, support does not understand the payroll tax rules
> 
> I am a CPA and have been using QuickBooks since 1999, I have been supporting clients since then with both QBD and QBO.

### "The best way to create an invoice" — 5.0/5

> **Shani** | *31 July 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Anyone looking for the easiest way to prepare invoices should download this software. It's simple, smart, and easy to use.
> 
> **Cons**: What I like most is that you can integrate with other software like: d-tools. It helps organize the work, quotes, and conversion to invoices.
> 
> I am very satisfied with the software, the best way to prepare invoices and receive the money is through the software, it is also convenient for the customer.
