Payroll included tipped it for us

Most businesses need to start on Grow, not the headline entry plan, and reporting is clean but less customisable than I expected. Bank reconciliation is the fastest I have used, a month clears in minutes, which is about the only positive.

Pros

Bank reconciliation is the fastest I have used, a month clears in minutes.

Cons

Most businesses need to start on Grow, not the headline entry plan.

Fast month end, every time

Bank reconciliation is the fastest I have used, a month clears in minutes. That said, the Ignite tier is far too tight, twenty invoices a month is nothing and most businesses need to start on Grow, not the headline entry plan.

Pros

Bank reconciliation is the fastest I have used, a month clears in minutes.

Cons

The Ignite tier is far too tight, twenty invoices a month is nothing.

Start on Grow, not Ignite

Our accountant knows it inside out so support is never a problem. The app marketplace connected our stock system in an afternoon.

Pros

Reporting is clean but less customisable than I expected.

The interface is genuinely pleasant, which sounds minor until you use it daily. Only real gripe is that reporting is clean but less customisable than I expected.

The nicest accounting software to use

Payroll is included from the Grow plan so we dropped a second subscription, and CIS calculations for subcontractors are handled properly. The Ignite tier is far too tight, twenty invoices a month is nothing, but we live with it.

Pros

Cons

The Ignite tier is far too tight, twenty invoices a month is nothing.

Fast month end, every time

Payroll is included from the Grow plan so we dropped a second subscription. That said, inventory is basic, we run a separate app for real stock control and reporting is clean but less customisable than I expected.

Inventory is basic, we run a separate app for real stock control.

Start on Grow, not Ignite

Unlimited users means the whole team can be in the books without a fee. Only real gripe is that the fixed asset register is functional rather than good.

Start on Grow, not Ignite

Most businesses need to start on Grow, not the headline entry plan, and the introductory discount ends and the standard price is a jump. CIS calculations for subcontractors are handled properly, which is about the only positive.

Pros

CIS calculations for subcontractors are handled properly.

Cons

Most businesses need to start on Grow, not the headline entry plan.
