Switched from QuickBooks and did not look back

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.

Pros

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

Cons

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

Reconciliation stopped being a chore

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.

Pros

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

Cons

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

Reconciliation stopped being a chore

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

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

Cons

Reporting is less flexible than QuickBooks once you need something non standard.

The cleanest accounting interface I have used

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.

Pros

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

Cons

There is no phone support. Everything is email and the reply usually lands the next day.

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

Cons

Our whole team is in it, not just finance

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

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