QuickBooks Online undergoes frequent interface and workflow changes that slow users down and require retraining even for experienced users. For small business owners and bookkeepers with deeply ingrained habits, these forced changes impose a productivity tax without commensurate benefit in the short term. Users tolerate the churn hoping long-term improvements justify the disruption.
QuickBooks Online too inflexible for complex accounting operations
