“Fast imports and matching”
Pros
Pulling in information from bookkeeping programs is very fast. The matching step is quick. Creating the report file for corporate taxes is efficient which improves both the speed and quality of the return.
Cons
Switching between different client files could be smoother. To look at last year's file or a different client, you have to close the current one which slows you down.

“Simpler than alternatives”
Pros
Every part of Countable feels simpler than other programs I've tested. I can connect files, add notes and tweak a set of financials for presentation in just a few clicks. Managing the final look is easier for me. Switching between different client companies is also very fast.
Cons
It's still a fairly new program so there are small features that aren't finished yet. For example a standard library of financial statement footnotes isn't ready but I know the team is building it. Any small ideas or adjustments that accountants suggest to improve the system are being considered and they're trying to include as many as they can.

“smooth quickbooks connection”
Pros
The smooth move from the working trial balance to a polished set of financials. I love that it connects directly with my Quickbooks.
Cons
Nothing specific. I know there are a few small glitches and hiccups but that's expected with new software. I'd love to be able to use this for my audit work in the future.

“Convenient and thorough”
Pros
Really simple to use and helps me stay in line with accounting standards. I only used it for a notice to reader engagement but found it thorough and easy to handle.
Cons
There wasn't anything I disliked. I would suggest it to anyone needing a solution for year-end work.

“it's not yet a full replacement for competitors”
Pros
It really speeds up putting together standard compilation work while making sure we follow professional guidelines. Having the latest document formats helps us stay up-to-date with rules that are always changing.
Cons
Since it's a newer platform it doesn't yet have all the same capabilities as some established competitors so it can't fully replace them. It will need a few more months of development to reach that level. It might be best suited for firms that want to send out the preparation of reports (or parts of them).

“online and logical”
Pros
It's online-based, very logical and simple to use and clearly well-designed. It could take the place of several other tools and free up a lot of hours letting us offer clients more valuable work by automating routine tasks.
Cons
A few tools are still in the works but I'm fully confident they'll be added.
