It replaced a spreadsheet and an old desktop package and the office runs smoother for it. Some features on the higher plan should really be standard.
Statements and reminders on autopilot each month.
Stock control is thin if you hold real inventory.
Finance Manager
Payroll for my small team is inside the same subscription, one login and one direct debit, and the pension file uploads without editing.
The mobile app covers invoicing and receipts properly.
CIS needs the Standard plan which caught us out at first.
Practice Manager, Mistletoe & Co
I run a small trade business and the evenings I used to spend on paperwork now happen inside twenty minutes with a cup of tea. That is the honest review.
The audit trail satisfied our accountant at year end without questions.
Chat support is slower than the phone, use the phone.
Finance Manager, Mistletoe
The quarterly VAT submission goes to HMRC in minutes and the checking screens have twice caught mistakes I made before they became problems.
Copilot catching duplicates and odd entries before they cost money.
Some screens feel a click longer than they need to be.
Sole trader, Wagtail
LinkedIn verifiedMigration from our previous software brought most things across cleanly. A handful of old invoices needed rekeying, after that it has been steady.
Bank reconciliation suggestions that are usually right.
None yet worth noting.
Finance Manager, Gorsebank Ltd
Two years in and the books are simply not a worry anymore. Transactions come in from the bank overnight, most match themselves, and the VAT return is checked rather than compiled.
Receipt capture from the phone with the amounts read correctly.
The step up to Standard for a couple of features I wanted stung a little.
Director
Everything tax related has been spot on for six quarters. Everyday ergonomics could be kinder, some jobs take more clicks than they should.
Mobile app that covers the essentials well.
Chat support quality depends who you get.
Owner
The chasing emails are polite, persistent and automatic, and our overdue list is half what it was this time last year.
Customer statements going out automatically each month.
Stock features are basic if you carry much inventory.
Treasurer, Quarry Lane Workshop
Onboarding was quick but a few early setup mistakes cost us cleanup later. More guardrails in the first month would have saved hours in the sixth.
VAT returns have been accurate throughout.
No time tracking without a third party tool.
Accountant, Foxglove Ltd
It works just well enough that leaving feels like effort, and just poorly enough that staying feels like settling. Two stars is that feeling in number form.
Payroll being included remains the best part of the deal.
Imports and migrations need more care than advertised.
