Pros

“They handle the filing of 941's and any other Payroll Related taxes - and make issuing tax related documents to your employees a breeze every January!”
AH

Allison H.

Operations Manager and HR

“They gave me a year of paying one month and not paying the next. When it works, it's decent- just a payroll service.”

Leila E.

CEO

“Reporting features are limited compared to competitors.”
SA

Suman A.

Owner,Bookkeeper,Tax Preparer

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

Cons

“Their customer service agents will over-promise and tell you things that are not accurate, so then you have to deal with another agent to fix the issues.”
JQ

Jorge Q.

Owner

“Their promises to pay rewards for referrals and never follow through. When I contact anyone; I always get the answer "not my dept"”
VL

Vicki L.

Administrator

“The website for the system is a bit complicated to navigate.”
BS

Brenda S.

Case Manager

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.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

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.”
