Fast-developing startup that uses QuickBooks Online

What are the best aspects of this product?

This is my pioneer experience with QuickBooks products, and I am quite satisfied. I think that every developing business needs a cloud-based environment to handle work from, and to access it from every device, unlike old licensed programs that took ages to use. It is well-integrated with local software, and extracts Excel data painlessly. The friendliness of their UI is just another bonus.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

Don't get me wrong, the UI is intuitive! However, there are transactions that aren't (deposit/card transactions to invoices, disabling associated A/R, etc). I warn you that the software is not integrated with many credit card payment processors, and unless you're using their own systems or Stripe, you will have problems. We use Stripe, and QuickBooks exports data easily from there as an iif.file. Even this was painful, as it turned out that QuickBooks Online supported only qbo files, and we had to code a conversion program to avoid paying for a separate plugin service. I'd tell you to do the same, because the montly subscriptions of foreign software cost a small fortune.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We solved many of our accounting issues. The primary benefit is the intuitive interface, and the problem-free extraction of Excel data.
