### "Simple, Powerful" — 5.0/5

> **Alyx** | *January 28, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love ZipBooks\! Great all in one tool for a wide range of owners. It looks simple but packs a punch and everything is so handy\!
> 
> **Cons**: I wish it had more customization to the dashboard

-----

### "Speedy payments made easy." — 5.0/5

> **alton** | *September 16, 2024* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Zipbooks is AMAZING\! I was using a different invoice software and found myself waiting almost a week for payment. This is inconvenient for my business. Zipbooks made timely payments a reality. The software is beyond user friendly and takes only minutes to get up and running.
> 
> **Cons**: I have absolutely no complaints at this time. I have even recommended several other companies to try Zipbooks.

-----

### "ZipBook Review" — 5.0/5

> **Kaela** | *April 24, 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: ZipBooks is very user friendly. I absolutely love that it offers features like time tracking, which is super handy if you bill by the hour.
> 
> **Cons**: One thing that I least like is that some advanced features are only available in the paid plan.
> 
> My experience with ZipBooks has been more so on the positive side. Zipbooks overall has made managing my finances easier and more efficient.

-----

### "Ingenious and intuitive" — 5.0/5

> **Steven** | *August 13, 2025* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Accounting and numbers aren't my thing, so I started using ZipBooks as a way to simplify my work, but what I didn't expect was that it would give me great tools that make accounting easier and less headache-inducing. I loved it from day one because it's been easy to use and allows me to analyze data more quickly and intelligently, having an organized, well-structured, and secure ledger.
> 
> **Cons**: The free trial is very limiting and doesn't seem to work as a good accounting platform. It's better to pay for a plan to access all the accounting tools.
> 
> It improved my understanding of accounting as complicated and difficult to do. The automation it allows allows me to develop my entire project more efficiently, simplifying processes and keeping track of expenses.
