Solid, boring, and that is exactly what I wanted

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

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

Support response times slow noticeably at month end.

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. 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

Unlimited users on every plan, which no local competitor matches. 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.

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. 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. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Unlimited users on every plan, which no local competitor matches. VAT201 figures come out right without a manual working paper. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost.

What does not

The interface has not aged well.

Cheaper than the alternatives, and you find out why

I have spent more time working around this than working in it. For context, 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. Bank feed failures went unresolved for weeks. Migration lost historical detail we needed for the audit.

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

What does not

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

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. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Does the compliance work without being asked

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. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

What works

Over a thousand connected applications. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost. Month end close has dropped from six days to two.
