I also thought the general ease of use was good. It did give me a good picture of my small business and that helped me with running my business better. I also really liked the reporting. The Profit and Loss statements were the most important report that I generated because I would use that to deliver it to my accountant and then do my taxes from there. QuickBooks can really only take you so far. Which is good. I would generally recommend it to all small business owners, like myself. I am not an accountant and truly suck at accounting. So I decided to give it a shot, and then realized that even with super detailed entry, I still needed a professional accountant to get the extra tax breaks that automation simply could not perform. Yes, I know they offer further services, like a live professional, but that just didn't work for me. I tried it one year and then compared it to a year when I hired an accountant and provided the reports and was able to get more refund. So overall, it is a good beginners tool. > > **Cons**: I hated the fact that it asked me every time there was a new entry if I wanted to make a rule for that entry. I wanted QB to be fast as possible because I loathe accounting. I need to focus on selling my items. However, I understand how important accounting is, thus why I put such a focus on it in my business. I also hated the fact that I could not batch "Tag" items. For example, I actually have 3 companies and did my accounting ALL wrong... I had to go back and do it all over. I realized that I needed to "Tag" and "categorize" properly in order to separate the companies transactions so I could get accurate reporting. Basically, I had to manually tag each and every transaction, which SUCKED\!\! I have an e-commerce business with thousands of line items and I had to do it one by one, which ultimately made me want to cancel QB. Be it as it may, it was my fault. I did not do it properly from the start. I didn't realize how to separate different companies with one QB account. I tried to have 3 separate accounts but that was too costly and thought I could easily do it with one swift click of a button, and BOY was I wrong. I probably developed carpal tunnel from this years taxes. And then decided to close down 2 of the 3 companies because I realized how to actually run my entire enterprise better. I still have one LLC. I closed another LLC and an S Corp as a result of better understanding my taxes and how to be a better small business owner. > > I think QB is really positive overall. The simple truth is that an accountant knows way more than I do. I did my taxes all wrong for 2+ years using QB. I probably could have gotten a lot more refund had I had more tax knowledge. Taxes are deep. That's why people specialize in it. I am a salesman and entrepreneur. I HATE doing taxes. After my carpal tunnel episode, (I was crunching and cursing QB and the IRS,) I realized how to actually do my taxes the right way. The best thing I can say is that QB gives a good overall picture and the reporting is good as long as you tag everything correctly. But that doesn't work easily if you have thousands of micro-transactions, such as myself. So I had to go through every line item and tag it for the appropriate enterprise. I have finally figured out how to do taxes... Use a program like QB and then deliver the reporting to a good accountant who can really find the tax breaks. They simply can't do it over the phone like an in person accountant. And I had to find a good one who was recommended to me by a friend. Not any accountant will do. DO your research on taxes\!\!\! You can get a good refund if you have a good accountant and also do the prep work which QB is capable of but only for one company at a time. Tagging things one by one is terrible\!\!\! ----- ### "Excellent for beginners" — 5.0/5 > **Natalie** | *22 November 2024* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, to learn and set up. I could learn the basics of freelance book-keeping > > **Cons**: not sure. It served all my needs at the time. > > Excellent.

As all of intuit's products, Self-Employed guides you through the uses. Self-Employed is so accurate and easy to use. > > **Cons**: I don't have a con about this one. It's saved me so much on my taxes. I'm blown away on how intuitiveness. > > I love they have so many options and ways of showing users to add transactions. ----- ### "Sticken with Quicken" — 5.0/5 > **Amy** | *10 August 2021* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The thing I am most fond of with QuickBooks Self-Employed version is the ease of use. The software offers a user the functions that cover all necessary withholding categories that are required on a state and federal level. It inputs the correct taxes, insurance, fees etc. required by law within your area. And if you are not within regulation it notifies you and offers the user direction into making sure you are financially in accord to the law. > > **Cons**: What I like least about the software is the exporting IOC information can get tricky sometimes depending on how it will be opened by the receiving device. > > My overall experience with QuickBooks self employed is I am completely satisfied and enjoy the use of the software currently as my bookkeeper. It has been an asset to my small business ----- ### "Budget Estimator" — 4.0/5 > **fannie** | *31 October 2025* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: QuickBooks offers a wide range of functions that help organize the company’s operations, including managing invoices, payments, and inventory. > > **Cons**: The program doesn’t have an auto-save feature, so accidentally pressing the wrong keys can cause it to close and result in the loss of all entered data. > > It’s an excellent program for office use. It keeps everything organized, itemized, and recorded, and it even manages payroll. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/22978/quickbooks-self-employed?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/22978/quickbooks-self-employed) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
