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

What does not

Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.

Used for 6 to 12 months

Bank feeds alone justify the subscription

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. 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. 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.

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. 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. 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.

Does the compliance work without being asked

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

Unlimited users on every plan, which no local competitor matches. VAT201 figures come out right without a manual working paper. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work.

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. 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

Genuinely strong multi currency handling. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost. The audit trail has answered every query our auditors raised.

What does not

Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.

Cheaper than the alternatives, and you find out why

I have spent more time working around this than working in it. Where it earns its keep is that the parts we were sold on never worked the way they were demonstrated. The gaps are the kind that create work rather than save it. It may suit a simpler business than ours.

What works

It is inexpensive.

What does not

Support responses were slow and generic. The VAT handling required constant manual correction. Bank feed failures went unresolved for weeks.
