Unlimited users changed the maths for us

The reconciliation screen is the best thing about it. Statement on the left, your records on the right, match and move. I trained a new hire on it in about twenty minutes with no manual.

Pros

The reconciliation screen is the clearest in this category. New staff learn it in a day.

Cons

Payroll is not built in. In the US it hands off to Gusto, so you run two subscriptions.

No phone support when it actually mattered

We had a reconciliation problem three days before a filing deadline and there is no number to call. Email support answered the next morning, politely, and did not solve it. For a finance system, no phone line is a real gap.

Pros

The app marketplace is large and the integrations we use are actively maintained.

Cons

Response from the vendorDec 26, 2025

Thanks for taking the time to write this up. Your point about reporting flexibility is fair and it is an active area of work for us. If you email support and mention this review we can show you a workaround for the reports you named.

The cleanest accounting interface I have used

Pros

Cons

US market share is small enough that some accountants charge extra to work in it.

The cleanest accounting interface I have used

Five people touch our books and every one of them has a login at no extra cost. Under our old system that was three paid seats and a shared password. That alone made the switch worth it, and the software turned out to be better too.

Pros

Unlimited users on every plan. Our whole team has access without a per seat bill.

Cons

US sales tax runs through Avalara rather than natively, which is more setup up front.

Reporting hits a ceiling

We had a reconciliation problem three days before a filing deadline and there is no number to call. Email support answered the next morning, politely, and did not solve it. For a finance system, no phone line is a real gap.

Pros

Inventory, projects and expense claims are included rather than upsold.

Cons

US market share is small enough that some accountants charge extra to work in it.

Coming from a cluttered competitor, the clarity is a relief. Everything is where you would guess it is. Our bookkeeper was skeptical about the change and is now the loudest advocate for it.

The audit trail is thorough. Every change is attributed and timestamped, which made our first real audit far less painful than I had braced for.

Pros

GST and HST handling is native and CRA ready for our Canadian entity.

GST and HST handling is exactly right for us in Ontario. Returns are prepared correctly and filing to CRA is not a fight anymore.

Pros

GST and HST handling is native and CRA ready for our Canadian entity.

Cons

The Early plan's 20 invoice cap is too low to be useful for most businesses.
