Reviews of QuickBooks Payroll
From Forever Young
Pros:
You can keep up with time, payroll, overtime, taxes, and benefits m
Cons:
Nothing. I love this software. I highly recommend everyone use it.
A good All in One Payroll Software
Comments: This software saves me time and money getting the tedious job of payroll done and over with quickly and accurately.
Pros:
I like the fact that Quickbooks Payroll allows a small buisness owner to keep track of hours worked, employee paychecks and billing all in one platform.
Cons:
The pricing was a little higher than i would have liked but you get what you pay for and Quickbooks is the best ive ever used.

Comments: This software is easy to operate and easy to navigate.
Pros:
It is easy to navigate. Anyone can use this software.
Cons:
You have to pay to use the payroll portion of Quickbooks. Company I worked for didn't want to utilize this function.
Alternatives Considered:
AVOID at all costs
Comments: I had an issue arise in May of 2024. I promptly contacted support and was told it would be fixed. It was not. The problem remained through September of 2024, despite over a dozen conversation I had with their support team. I ultimately canceled my subscription and hired a local payroll company instead.
Pros:
QuickBooks Payroll was fine until I needed support. At that point, it was cumbersome and frustrating to deal with agent after agent over multiple tickets and months to address the issue, which was never ultimately resolved.
Cons:
Their support is completely lacking. If you need any level of professional service, work with a payroll company directly. I literally spend hours of my time talking and chatting with their support to address what they described as a "software issue" with my account.
Straightforward for the most part, could be simpler in some areas
Comments: Generally overall a good experience. I no longer use this because I no longer need to manage my own payroll, however because of how simple the platform was in general, and for headline figures, I would use it again.
Pros:
Typically it is easier to use than other market leaders. Once you are familiar with the platform it is easy to find what you need, the inclusion of a bookmarking/favourites feature helps with this also.
Cons:
On some aspects of Payroll, it seemed to over complicate the process, such as whenever you made changes to an employee, the process could be simplified to be more streamline and also less jargon and more helpful tips and text for functions relating to payroll specifically such as NI rates etc.
