Bank feeds alone justify the subscription

I run the books for three related companies and this is the first system that has kept up. Genuinely strong multi currency handling. 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

Over a thousand connected applications. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work.

What does not

Reporting beyond the standard pack still ends up in a spreadsheet.

Migration was painful, the result was worth it

Our practice put four clients on this before we moved our own business across. Genuinely strong multi currency handling. 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. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

The best bank reconciliation experience in the category. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work.

What does not

The interface has not aged well.

Solid, boring, and that is exactly what I wanted

We moved across from a desktop package eighteen months ago and I would not go back. Genuinely strong multi currency handling. 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. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Over a thousand connected applications. The audit trail has answered every query our auditors raised. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly.

What does not

Support response times slow noticeably at month end.

Finally a ledger our accountant does not complain about

We moved across from a desktop package eighteen months ago and I would not go back. Genuinely strong multi currency handling. 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

Genuinely strong multi currency handling. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost. VAT201 figures come out right without a manual working paper.

What does not

Support response times slow noticeably at month end.

Used for 2 to 5 years

Does the compliance work without being asked

I run the books for three related companies and this is the first system that has kept up. Unlimited users on every plan, which no local competitor matches.

Reconciliation went from a week to an afternoon

Our practice put four clients on this before we moved our own business across. The best bank reconciliation experience in the category. 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 bank reconciliation experience in the category. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains. VAT201 figures come out right without a manual working paper.

What does not

Reporting beyond the standard pack still ends up in a spreadsheet.

We moved across from a desktop package eighteen months ago and I would not go back. Genuinely strong multi currency handling. 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. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

What works

Genuinely strong multi currency handling. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains. Month end close has dropped from six days to two.
