Even if I'm in my cottage, I can run the payroll. Also, I can integrate with other software like Connecteam. > > **Cons**: Currently, I haven't experienced a difficulty with the software. I have to enter all the correct parameters correctly. > > Great. Since 2015, we have been running the software and it hasn't given me any grief. All the QuickBooks software is great. ----- ### "Quickbooks Payroll" — 4.0/5 > **Kurtis** | *May 11, 2025* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s easy to use, I don’t feel like I need a payroll expert to do it. Links nicely to workforce for employees to view their own pay stubs and set up their own bank/tax info > > **Cons**: Doesn’t easily handle holiday pay. There’s not a simple way to get an employee time and a half for working on a given day ----- ### "Helpful Payroll Tool, But Customer Support Could Improve" — 5.0/5 > **Robert** | *May 22, 2026* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: QuickBooks Payroll makes payroll much easier to manage in one place. I like that it keeps employee pay, deductions, tax information, pay stubs, and business records organized. The system is fairly straightforward once it is set up, and it helps save time compared to trying to manage payroll manually. > > **Cons**: Customer support could be better, especially when dealing with specific issues or account questions. Some bugs or setup issues can take longer than expected to resolve, and at times it can feel difficult to get clear answers quickly. The pricing can also feel a bit high for smaller businesses. > > Overall, QuickBooks Payroll has been helpful for managing payroll, pay stubs, taxes, and employee records. It adds value by keeping business management and payroll tasks organized in one system, which is important when running a business. Security and banking features are also helpful, especially when handling sensitive employee and payment information. That said, the experience is not perfect. There can be occasional bugs, delays, or confusion when trying to fix issues, and customer support is one area that could be improved. For the money, it is useful, but small business owners need reliable support when payroll or banking matters are involved. ----- ### "Quickbooks Payroll the best for Small,Medium Company" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *February 13, 2026* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is friendly user accounting software. I like this very much. Very easy to learn even no background in Accounting. > > **Cons**: You can edit even the reports are already done. You should put all data and give more time.

I trained some of my co worker for this software. ----- ### "Great Program" — 5.0/5 > **Tanya** | *July 13, 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: We love that it deals with coming up with pay cheque amounts, removing all the taxes that need to be taken off and puts together what we owe to the government for payrolls taxes. > > **Cons**: We are not a fan that the pricing keeps going up very regularily and it's generally quite a bit of an increase each time. > > Overall it is amazing for helping us process our payroll and coming up with the amount of money we have to take off and taxes that need to be paid. ----- Page: 1 / 41\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/174981/quickbooks?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/174981/quickbooks) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
