Migration was painful, the result was worth it

We moved across from a desktop package eighteen months ago and I would not go back. 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. 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. Month end close has dropped from six days to two. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly.

What does not

Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.

Our bookkeeper got two days a month back

I run the books for three related companies and this is the first system that has kept up. 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

Unlimited users on every plan, which no local competitor matches. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains. Month end close has dropped from six days to two.

What does not

The interface has not aged well.

VAT season stopped being a crisis

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

What works

Unlimited users on every plan, which no local competitor matches. The audit trail has answered every query our auditors raised. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains.

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. 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. 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.

Our bookkeeper got two days a month back

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. 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

Unlimited users on every plan, which no local competitor matches. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains.

What does not

Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.
