Wave Accounting vs Kashoo Comparison

Like other online accounting software packages, Kashoo offers receipt and transaction matching as well as automatic reconciliation. Their invoicing and general ledger is well done and works well. Same as the other packages, Kashoo is available as an online accounting package only - which is great - allows for anytime, anywhere working.

Two major items missing are accounts payable (I know Kashoo will say very small businesses use a debit card, credit card or writes a manual check), however having an AP system to collect your vendor bills is kind of a no-brainer. The other item is a lack of being able to do estimates - this is critical as small service businesses propose jobs all the time and if your accounting package did estimates, all you would need to do is finalize a few adds and subtractions from you customer, click "turn into an invoice" and email to your customer - takes no time at all and everything is in one place - quick and easy. And there is no budget feature (which is probably minor to many small businesses).

Hey Craig! Thanks so much for taking the time to submit your review for TrulySmall Accounting! We wanted to let you know that we've since added AP to our software, and we're sorry your experience was less than optimal. We are still working on our product roadmap so hopefully, we can tackle some of your other issues in the future. Really appreciate your feedback!

ease of use, inclusion of project accounting, simple interface

App didn’t have project accounting, just online version

Pricing was what attracted my company to Kashoo Online Accounting.

It never properly reconciled with my bank and there is no subscription billing option.

It is accounting software that does exactly what the intent is, with some other added features like invoicing.

The UI is, in my opinion, one of the ugliest UIs I've ever seen. It makes me not even want to use it.

it is very inexpensive and it takes care of everything that I need to be done from accounting software.

It can be difficult to download transactions so they can be accounted for in the business. However, it is still very efficient.

Simple able to log in anywhere relatively inexpensive

Buggy Inventory feature stinks, keeps getting corrupted, losing the inventory onhand Not very robust poor manual adjustment tools Poor customer billing/no statement tools

The UX/UI is easy to use, only took a hour to get familiar & set up everything. I needed a accounting software.

The support is very delayed. Sometimes would take a couple of weeks for they to answer a problem i would be having. They did state they would get back with me.

I like their online tutorials. I have zero accounting experience, but Kashoo's tutorials have helped us to understand what and how we need to track our business finances. I also really like how detailed it it once you get the hand of how to use it. I can see at a glance how we are doing financially.

There is a pretty steep learning curve, especially if you don't have any accounting experience at all. I found it to be very, very confusing. The tutorials helped, for sure, but there was still a lot of back and forth with customer service who seemed to get annoyed with all our questions, especially since we have NO accounting experience.

- Everything was so simple to set up - had all my banks, which is rare as I'm Canadian and often accounting software has either only US banks or a tough process to get my banks to integrate - Customer service experience has been amazing!

It's not as aesthetically pleasing as some of the others. That's it so far.

Tax Management, Real-Time Bank Feed, Bank reconciliation, and Project Budgeting are just some of my favorite features, web and mobile apps are a bonus but the cherry on top for me is that they support the Spanish language as well. Not to mention the super fast support.

Not many cons but I am just hoping for more integrations. Specifically invoicing software like Fiskl!

The support is really good. The platform design is clean and the most important features are there to facilitate your daily accounting.

Some features I liked from the software I was using before are currently missing in Kashoo. You have to take the time to play with the platform to get comfortable. It's not the most easy friendly software at first but you get used to it.

Here's the thing - I HATE accounting & bookkeeping. So I want to spend the least amount of time doing it. And, I want to spend even less time doing taxes. Several years ago, I researched all of the solutions out there, yeah QB too... but I dreaded a steep learning curve and wanted something accurate - and portable. Kashoo has the app for my phone & tablet so I can whip out an invoice real quick...

There's really not a lot to dislike about the software, and the support staff is great. If I could change anything, I'd have them move their headquarters from Canada to the U.S. ;)

It was designed by accountants for accountants.

There are many workarounds to learn. For example when you are doing multiple month bank reconciliations you must get out of reconciliation and back in to have all factors correct. Also, the system could have a more modern look and feel.

Very Easy to use. Any body will be able to usr program. Reconciling bank statements can be temperamental, very slow. There are much better programs around. No need to waste time on this program.

I have used Kashoo cloud accounting for 6+ years. The Data bank feeds have faulted on many occasions, causing duplicate bank entries, upto four entries for one transaction. This is extremely annoying and very time consuming, as each duplicate has to be removed one at a time. I spoke with the Kashoo team, their support is rubbish and incapable of fixing the problem, nor could they explain the reason why this has occurred. It would be bad enough for this fault to occur a one off. Unfortunately, this has happened four times in the last six years. I am too Happy to say, Goodbye Kashoo! Zoho is working much better, no duplicates and a much faster program.

Management of project expenses, payroll expenses & cashflow management are so simple to use with Kashoo.

Using invoicing system and tax implementation for countries outside US is not that friendly.

Very easy to use, most of the interface is self explanatory and set up very well. Does your accounting neatly. Everything can be exported as PDF

Subscription Based - I'm not a fan of it, but at least it isn't super expensive. May not have enough advanced features for some companies and individuals (never was a problem for me though)

With Kashoo, business owners can handle accounting tasks on their own. This is particularly useful for small businesses where the budget doesn´t allow an expensive professional. You can also give access to multiple users to view and edit information.

Would be nice to have the possibility for more configuration of the invoices.

This is a very easy to use, not so complicated, simplified Billing & Accounting system. Adopting to this software is very easy and it gives you plethora of integration options.

When the user numbers increase, this software may get a bit costly for you and lags a bit when concurrent users are using this application.

Great integration with Stripe conveniently invoice clients directly from the software

Limited selection of invoice templates that are horrible looking and not easily branded with your company logos .The account codes in the accounting ledger have to be changed manually if you want to align with your countries standardization.

- Ease of use - Accessibility across different platforms - Realtime save and backup - Well designed interface - Fully customizable invoices and reports - Full-featured iOS app for iPad.

- Lack of a generic (non-US) payroll/HR component - Useless android app!
