Using a separate AI, you can write scripts to bulk update invoices (which wouldn't be a problem if you could bulk update every line). > > **Cons**: Honestly there's a lot (39 reason to be exact, but I can't list them all). The bulk update tool is really frustrating - you can only do 25 items at a time, and it doesn't even show you the transaction details, just the gross value so you end up having a separate spreadsheet open just to check what you're moving which is difficult. Not only that but some things can't be bulk updated, some you have to do manually (like project\!) Invoice numbers sort as text not numbers too, so your list goes 1, 10, 2, 21, 3 instead of actual order, which sounds minor but is so annoying when you're trying to find something. Reporting is another headache. I have already set up a power query excel sheet that reformats the detailed general ledger they give you, because numbers come out as text. VAT amounts and codes don't show up on transaction reports, and there's no report that just shows sales line items with the nominal, VAT, project and description all together - feels like such a basic thing to be missing. There is Zoho Analytics that might be able to combine all our company's general ledgers but it's not user friendly at all, still not managed to work it out 7 months in. If you want a project cost breakdown for all projects, it isn't possible, you have to run the cost summary and then click into each project separately (as we want to see materials and installs split out) - check out what Xero's does as an example. I don't know why it can't just run a general ledger for all unique lines with all possible fields. You will find on invoice, bills etc lists some fields you can't have shown on the main page, and some fields can't be shown on reports when theres absolutely no reason why it can't, so you end up creating custom fields just to be able to show the field. It also doesn't handle some UK accounting stuff the way it should. Vendor (aka Supplier - another point is everything is American\!) payments sometimes post to prepaid expenses instead of trade creditors, and if you post multiple lines to the same nominal in a journal it groups them into one line on reports instead of keeping them separate, so you lose visibility of what's actually happened. Then there's just loads of small annoying things - you can't apply a credit to an invoice in a locked period even though it doesn't touch any actual transactions, you can't relink a bank payment to a different invoice once it's reconciled, and project search only works if you type the name exactly right in the right order. There's no ability to bypass lock period say if you are in a reviewer position so have to unlock it for everything\! Oh and smart matching of bank items, is non existent except maybe where a payment matches an invoice exactly - you can't tick multiple at once and it doesn't learn from you put things or take an educated guess. > > We tried it out for this year, as we were already paying for Zoho One but already 6 months in I can't wait to move sideways to a different system within the same cost bracket. Its made by people that have not had to use it as an accounts manager/financial controller, or worked in accounts practice. If the developers just tried out Xero and Quickbooks for a bit they would instantly see where theirs lack, but seeing comments in the forum some improvements just get ignored or shut down. ----- ### "Zoho Books is a great all-round accounting solution" — 4.0/5 > **Pupp** | *29 July 2026* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: As with all Zoho products, the user interface is straightforward enough to do basic accounting and tracking without needing any specialised knowledge. > > **Cons**: Took a little while to understand the various capabilities of Zoho Books but after a little bit of time exploring it was clear enough. > > Overall I found Zoho Books to be a good option, it’s good value for all of the capabilities it has. I am a UK based business owner and I eventually opted to switch for something which had smoother integrations with some of the other services and softwares that my business uses. ----- ### "Reliable and User-Friendly Accounting Software" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *28 July 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Zoho Books is easy to use and offers a clean, intuitive interface that makes accounting tasks straightforward. It simplifies invoicing, expense tracking, bank reconciliation, and financial reporting in one place. The automation features save time, and the integration with other Zoho applications makes it an excellent choice for small and growing businesses. > > **Cons**: Some advanced accounting and customization features require time to learn, especially for new users. Certain reports and integrations could offer more flexibility, and customer support response times may occasionally be slower during busy periods. However, these issues do not significantly affect the overall experience. > > My overall experience with Zoho Books has been very positive. It has helped simplify day-to-day accounting tasks while improving financial organization and accuracy. The software is reliable, user-friendly, and suitable for businesses looking for an affordable cloud-based accounting solution. The regular updates and automation features make managing finances much more efficient, and I would recommend it to other small and medium-sized businesses. ----- ### "Software that does what it says and runs rather well" — 4.0/5 > **Luke** | *9 June 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was really useful to be able to link my bank account to the software so that I didn't need to import all of my ingoing/outgoing transactions manually. It also gives a good overview of your profits/expenses/gross profit. > > **Cons**: It was a bit more complicated to navigate than Quickbooks and automating recurring invoices felt a bit fiddly and over-complicated. Another small problem is that it doesn't import your bank transactions until the day after the transaction has taken place, despite refreshing the feed. I like to log my income/expenses the moment the transaction goes through to keep on top of my books. > > A good piece of software that does what you need it to, but perhaps more suited to small - medium businesses rather than sole traders as quite complex. No real issues, but I did decide to choose an alternative software as it suited my sole trader needs more for a good price. ----- ### "Moved from Zoho Invoice to Zoho Books" — 5.0/5 > **DAMON** | *29 August 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Marking the cost against my product items. > > **Cons**: Uncleared notifications on the app that I just can’t seem to clear > > Moved over to Zoho books from Zoho invoice to better manage my finances.
