QuickBooks (Intuit) review

Familiar ledger and payroll; no progress invoicing on page.

Verdict

QuickBooks is the default ledger for small contractors, and its home page covers payroll, contractor payments and project cost tracking. It does not mention progress invoicing, which is why it ranks below tools built for pay applications.

What customers praise

The page describes tracking and predicting project costs, payroll scheduling and Auto Payroll, a Payroll Tax Accuracy Guarantee, and paying contractors through QuickBooks payroll tools. Plan names include Online, Online Advanced, Desktop and Enterprise.

What customers criticise

Progress invoicing is not mentioned, and job costing is described only in general terms. The page lists no plan prices and points to a pricing page, so we state none.

Best for

Very small contractors and sole operators who already use QuickBooks and need payroll and general invoicing before complex pay applications.
