Pros

“Nothing, too many other options that are far easier to use and more intuitive.”

Cynthia G.

Accountant/Consultant

“Oh, you want that feature, then you need to get the xxxx module too."”

Norm H.

Director of Finance

“While it was definitely a step back from QBO, what I admired the most about Shelby is that offers so many services in one without having to bounce back and forth between various platforms.”

Shawn G.

Finance Director

Pros

“It is also flexible, with several ways to get to most features so you can choose your preferred way of working. That in the product with the addition of excellent customer service and technical support that makes you feel you are someone they really want to help rather than a 'customer at the end of a call or message', makes it unbeatable in my view.”

Richard P.

Leading Facilitator

“reporting is focused on fund accounting which is super helpful. since implementation this has saved us the cost of a bookkeeper because we can mange most things ourselves.”

David B.

Treasurer

“The Dashboard provides an easy way to keep track of money in the bank and amounts in different funds from the moment you log in. ”

Alice H.

Finance Officer

Cons

“You call to talk to an account manager and they say send an email, but no one responds.”

James M.

Treasurer

“Also, I hated the fact that when looking at a report online (like the GL which could be 100 pages), when you reach the bottom of a page, you had to scroll back to the top to go to the next page - very annoying.”

Kenton S.

Director of Operations

“Their often times where updates don’t get made properly because of the excessive amount of click throughout.”

Shawn G.

Finance Director

Cons

“instead we've wasted so much time and money processing finances manually)”
