Does the compliance work without being asked

After two years I can say the reconciliation time saving is real and it is significant. Over a thousand connected applications. 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

The best bank reconciliation experience in the category. Month end close has dropped from six days to two. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost.

What does not

Support response times slow noticeably at month end.

Used for 1 to 2 years

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. Unlimited users on every plan, which no local competitor matches. 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. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

What works

Over a thousand connected applications. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost.

What does not

Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.

Used for more than 5 years

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. Over a thousand connected applications. 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. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works

Genuinely strong multi currency handling. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work. VAT201 figures come out right without a manual working paper.

What does not

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

Used for 2 to 5 years

VAT season stopped being a crisis

We moved across from a desktop package eighteen months ago and I would not go back. Over a thousand connected applications. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work.

What works

Over a thousand connected applications. The audit trail has answered every query our auditors raised. VAT201 figures come out right without a manual working paper.
