Pros

“I am appreciating the customizable workflow templates to quickly add the standard bookkeeping workflows to every client but then also add tasks for their one-off situations that don't apply to my other clients; I am absolutely loving the built in invoicing and billing platform to take care of collecting payment from my clients; the Client Portal is extremely easy for my clients to use to securely share documents and to answer questions that I have about transactions. ”

Stephen L.

Owner

“It allows us to organize client work, assign tasks, monitor deadlines, and track the status of recurring projects much more efficiently.”

Tonia B.

Managing Member

“It also allows for security for my clients as we trade sensitive information. And lastly, it gives a professional touch to my business with a client portal.”

Cherinne L.

CEO

Pros

“I am thankful for Basil coming around and offering me a cost-effective way to handle multiple clients, obtain documents, send out documents, and be able to assign tasks to clients for an affordable rate that even a startup company such as myself can afford”

Adrian B.

Owner, bookkeeper

“I would say if you aren't ready to go into a full enterprise solution like Microsoft or Atlassian, this product really gets you a lot of features for a small to midsize team (2 - 20 team members). ”

Amy P.

Bookkeeper and Project Manager

“Basil is a great hub for collaborating teams to have communication, track files, and deliverables using projects and tasks.”

Bookkeeper and Project Manager

Cons

“Currently, the requirement for annual payment, along with the lack of monthly pricing and multi-currency options, makes it a bit challenging to fully evaluate the platform before committing.”

Jessica L.

Owner-Founder

“There also is not a place to add a secondary "return" account for when we need to send refunds to clients.”

Katherine R.

Operations Manager-Accounting Assitant

“As an accounting professor with 18 years of experience, I’ve found that many clients don’t understand certain parts of the process, but they also don’t want to admit that they don’t understand.”
