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. ----- ### "Great experience." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *19 December 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: QuickBooks is very easy to learn and understand. The program has progressively gotten better over the past number of years, making it interface with time clocks and increasing the ease of making tax payments a breeze. Our accountant also likes it as it makes his job easier. > > **Cons**: It is on the higher end of the cost for this type of program. Due to it's complexity, a new user today may have more difficulty in learning the system. But once you learn it, it is a great addition to your office. > > I have used QuickBooks for over 30 years and have always had a great experience. Changes they have made have increased the usability of the program and the interfaces with my timeclock has made it so much better. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Quickbooks Payroll the best for Small,Medium Company" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 February 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is friendly user accounting software. I like this very much. Very easy to learn even no background in Accounting. > > **Cons**: You can edit even the reports are already done. You should put all data and give more time. I dont want use quickbooks if my computer is MAC. > > QuickBooks Payroll is the first software that I used. Although I dont have a formal training but I became expert using this software. I trained some of my co worker for this software. ----- Page: 1 / 41\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/20429/quickbooks-online?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/20429/quickbooks-online) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
