Tax time is so much easier for both myself and my accountant. ----- ### "Makes client payroll simple in QBO" — 4.0/5 > **Beck** | *09 September 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it’s already inside QuickBooks, so I don’t have to deal with extra syncing or posting journal entries. The setup is simple, and it’s easy to set up different pay types for different clients. Workforce is also a plus - clients’ employees can log in and get their own paystubs and info without me being the middle person. > > **Cons**: It does cost more than some other payroll options. I’ve run into a couple of glitches here and there, but support has been good and got things sorted out pretty quickly. > > I use QBO Payroll to run payroll for clients, and overall it makes the process smooth. Everything stays clean in the file, and it saves me time. It’s not the cheapest option, but the integration and ease of use make it worth it for me. ----- ### "Helps but there's probably a cheaper program" — 3.0/5 > **Alicia** | *03 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. ----- ### "QB Payroll: Great option for employer and employee" — 4.0/5 > **Katelynn** | *29 January 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I’ve had the pleasure of utilizing QB Payroll from the employer standpoint as well as employee. The range of customization as an employer is very beneficial. This is especially true where taxes are concerned. QB Payroll has options for setting up state and federal and federal taxes, as well as PTO, and things like wage garnishment. From the employee standpoint, the ease of use was undeniable. The ability to view your weekly schedule was a plus as well. > > **Cons**: From the employer perspective, payroll submission could get especially tricky during holidays. Depending on which plan you pay for depends on when you need payroll submitted. Holidays means having to submit early and if missed, you had employees going without pay. No opinion from the employee perspective > > Overall I believe it’s a useful tool as an employer. Its ease of use and customization lightens the load of an often overworked employer. As an employee, it was a fine system to use to log hours and track time. ----- ### "Quickbooks payroll" — 5.0/5 > **Bianca** | *06 January 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Quickbooks payroll was very easy to use, and banking integration was simple. Customer support is quick and helpful. Paystubs are easy to access. Overall good value for the cost. > > **Cons**: Quickbooks can be a little hard to use for new customers who aren’t familiar with payroll management. A couple of big issues that were dealt with. > > Overall pleasant experience, everything felt secure and easy to manage. Good for payroll and expense management. ----- Page: 1 / 40\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/20429/quickbooks-online?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/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
