Note with QBO: If you want a most basic feature - marking an expense as billable and invoicing it back to a client - you must buy a premium plan with Quickbooks that gives you hundreds of features you don't care about. It's like a ruse - such a basic feature "billable expenses" singled out to push you into a higher plan...
I agree with this. Their billing practices have really started to irritate me lately. My cost have gone up 8x since I've started using them over 10 years ago. Ridiculous.
@@donnfelkeryt I hate intuit with a passion and qbo specifically. The shit has maddeningly terrible UX, slow af, constant issues with selecting the wrong thing and having to spend hours fixing it because there's no simple UNDO option like any normal software from this century, oh and if you have to call support hopefully it's during the hours of 9 - 5 when these issues happen in order for them to be useless to help with even simple things. All while constantly raising the price on long term customers while making it more and more increasingly difficult to use, constantly moving things around on the interface, flat out terrible and inefficient design, constant pop ups advertising whatever thing they're fleecing people for this week.
@@bfourney Sadly, after spending a lot of time in there recently, I'm starting to feel the same way... this year. The UX/UI has become insanely slow. The pricing is out of control at this point too. When I started using the product it was about $12.95 a month. Now I think I pay close to $89 a month. I am currently considering other options for the future.
Hello, I can't stand QB, which I've had for years, which is also why I'd like to switch from QB desktop to another desktop software that's designed for that purpose, so it's seamless, easy migration, almost identical, with built-in shipping manager, etc. Is there such a thing, & if so, which is the best? Thank you...
@@donnfelkeryt any sort of direct comparisons, pros & cons, or this service has x but this service has x and y. Stuff like that would be helpful instead of just "use what your accountant likes" cuz not everyone has an accountant.
We are a company located in Canada and are looking to transition from Quickbooks 2016 Desktop to QBO or Xero. Was wondering what you recommendation for a import wholesale business that is seasonal (functioning only 6 months out of year) We will need to use an inventory management software such as Cin7 or Fishbowl to manage out inventory and was wondering which one would integrate better overall. Lastly, who do you think is more innovated in the market? Who do you think will be better and preferred 10 years down the line? Thanks!

if you dont suggest why making a video. also why we have to make their lives easy by paying more for a s/w especially when they are not doing anything for free?
Well, this totally wasn't helpful. I've been using Quickbooks and I like QB, but I'm just a small company, a self-employed person and I don't want to change over to QB Online because of the expense. I originally bought it when you can buy a desktop version, but now you can only buy their online version. I'm opting to learn Freshbooks. I've read a number of reviews.
4 min and 12 seconds I will never get back 😂 you literally said everything about nothing that has to do with the title of this video completely pointless man
General good advice, though I learned nothing about the differences between the three systems - cost, features, etc.
Watched the entire thing and learned Xero
I'm a dentist who owns my own office. I've been using Quickbooks online for 6 years, and I think it's the devil. I don't know why I still use it.
😂 I feel your pain.
Glad you being honest about us pure trash

Let us know if you find a better solution! That’s what I pay too and it’s constantly giving me trouble!
This is not a review of the three software’s, this is just a statement saying: „use what your accountant uses“.
A waste of time for me.
cool. never thought to ask my accountant what they use. thanks for the tip!
You bet!
What do most accountants .. CPAs use ?
Smart! I've been in a dark youtube hole trying to choose and this is the best advice ever. Thank you, REALLY!

Is there such a thing, & if so, which is the best?
Thank you...
That was helpful. Thanks Donn.
Very welcome
most good accountants should know how to use these 3 for sure by now. its 2024... if they don't know these softwares they're lacking.
Do you have an Accountant on staff or use a consultant? Any recommendations?
I looked up an EA (Enrolled Agent) locally and I use them on a consulting like basis.
This was beyond not helpful
Thats a bummer. What info were you looking for? Maybe I can help.

xeros bank reconciliation is waaaaay better and easier
Really? I'll have to give it a shot!
@@donnfelkeryt atleast for me. i couldnt stand QB
