MoneyMinder

Integration rating: 4.5 (2)

“Moneyminder keeps track of everything and having this integration is super important. I wish there were even more efficiencies to import transactions without a clearing account which adds an extra step.”

“Since our PTA is large with several officers and financial transparency we need a product that could integrate with both our banking and accounting software.”
