## Reviews

### "Decent but pricing isn't great, steep learning curve for beginners" — 4.0/5

> **Andrew** | *20 May 2026* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Customer support is really helpful and it is so easy to navigate once you've got to grips with it. Making tax digital has been made really easy
> 
> **Cons**: It's a steep learning curve for someone who hasn't kept their own books before. It's not a simple case of just uploading receipts, you have to manually edit a lot of expenses
> 
> It's good, I think the least favourable aspect of my experience is the price - it's not very straightforward and it's easy to overspend for what you need. But the most basic level, which is what I needed, felt overpriced and I felt almost conned into buying the next level up just for value for money but then, when you realise you're not using everything you're paying for, you bitterly drop back down to the lower price tier.

### "Pros and cons" — 3.0/5

> **Arianna** | *8 January 2026* | Performing Arts | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Good initial pricing, easy to set up. Straightforward everyday handling and simple, complete dashboard.
> 
> **Cons**: The self-employed version is very limited as for features and customisation. Poor sync functionality
> 
> Overall, the app is fairly good value for money, particularly during the initial period. Features for the self-employed version are however limited, lacking customisation (e.g. expense categories etc) and poorly adaptable to different kinds of businesses. The sync functionality with bank is very disappointing. There is no way to reliably set up what is relevant and how to record different suppliers, no chance to have categories remembered, even when defining defaults. Not very satisfied.

### "Easy to use, covers everything needed for a small business" — 5.0/5

> **Andrew** | *7 January 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's great value for money for our sized small business. Allows lots of easy quick wins and views of business position. This is especially true with regards to invoicing and receiving payments.
> 
> **Cons**: There haven't been many however they have just changed the dashboard which was slightly confusing for a short while as we learned to navigate this
> 
> We have used this for over 5 years compared to other products and haven't had more than two issues with it so great for speeding up working practices

### "Quickbooks Online review" — 3.0/5

> **John** | *22 July 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is relatively simple to use, and offers good value for money in comparison to the larger systems and software available.
> 
> **Cons**: It has limited usability, and not as many features as the full Quickbooks, or indeed some of the more established offerings. Importing for example, is not available on the online version
> 
> I use this for a small building company, and must say the customer support is relatively good and as long as you stay on top of everything and enter it correctly then this software is more than sufficient for any smaller businesses.

### "Quick books online review" — 4.0/5

> **Lyn** | *11 April 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Quickbooks online is an easy to use online edition of the well developed quick books.&#10;&#10;The system makes it easy to complete year end reporting.
> 
> **Cons**: My least favourite thing about Quickbooks online is the reduced capabilities in comparison to the desktop edition.
> 
> Overall QuickBooks online is an easy to use and effective accounting tool.&#10;&#10;The online edition is not as effective as the desktop model but is still good.
