## Reviews

### "Peace of Mind" — 5.0/5

> **Shannon** | *November 19, 2024* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I highly recommend it as a partner at an accounting firm in BC. This is our third year with Ciatation, and I couldn't be happier.

Templates, forms, and handbooks were the reason I joined, not realizing their Live HR advice would give me peace of mind and confidence. Thank you, Sharon, Simon, Kim, Terri and Ed. I have spoken with all of them, and they have guided us in our HR needs.
> 
> **Cons**: The only thing was the name HR Downloads, I love the name Citation better :)
> 
> Everything is positive, nothing negative to say.
