“automated cash flow tracking”
Pros
I can monitor cash flow whenever I need to and linking my bank account and expense management tool makes most things happen automatically. The system keeps getting updates and the support team gets back to me very quickly. It is essential to my daily business!
Cons
There's very little I don't like: the handling, simplicity, account integration and planning all work for me. That says plenty about it!
