I was using Quickbooks Self Employed and must recommend to stay far away. Besides there being no way to migrate to the other Quickbooks services, the xls report export feature was broken for me and gave me incorrect amounts. After some time explaining the situation to a support person I was told the bug was an ongoing issue with some user accounts, and the support person had to manually calculate and edit cells in the xls document. It blows my mind that such an important feature can be so broken. There was no forthcoming information about the bug and I had no other way to send a report to my accountant.

I don't hate Quickbooks; I love it. But I hate Intuit.

I've been using QB both personally and professionally for over 15 years, it has just about every feature a small to medium sized business could want, and it's a default in the sense that you can go to just about any tax professional who prepares business tax returns and they will have no problem using your QB data, often by working with a copy of your actual company file, and providing year-end journal entries for you to reflect various tax adjustments.

The current problem is that Intuit is forcing everyone to subscription-only, even for the desktop product, and they've nearly doubled the annual license fee, mostly to try to force people to QB Online.
