Couldn't be simpler!

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: Only great things to say about this product.

Pros:

AccountEdge Pro has made a work of difference in my company. With their easy to use dashboard, I can enter purchases, invoice customers, pay bills, create payroll, keep an accurate accounting of my banking and so much more. It is simple to use... even I can do it! It's a huge time saver and in the five years that I have been using AccountEdge, I have never had an issue.

Cons:

Not a big deal but there have been a couple of times when I have had to realign the check printing format.

Accountedge Review

5.0 last year

Comments: Overall this software is really good for people who want a simple bookkeeping and accounting solution.

Pros:

This software is great for people who are not accountants and are looking for a simple bookkeeping and accounting software solution.

Cons:

Whenever they release an update there are plenty of bugs and a lot of features will not work until the bug is fixed. Last upgrade my outlook connection stopped working so I had to manually send out invoices. Also support is no longer what it used to be. They will force you to upgrade to the current version and also charge for any support unless you can prove that you are calling about a software bug.

Alternatives Considered: Zoho Books

Reasons for Choosing AccountEdge: You can't download entries from Quickbooks online. You can only upload so you will be forced to stay with the online version.

Switched From: QuickBooks Online Advanced

Reasons for Switching to AccountEdge: Simple to use and pricing is much more reasonable.

Free Trial was revealing

Comments: easy to start, but after 2 weeks it lost my COA and had to reimport, then it lost that a 2nd time.
simple package not yet ready for a detailed multi-level COA

Pros:

easy to get free trial installed, easy to set up user role

Cons:

could not import chart of accounts, limitations on levels of sub accounts and the reporting summary/drill down

Overall good product

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: I love the software and functionality but will most likely switch to another platform due to lack of support from customer service. Also support to your accountant is also non existent.

Pros:

The simplicity of this product makes it enjoyable to use. The layout is nice and it makes it easy to find things you are looking for.

Cons:

Customer support has gone completely down. Upgraded to the 2021 version and it broke a lot of features including the ability to send emails through outlook. Had to wait months for a fix and had to send out invoices manually. Come tax time they now want me to upgrade to 2022 for the accountant to get a copy to work on my file. Software maybe a good price but don't expect any support without spending more money. Basically a trap to force you to pay.

Alternatives Considered: Sage 50cloud Accounting

Reasons for Choosing AccountEdge: The online version of Quickbooks was very limited. Linking payments was a nightmare as you have no control over credit card approvals. Basically a customer can purchase by credit card, quickbooks approves it and holds you responsible for any charge backs.

Switched From: QuickBooks Online Advanced

Reasons for Switching to AccountEdge: Accountedge layout is much better and easy to use.
