## Reviews

### "Great product" — 5.0/5

> **Tanya** | *18 August 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Makes doing payroll a breeze, deals with all the taxes that need to be accounted for and store employee information
> 
> **Cons**: The cost, the cost has gone up quite a bit since we first started using it, recently being to largest increase.
> 
> Overall, it makes my life a lot easier for payroll and figuring out what the payroll taxes are. Tax time is so much easier for both myself and my accountant.

### "Makes client payroll simple in QBO" — 4.0/5

> **Beck** | *9 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** | *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.

### "A Great Option for Small Businesses" — 5.0/5

> **Raegan** | *17 November 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love having payroll within the accounting system so all the data flows so seamlessly. I'm also a big fan of QuickBooks Payroll autofiling and autopaying the payroll taxes. This takes a huge burden off the small business staff.
> 
> **Cons**: The biggest con is the cost. For my client's with a large headcount, it makes it too expensive to use QuickBooks Payroll. I wish discounts were offered based on staff size.
> 
> I'm overall very pleased with my experience. I haven't incurred any real issues with the software. I've had to call support just a few times with minor questions or concerns but was always met with a resolution.

### "Good for small businesses" — 4.0/5

> **Landon** | *24 November 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: QuickBooks Payroll is easy to use and integrates smoothly with their other products. The connected ecosystem saves time, reduces duplicate work, and makes day-to-day payroll tasks feel more straightforward.
> 
> **Cons**: Customer support felt impersonal and slow. When something went wrong, it often seemed like we were just another number in line, and getting a clear resolution took more effort than it should have.
> 
> My experience with QuickBooks Payroll was generally good, but we ultimately moved to another provider that offered more robust features, stronger customer support, and better HR and benefits integrations to match our growing needs.
