Pros

“I like it’s financial reporting since with it we can get solid library of built in reports plus real time dashboards that makes it easy to track profit,expenses and cashflow without the need of our accountant.”
NB

Nerisha B.

Senior Bookkeeper

“The software generates reports with their famous features to trap a budget with income and expenses account, provide timely bills to customers.”
AB

Andrew B.

Managing Partner

“It's user-friendly, reliable, and makes managing accounting tasks such as invoicing, expense tracking, bank reconciliation, and financial reporting much more efficient. While there are occasional issues with customer support and pricing, it has been a valuable tool for managing our business finances.”
RW

Rachel W.

Accounting

Pros

“I enjoy Caret Legal, and how it allows us to stay connected to our caseload outside of the office or at my desk.”
BR

Brooke R.

Paralegal

“I really like the seamless workflow in CARET Legal that extends from time tracking to prebilling and then to finalized billing.”
CD

Crissy D.

Accounting Manager

“They switched to outsourced tech help happened several years ago - back then, customer service was quite helpful, and now, a simple issue can have multiple tickets, threads, and just general messy communication that seems to drag out and prolong issues.”
NM

Natalya M.

Chief Operating Officer

Cons

“My account was suspended due to an expired credit card. When I tried to log in to update my billing and proactively downgrade my subscription from their expensive tier to a $410/year plan, the system locked me out and refused to let me change plans without first clearing the balance of the old, higher rate.”

“Currently, I am unable to post a payment to a clients account that has multiple open invoices because as soon as I click in another field, it places the payment on a different invoice. ”
DE

Deborah E.

Owner, Accounting, Administration

“Limitations with check printing: can’t customize templates or account info, must buy pre-printed checks, which adds cost, risk of errors, and paper waste.”
VB

Vanessa B.

Bookkeeper

Cons

“I do not like that it does not have the ability to expand text as in Amicus and that Caret does NOT sync People with Outlook contacts and does not have the ability to mark emails sent from Caret as Important (or Confidential etc).”
DD

Donna D.

Managing Partner

“You can’t build them on your own and have to rely on their team to compile everything, which limits flexibility and can slow down access to the insights you need.”
KR

Kayla R.

Office Manager and Paralegal

“Frequent issues, calendar items disappear from calendar, emails won't save to the matters and billing issues. ”
