Accounting For The Small Business

5.0 6 months ago

Pros:

Easy to use, intuitive and with great reporting tools that allow me to keep on top of my business performance. Invoicing to clients, profit and loss reports, VAT returns, keep up to date on cash flow and knowing how my business is performing every day

Cons:

I want to be able to compare this YTD performance with LYTD performance and that isn't possible to do

Moved to Xero

3.0 last month New

Comments: Poor, we moved away from it to Xero due to the issues listed in the Cons above

Pros:

It used to be a very good product but has lost it's way against Xero and Quikbooks

Cons:

Very legacy product now. The cloud version is not true cloud and has limitations. Difficult to manage product versions

Comments: I am very happy with the software. The reports I generate are next level.

Pros:

I have been using the software for 9 years and it becomes second nature to me. It is precise and easy.

Technical but Practical

4.0 4 weeks ago New

Comments: I use it everyday, and as my experience increases I am learning about more of what we can do in it.

Pros:

Fairly Easy to use. The Software obviously has a lot of capability.

Cons:

Multiple invoice payment...not sure if it can grab a selected range to pay instead of typing them in one by one.
