The templates have been essential in setting up or workflow. > > **Cons**: I'd like better options for payroll progress billing > > I think it's an excellent product. Always developing \& moving forward, making management of work a much easier task. ----- ### "Karbon Rocks\! Has been a gamechanger for our workflow and team visibility" — 5.0/5 > **Ryan** | *1 March 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Work and Task visibility and collaboration (within team and with clients). Karbon are also proactive with research and development and are always improving things which is great > > **Cons**: Honestly there's nothing that stands out to me right now, I can't imagine running my practice without it. > > We have been using Karbon since 2017 and it's the one tool we can not do without - we love it\! It keeps our team aligned, our jobs on track and our team communication on work and with clients in one place. As we've grown it's become even more important as the visibility across work, deadlines and client interactions are super important and are available at the touch of a button. Karbon really transformed the way we operated all those years ago and they continue to invest in their product to make sure we stay ahead of the game. The Karbon crew are absolute legends and dedicated to helping you succeed too, support is amazing. They genuinely care about delivering a world class product. If you are serious about growth and running your practice efficiently Karbon is a must have in my view - can't recommended it highly enough\! ----- ### "Karbon was the missing puzzle piece\!" — 5.0/5 > **Amanda** | *10 November 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Karbon was the missing puzzle piece in our tech stack. We have now been using Karbon for one year and it has been a game changer for our firm. It has given us the visibility we needed in our workflow management, budget management, time tracking, and reporting. We would be lost without Karbon\! > > **Cons**: none- I can't think of anything at this point. > > We are so pleased with the Karbon software and with the Karbon vision and leadership. We were fortunate to attend their 2025 Karbon Next conference and we are confident that the right leaders are in place to take Karbon to the next level in tech and AI. We are very satisfied with the software and the future of Karbon\! ----- ### "Karbon - Unfortunately only if you have a lot of ......." — 1.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *22 May 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Looks like a good application, but let down by the tedious signup process, and have to wait long for the demo meetings? Problems even before getting started and did not get to experience the application. > > **Cons**: 1. Must have a dedicated Gmail or Microsoft account (not alias and not been told upfront) 2. Must have a Demo meeting. No easy sign up process and start using. You have to wait 1 - 2 weeks for a meeting before you can sign up. 3. Must pay before even testing the system. 4. Extremely poorly trained consultants - cannot even assist with the basic problem soving. 5. Staff not reading email correctly and not responding to all queries. > > My overall experience was exited at first at demo. A bit annoyed that there was no self-help signup and had to wait a week for a meeting. Then after signing up and paying upfront before using the cons started coming out of the woodworks. Consultant not reading emails properly and responding to 1 out of the 4 queries. Extremely poorly trained staff and needed to create a ticket for such changing an email address. The requirement that you must have a Gmail or Microsoft account. Very unprofessional to speaking to your clients from a Gmail account instead of your proper work email. Cannot even get signed up after sending links as consultant do not understand that the email is linked to the signup, and she cannot change the invite linked, even after I explain to them. Instead, they refer you to self-help articles, like you are moron and do not know the basics. Really time consuming and tiring experience. As an accounting firm with limited time on our hands and is looking for a management solution, keep on looking as Karbon is not for you then. ----- ### "Essential for Keeping Our Client Work Organised and Efficient" — 5.0/5 > **Larisa** | *9 February 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: We love the task and workflow management—it keeps all our client tasks well organised. Having a dedicated customer support person is also extremely helpful. > > **Cons**: There are only minor issues, which are gradually resolved as the product is regularly reviewed and updated. > > We have used Karbon for many years, and it continues to be an invaluable asset that greatly supports our business. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/156181/karbon?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/156181/karbon) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
