Solid, boring, and that is exactly what I wanted

After two years I can say the reconciliation time saving is real and it is significant. Large global template and app ecosystem. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

What works

The best mobile receipt capture in the category. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains.

What does not

Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.

Used for 1 to 2 years

Reconciliation went from a week to an afternoon

I run the books for three related companies and this is the first system that has kept up. Large global template and app ecosystem. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

What works

Multi currency from the middle tier. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains. The audit trail has answered every query our auditors raised.

What does not

The interface has not aged well.

Used for less than 6 months

Bank feeds alone justify the subscription

We moved across from a desktop package eighteen months ago and I would not go back. Large global template and app ecosystem. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

What works

Reporting and budgeting well ahead of its price point. The audit trail has answered every query our auditors raised. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains.

What does not

The interface has not aged well.

Migration was painful, the result was worth it

We moved across from a desktop package eighteen months ago and I would not go back. Reporting and budgeting well ahead of its price point. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

What works

Multi currency from the middle tier. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work. VAT201 figures come out right without a manual working paper.

What does not

The interface has not aged well.

Works well once you accept its limits

It does what we need and I have no strong feelings about it either way. Large global template and app ecosystem. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. Good value, with some real rough edges.

What works

Reporting and budgeting well ahead of its price point. The core ledger is reliable.

What does not

There is no direct submission to eFiling, so the return is captured by hand. The report customisation is limited.

Migration was painful, the result was worth it

We moved across from a desktop package eighteen months ago and I would not go back. Reporting and budgeting well ahead of its price point. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

What works

Reporting and budgeting well ahead of its price point. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains. Month end close has dropped from six days to two.

The interface has not aged well.

Good ledger, disappointing reporting

It does what we need and I have no strong feelings about it either way. Large global template and app ecosystem. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. Fine for our needs. Test it properly against your own requirements.

What works

Reporting and budgeting well ahead of its price point. The core ledger is reliable.

What does not

Inventory cannot handle multiple warehouses. Getting a person on the phone is difficult.

Response from the vendor26 Apr 2026

Thank you for the detailed feedback. Our product team has logged the reporting limitations you describe and improvements are on the roadmap for this year. Please contact our support team so we can look at your specific configuration.

Does the job, will not delight you

It does what we need and I have no strong feelings about it either way. Multi currency from the middle tier. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. It is a reasonable choice, provided you know what it does not do.

What works

The best mobile receipt capture in the category. The mobile app is useful for approving payments.

What does not

Bank feeds drop and need reauthorising more often than they should. The report customisation is limited.
