    Pros
    Easy to use and has great tools to work with. Reports are very useful and helpful to get a good overview of how business is going.
    The team at ClearBooks have been fantastic - very approachable and responsive and keen to listen to suggestions for future system developments and enhancements.
    I've been impressed by Clear Books since day one. Its easy to use for both our clients and ourselves as accountants, is full of useful time savings features and is well priced what more could need.
    Cons
    After complaining to customer service and ask for a refund of the payments taken by mistake on the 8th, still waiting for refund to be made! now been two weeks waiting for a refund.
    In regards to the overall system, I do not have any particular dislikes but more of a difficulty understanding how to apply any refunds and credits within the system.
    Only downside I came across is that they do not offer an American package for my new business in Colorado.
