“My team loves it”
Pros
Quite simple to get the hang of and the company also provided a strong learning setup. Their onboarding support helped us roll it out across our full customer base of 5,000+ people right from the start.
Cons
One missing feature so far, there doesn't appear to be an option to scan and attach an invoice that was created outside of the app.

“Keeps my finances organized”
Pros
Made my day-to-day bookkeeping a lot easier. Setup was simple and I really appreciate the visual dashboard that gives me a quick overview. Invoicing and tracking expenses feel simple and manageable especially since I'm not an accountant. I don't want all the extra complexity that comes with some other accounting tools so this hits the mark perfectly. I've been using it for years now and it's consistently worked the way I need.
Cons
Mobile app has a few feature limitations compared to the desktop version but the overall experience is still very user friendly.

“customizable invoices are great”
Pros
Its ability to help you amaze customers with customizable, professional invoices is really solid and it clearly shows the work you've done. It comes with a comprehensive double-entry accounting setup that links things like statements and estimates, expenses, time tracking and projects. It also helps organize daily back office tasks such as creating accounts, recording payment receipts, tracking incidentals, logging billable time and generating financial reports. Overall, it's a connected invoicing and accounting service that saves you time and makes you look more qualified.
Cons
On slower connections, it can take a bit longer to load and complete tasks because internet speed affects performance.

“practical accounting tools”
Pros
This app is pretty practical and gets things done efficiently. The resource library also feels stronger than what I've seen in a few other accounting apps I tried so it's easier to work with when you need support for day-to-day tasks.
Cons
Only real downside is that it requires an internet connection to use it which can be annoying if you're offline or have spotty service.

“Great ui”
Pros
Reporting is genuinely strong and the overall interface feels pretty pleasant compared to the software we've been using. It's a nice improvement on the day-to-day experience especially when digging into information.

“Customizable invoices”
Pros
Compared to the other accounting tools I've tried, it has the best-looking invoices and the most customization options. Getting everything set up felt simple and it lets me schedule automatic payments as well as recurring invoices. It also connects easily with QuickBooks and Stripe which saves a ton of time.
Cons
The bookkeeping side isn't as fully developed as some of the competitors but for a sole proprietor or a small business it still works really well.

“Good support”
Pros
For a business like mine, it brings a fresh approach to accounting and invoicing much like QuickBooks. It's very simple to set up and start using and the customer service has been consistently excellent. Overall, it's a solid tool for handling the finance side of the business.
Cons
One thing missing at the start is a set of tutorials which QuickBooks seems to provide. That would help if you're new in avoiding a few bumps right out of the gate though it hasn't been a dealbreaker since I could figure things out through trial and error.

“Amazing”
Pros
Genuinely, im in love with this app... the functions it includes are really useful for all kinds of companies. The payment setup also stands out to me and I can't say enough about it, you can pay only for the functions you actually choose, rather than getting locked into a full package you don't need.
Cons
Honestly the app feels like it has everything covered so I don't see much to complain about. The only downside I noticed is that there's a commission fee but it ends up not being a deal-breaker since you can still get all-in-one capabilities for your company.
