Office Manager

Cons

“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

“The pricing for add-ons and the massive jumps in cost between user tiers (e.g., $115 for 5 users vs. $275 for 25) is frustrating for scaling businesses. And honestly, it's super frustrating to know that they have features that I just don't know how to use, and likely need, but the free 'tutorials' are so basic—I feel like it's a terrible customer satisfaction approach to charge for classes to get the complete picture when I've been a subscriber for nearly 10 years.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Jill R.

Owner

“I've asked about getting some of those reports but customer support says they don't have it. As someone that knows the accounting side of things the product can be frustrating to use because they block certain features or accounting procedures to try and help people not mess up their books.”
BS

Brandy S.
