Our bookkeeper got two days a month back

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. 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. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work.

What does not

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

Finally a ledger our accountant does not complain about

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. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

What works

Over a thousand connected applications. The audit trail has answered every query our auditors raised. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains.

Reconciliation went from a week to an afternoon

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. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

What works

Over a thousand connected applications. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work.

What does not

The interface has not aged well.

After two years I can say the reconciliation time saving is real and it is significant. 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. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works

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

What does not

Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.

Migration was painful, the result was worth it

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. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works

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

What does not

Support response times slow noticeably at month end.
