    Chose BILL
    I was not involved in the selection process but we implemented Bill.com when the business started in 2013, so we have used it from the beginning. We use QuickBooks Online for our management company bookkeeping but we choose to process payments through Bill.com because it's more …

    Chose BILL
    I know that QuickBooks Online has the option to directly pay vendors through its software, but I have found that using Bill.com is the best for paying your bills. The biggest difference is Bill.com has the approval requirement before any bill can be paid and you can require …

    Chose BILL
    top solution out there to simplify accounting and finance tracking. Only negative note: they started charging for every single client ACH payment done through Quickbooks. Originally this feature was free, but then it grew to up to $10 per transaction. Reason for which we had to …

    In my last job, we used Clients and Profits (which isn't listed as a product). We switched from it to NetSuite and I believe used Epay to print checks from CSV import files generated from NetSuite. Bill.com seems way easier and streamlined.

    Chose BILL
    Bill.com was something my employer uses in the US. But it certainly doesn't work here in Canada [in my experience]. Paypal is easy to retrieve payments from and Quickbooks is almost seamless. The sign-in process through the Bill.com App is ridiculous [in my opinion] and …

    It's more flexible and affordable than Expensify and QB online. It allows a more novice user to understand and manage the backend of the platform. It costs less for growing companies since you don't have to sign a long contract. Its similar in flexibility of payments to PayPal …

    Bill.com is the only one that does both receivables and payables in one platform. Bill.com is more for that than it is for document management.

    Chose BILL
    I have not come across another solution as complete as Bill.com. I have looked at Concur, Quickbooks bill payments, bank payment systems and even more advanced systems like Intacct or Oracle, but none of then provides the features and benefits of Bill.com.

    Bill.com had just been implemented when I joined the company where I first used it. I never saw a need to look at anything else. In my current role, I turned to Bill.com again and had it up and running within a few hours.

    Currently using Blackbaud Financial Edge (we're a nonprofit) and I miss the ease and flexibility of QuickBooks Online. I've considered switching (downgrading?) to QBO, although we have needs that are unique to nonprofits. Not sure QBO could handle fund accounting very well.

    QuickBooks is better than most software I have used. It gives more detailed reports for our company to make financial decisions.

    Chose QuickBooks Online
    Other software packages such as NetSuite and Intacct I used in the past are more robust in terms of supporting a bigger organization, but at my current company we selected QuickBooks Online as our ERP because it is a perfect fit for the size of the company and our operations as …

    QBO is much more robust than the other free programs. There is so much more you can do with it compared to the other programs. I had zero accounting experience and I'd say the other programs were a bit easier to learn, but overall QuickBooks has more features and capabilities …

    Chose QuickBooks Online
    We liked the fresh approach and the clean aesthetics of Wave, Xero and ZipBooks. However they all lacked the ability to customize a invoice template, which is sad to say, but that was the #1 feature for us, since we had existing customers that we didn't want to disrupt; i.e., …

    Quickbooks Online is just more refined. We use Bill.com as well, and the two integrate seamlessly. We chose QuickBooks Online because of the number of clients that are already familiar with the product, the number of clients likely to move in the direction of QuickBooks Online …
