Our company uses QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for all accounting purposes. We use it to create income statements and balance sheets. We use QuickBooks for tax purposes and send a QuickBooks backup file annually to our CPA, allowing them to prepare our tax return. All companies need a way to manage their accounting and track their financial transactions, including both spending and revenue. Our company is a small company of 20 employees in the aerospace defense industry. As a small company, a large ERP system is not necessary. QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise works for our small company. QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise can be used for manufacturing companies, construction companies, or any small business in any industry. Setting up and getting QuickBooks running may require a small advisory service from a professional accountant for a small business start-up or for any small business just beginning to use the accounting software.

Many Reports inluding Financial reports. (Income Statement and Balance Sheet.)

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is a suitable option for companies with 1 to 100 employees. It is an efficient way to keep track of your books for managerial reasons and tax purposes. It is generally the go-to software for accounting. It does take some skill to get things set up and to know what to do for specific accounting transactions. You will most likely need an accountant who knows what they are doing to keep track of your books. Preferably someone or an honest team. For large companies, they will want to consider a comprehensive ERP system that integrates departmental systems.

Inter-company transactions

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise allows for 40 users with detailed role based permissions, which allows us to create so many different profiles for all our stakeholders. As a construction company the business specific functions allow us to do costing / progress billing which is so much easier to have on one place. Keeping track of all of our expenses and revenue per project is so important. The reporting and data capabilities is unparalleled and allows us to slice our reports and data in a very usable way.
We use QuickBooks for our business accounting. It is our main function for tracking bill pay, checks, etc. It's also our main source of billing and invoincing. It's a "one-stop shop" for us.
Pros
Preparing Reports - it helps track P&L statements, Accounts Receivable summaries, etc. It makes the process simple.
Invoicing - it makes invoicing a breeze. It does the math automatically for you and it's all stored in a convenient client customer profile
Tracking - It helps track invoices, bill payments, anything and everything A/R and A/P.
Cons
Customization -While there are a lot of built-in reports, customizing them can be very limited
Design - The design is a bit outdated
Likelihood to Recommend
We use it at a staffing agency with various departments - it's well suited for that type of work. Due to the class codes / classifications, we're able to separate the type of staffing we're providing and track things to the penny.
It's less appropriate for people who need a cloud based system. Everything needs to be stored on a physical desktop so that should be noted.
Monthy details and reporting for non profit organizations. Use reports to present to the board. Use the details to go through the day to day reconcilations needed.
Pros
Reporting
Details of Accounts
Cons
Syncing with other systems
Fund reporting
Additional dimensions
Likelihood to Recommend
Would recommend QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise. However, the less support makes it hard to recommend.

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise tracks data, very well. It's generally stable, crashes can usually be attributed to a network interruption or some other machine error. The data file updates with each transaction, so if there is a crash, it's not necessary to go back and see what transactions have to be re-entered. The reporting is quick, easy, reliable. It's keyboard friendly, so in most cases, the use of a mouse is not required.
Pros
Generally, a mouse is not needed!
Updating as each transaction is posted means, in the event of a crash, power failure, whatever; all the posted transactions are securely in the data file and can be pulled up on another computer, if the computer being used crashes.
Reporting is generally user friendly, in that one can see the desired results by setting a few parameters for the report.
Cons
They could go further with reporting, by making more options available in a given report format.
They could bring the price down.
They could make it easier to open multiple companies at once.

I've tried other accounting programs and have found none, including Quickbooks online, that even come close to the ease of use, speed of function, ease of reporting, ease of research, security and reliability of QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise. I've been using QuickBooks since the 1990s and though I'm always looking for and trying other options, I've found nothing better.
We use Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise as our accounting software. We currently have 8 companies within our product key. Quickbooks is very user friendly and easy to navigate.
Pros
the dashboard is easy to follow
the software provides warning of duplicates
Cons
the reporting within Quickbooks could be upgraded
with multiple companies it would be easier if you could toggle between companies easier and have more than one company open at a time
Likelihood to Recommend
Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise is well suited for small companies as we have grown it feels as if we are outgrowing the software. We need more detailed reporting and access to more than two companies at once. It would be easier for large companies if you could compare multiple EINs at once. Currently we have to export to excel from each EIN and manually combine the information. If you could toggle easier between companies or have more than two open this might would be easier.
We use it to keep track of many different Restricted and unrestricted grants and scholarship accounts. We also use it to track different product build out pieces.<div>We were never able to do either of these this with restrictions in other versions of QuickBooks.</div>
Pros
Multiple levels of items, with item profitability reports
The number of users
Union payroll reporting and job costing
Cons
Technical support
Customer support
Import from excel
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited for large and growing companies, will not outgrow it. <div>Less appropriate for small business owners, too grand.</div>
