Simple application for invoicing

4.0 3 years ago

Pros:

TopNotepad is a great invoicing and accounting software for a user that not having a strong background on accounting, but need a simple and easy software to do it. The interface of the dashboard is simplistic enough that a novice user can start learning to use it themself.

Cons:

Even though the software is quite simple to use, it still be really helpful if they can provide a deep learning video tutorial so new user can really have a complete learning of all the feature in the software. All other thing is quite standard.

But as time goes we are getting used to of this product and now we just love it working on this.

Even we can do CRM, vendor MANAGEMENT, inventory management and financial management. SO its one-in-all kind of product which you can use for daily work in your organisation

Cons:

earlier we were struggled with the Top Notepad, and we tried to read the customer support, even they wee not aware of options and how to fi something which is not working for us...

Easiest VAT Accounting Software

5.0 6 years ago

Pros:

Issuing VAT compliant invoices in English/Arabic to tracking VAT liability and getting ready for VAT returns filing, all of it can be achieved using this one software. Great tool for those who do not know Arabic, as the software takes care of the Arabic portion of the invoice.

Cons:

The description section of invoice template doesn't convert the English text to Arabic, am having to use Google translate every time, if this feature can be made available it will be very helpful.

Truly simple software for small businesses

5.0 6 years ago

Pros:

I have been using this product for 2 months now, upgraded just a month ago after thoroughly checking each and every feature, I found it to be much easier than QB. Billing clients is simple, tracking unpaid invoices, payments is easy. VAT reports can be easily downloaded.

Cons:

An option to schedule recurring invoices and having an auto-reconciliation feature can make it the best tool.

One of the easy flowing Accounting tool

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: We use it to keeping account details and client information along with billing.

Pros:

It supports a lot of features such as download pdf, send mails, expense analysis, sending reminders, generating invoices and almost everything that a company needs in terms of managing accounts.

Cons:

Pricing can be better. Can keep up with the market by adding more features and giving more competition to Zoho Expenses. There is nothing much that one can dislike about the software.
