Pros

“Its easy-to-use interface, cloud accessibility, and helpful automation features save a lot of time and simplify day-to-day bookkeeping tasks. While there are a few areas that could be improved, Xero has been a reliable and valuable tool for managing business finances.”
RR

Rebecca R.

Production manager

“My overall experience is that the cloud-based system allows users to access their financial information from anywhere, and its integration with many third-party apps makes workflow management much more efficient for reporting and any other tasks.”
NK

Navpreet K.

Manager and CPA

“simplifies daily bookkeeping with intuitive features, real-time bank feeds, and seamless third-party integrations.”
CG

Cecilia G.

Administration

Pros

“Would prefer to see Bills and Income separated out in the Tabs section, so it wouldn't take two clicks to find each. And when reconciling the account, it would be better to go to check register to add something without having to go back through the initial screen of entering the balance, etc.”
LL

LaDonna L.

Receptionist

“The ability of the software to connect and track individual stock prices with out having all your personal information in the cloud.”
RH

Rod H.

Civil Engineer III

“My overall experience with Quicken was while doing accounts payable and receivable which I found to be working very well.”
SK

Sheila K.

Admin

Cons

“There can also be occasional syncing delays with bank feeds, and certain customization options for reports and invoices feel somewhat limited compared to other accounting software.”
RR

Rebecca R.

Production manager

“Additionally, certain features like multi-currency handling or more advanced integrations, are only available in higher-tier plans, which can make it less cost-effective for growing businesses.”

Rashi B.

Treasury Accountant

“Technically, I understand they can point to the terms of service. But from a business perspective, I genuinely do not understand burning a potential long-term customer relationship over roughly $150 on an inactive account instead of showing some flexibility or goodwill.”
AB

Andrew B.

Owner

Cons

“you can only access it online so if you are not connected, it can slow down the process of making payments”

Patricia M.

Designer

“I did not like how the naming of charges in my bank account and cards did not line up very cleanly with the Quicken import data. ”
DD

Dustin D.

President

“Some useful features are tied to certain payment tiers, which can be frustrating if I'd like them but not use them often enough to make it worth paying for. ”
