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

“It takes a lot of dedication and time to test and fully implement, although I think that would be true for any budgeting software since each company is unique.”
AS

Alicia S.

Senior Accountant

“Responsiveness of customer service and data analytics / coding team”
BD

Brittany D.

Sr Financial Analyst

“Limelight has automated much of our budgeting process and makes it easy to create management and board reports off this information.”
AM

Alyssa M.

Executive Analyst

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.”

Kristen D.

None

“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

“For more complex reports, the load time can be slow, especially if you have a lot of people in the system.”
SN

Sami N.

Sr. Director, Finance

“Not their fault, but the API call for transactional data has no flexibility.”
JR
