- 76HubSpot is down and timing out right now“All I need to do is post transactions into the register and every click takes forever to process.”
- 62How to handle unexpected software subscription price hikes and slow support“To keep jacking up the desktop price each year by several hundred dollars? CRIMINALS.”
- 43How to find a cheaper CRM when HubSpot gets too expensive“Literally nothing I’d love to replace more than quickbooks”
- 39Why does every software update make things slower and harder to find?“I swear every time they change the platform I want to scream. They're making me crazy.”
- 31Why do debits and credits make no sense?“Like many people i lack some skills that are needed for accounting; any suggestions are appreciated!”
- 30Why is accounting software like QuickBooks so bad?“QB Online is borderline unusable now, the page takes forever to load, and when you think its done loading and click on something, surprise. It finishes loading.”
- 29Vendor tech support takes months to respond to tickets“Payroll journals don't sync more often than they do forcing me to contact support.”
- 20How to clean up messy CRM data after importing“I just exported the customer list to excel and removed the customer's ID, but I can't seem to import a bulk customer in QB Desktop.”
- 17How to handle expense reports without being good at math“Right now, everything ends up scattered across emails, downloads, and shared drives.”
- 16Why do Microsoft software updates and account errors break everything?“I need the bank feeds to work consistently so I can run my business. I pay more than $1k a year for this tool and it's barely usable.”
- 16Why am I seeing ads in software I already paid for?“We now have to decline a unsolicited loan offer from Intuit every single time an invoice is saved. On a *paid* product.”
- 16Why won't my store data update through the API?“anytime a payroll payment is rejected and then later paid, it will not sync the license back to desktop to show it as active.”
- 15Why is QuickBooks still taking credit card fees from my bank account?“So my client usually pays in check, but this past few months they had to pay with card. I turned on the option for the customer to get the cc fee, but quickbooks pulled the fee out of the total invoice amount.”
- 14Why is it so hard to export and switch accounting software?“I see that there is an excel export option built in which I have already used but the new service I want to try is asking for CSV format. I'm assuming that QBO makes it deliberately difficult to export data into a good/digestible format for another software to utilize so if there is a third party tool or service that does this well I'm open to suggestions.”
- 14Why am I getting locked out of my account when using the correct password?“I can't login as admin to change a users password since the intuit login keeps spinning and never actually does anything but spin after I type in my email address.”
- 13Simple offline accounting software without monthly subscriptions“Can't anybody make a desktop QB-like product that shows the register, credit card entries, check-writing, reconciliation of accounts, and profit/loss, balance sheet, etc. ????? No invoicing, inventory, payment acceptance, or getting online for anything necessary!”
