This was the first payroll app I've ever used and I didn't have any trouble picking it up. It also made it easy to get my employees setup and paid. > > **Cons**: On occasion we do run into a problem where the taxes are not being taken out. This has only happened once but quickbooks support team was fast and extremely helpful, which helped us get the issue resolved. > > QuickBooks Payroll is easy to use and helps me manage our payroll with no trouble. Our company is small, so for the time being, we still use paper for the checks and pay stubs. The great thing is that we are in the process of switching everything to being digital. Overall, this software is great. The software is secure, and the set up is straightforward. I can clearly see how much money is going out weekly. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Helps but there's probably a cheaper program" — 3.0/5 > **Alicia** | *3 July 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to view employees, their hours, set job expectations, easy to setup employees when hired on. Easy to fix issues if they arise. > > **Cons**: The cost is rising and we barely need all the services provided. There should be a la cart options for building our own package of services needed vs jumping to the next substantial cost increase. > > So far it's decent. We had an employee to put the wrong bank info in for direct deposit and QBP is not quick to correct the debit from my account. I had to write a check and now i have 2 debited payrolls for the employee, 7 days later no refund showing yet despite assurance it will refund soon. I will follow up. ----- ### "I recommend this" — 5.0/5 > **Rhonda** | *16 April 2026* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Quick book payroll makes it ease for me to do direct deposits. The cost for quick books is worth it to me. > > **Cons**: There were a few little issues that had to be worked out with customer support, before it was up and running correctly. > > If you work with payroll the price you pay in your time quick books is work the money. I recommend this to everyone. ----- ### "QBO is the way to go\!" — 5.0/5 > **Sarah** | *6 April 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the ability to automate payroll for set hourly and salary employees. I also appreciate the ability to automate payroll tax accruals for filing and payments. > > **Cons**: I noticed that the software doesn't calculate Simple IRA deductions as it should for pre-tax deductions and I have to manually calculate and change on each payroll. > > Overall, my experiences have been good. Anytime I need assistance, chat support has almost always proven to be the way to go. ----- Page: 1 / 41\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/174981/quickbooks?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/174981/quickbooks) ## 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 | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
