Good software wearing a very old coat

No mobile app worth using. Our field staff cannot do anything without calling the office, and in 2026 that feels like a choice rather than a limitation. Everything else about the product is solid.

The cloud version is remote access, not a rebuild

Consolidating four entities stopped being a spreadsheet

Our accountant asked for it by name. She works in it faster than we do and year end went from a three week ordeal to about four days. If your accountant knows Sage 50, that alone is a real argument.

Consolidating four entities stopped being a spreadsheet

Bank reconciliation is automated now and it works. That was the one thing I was worried about losing when we came off the cloud product and it turned out to be a non issue.

Serialized tracking is the reason we stay

Four companies consolidated on Premium without an export step. That alone justified the upgrade for us. I used to spend the first three days of every month in a spreadsheet stitching entities together and now I do not.

Job costing that a contractor can actually use

Sales tax across three states is tracked properly and the return prep is straightforward. I still check the numbers because I always will, but it has not been wrong yet.

Depth that QuickBooks Online simply does not have

I have used this since it was Peachtree and the ledger has never once let me down. New staff complain about the interface for a month and then stop noticing. The reliability is worth more to me than a modern design would be.

Our inventory finally reconciles

The audit trail did its job when we went through a review last year. Every change, who made it, when, and what it was before. Our auditor got what she asked for in one afternoon instead of the week it used to take.

Our inventory finally reconciles

Job costing is genuinely good. We track labor and materials against jobs as they happen and I can see margin before the job closes instead of after. For a small construction outfit that is the whole ballgame.

Capable, expensive, and stuck in 2010

The functionality is genuinely there. Finding it is the problem. Everything is two or three menus deeper than it should be and the layout has clearly grown by accretion rather than design. You do learn it, but the first six weeks are rough.

Response from the vendorDec 23, 2025

We appreciate the feedback and we are sorry about the support experience. That is not the standard we aim for. If you contact us with your case number we will review what happened and make sure it reaches the right team.

Support could not answer a basic question

Performance with five concurrent users on Premium is poor. Posting locks people out, month end is a queue, and we have had file corruption twice in three years. Both times we restored from backup and lost a day. That should not happen to accounting software in 2026.
