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.

Keeps us compliant without fuss

Reports cover what a small business needs. When the accountant wanted something unusual we exported and she built it herself without complaint.

Set up on Saturday, invoicing on Monday

The dashboard showing what we are owed, what we owe and the VAT building up has changed how I run the week. No more surprises at quarter end.

Set up on Saturday, invoicing on Monday

Copilot flagged a supplier invoice that had been keyed twice before payment went out. It has paid for itself several times over on that alone.

Fine for the basics, stretched beyond

A year in, my colleague loves it and I tolerate it, which averages to three stars. The difference is she does the simple tasks and I do the fiddly ones.

The mobile app pulls its weight

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.

Switched from a rival and no regrets

The price after the offer period is still less than one hour of my accountant time each month. The value argument is not close.

Strong core, average extras

Copilot and the newer additions are nice to have though not why we stay. We stay because the VAT return has never once been wrong.
