“The monthly gateway charges are accumulated within a short period even in months when our transaction volume is low.”
JP

John P.

Transport Broker

“Because it is a separate program, it does not automatically add the patients information and does not automatically post to their account.”
AS

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.”

“It's user-friendly, reliable, and makes managing accounting tasks such as invoicing, expense tracking, bank reconciliation, and financial reporting much more efficient.

Theresa I.

Owner

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.”

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.”
