If You Use QuickBooks (Desktop or Online), What Frustrates You the Most About It? What Do You Like Best About It?

For mass data entry I prefer desktop, but encourage my clients to so what works for them.

Starting out 10 years ago, being an introverted guy I joined a networking group. There are many I started in a different group that was local and now belong to BNI, which helps with a stream of referrals.

In general when you are out of balance you need to find your last correct balance if possible, and then work forward line by line to see where the error occurred. QBO can sometimes be a bit tricky because you have the ability in the ledger to mark items a reconciled and cleared without using the reconciliation feature. Also, if you have your QuickBooks set up to make life "easier" with automatic imports you may want to hold those for just a bit to get things cleared up. Unfortunately, being out of balance is a pain and does take often lot of time and attention to detail to correct. As with about everyone else in the string I do use it everyday. I would be happy to do a 1 hour free phone consultation with you if it would help.
