Works well once set up properly

Migration from our previous software brought most things across cleanly. A handful of old invoices needed rekeying, after that it has been steady.

Switched from a rival and no regrets

I tried three of the big name products on trials and this was the one where I could find everything without watching tutorials.

Recommend for VAT registered businesses

It does the boring things brilliantly and the clever things adequately. For a business our size that is the right way round.

The dashboard tells me the truth daily

We moved off spreadsheets when the second employee started and I wish we had done it two years earlier. Everything since has been quicker and more accurate.

Copilot catching duplicates and odd entries before they cost money.

Right choice for our trades business

Good product overall. The bank matching is the highlight, the reporting is fine, and support has been decent the twice we needed them.

My accountant approves, which says plenty

The measure for me is the accountant bill. It has dropped every year since we started keeping proper records in here because they spend their hours advising instead of tidying.

Cash flow view ahead of the month has stopped two overdraft moments this year because we saw them coming three weeks out.

We invoice from the app at the customer door and the professionalism has been commented on more than once. Small thing, real difference.

Adequate is the honest word

Support has been the weak link for us, one excellent phone call and three chat sessions that went in circles. The software itself is steady.
