Pros and Cons	Provides dedicated and responsive bookkeepers who offer personalized and expert financial support, ensuring tasks are handled promptly and professionally. Seamless onboarding process and user-friendly interface make bookkeeping and tax filing easy for small business owners, saving time and reducing stress. Automates transaction categorization and integrates payment accounts, significantly reducing manual effort and offering real-time financial insights. Enables businesses to access detailed financial reports and performance data, empowering informed decision-making. Costs can be a concern for some small business owners, as it may represent a significant expense for startups or lean budgets. Some users may feel the service requires initial adjustments and acclimation to align processes with the system. Lack of advanced customization for niche or highly specific accounting needs could limit applicability for certain businesses. Dependency on assigned bookkeepers may result in service variability depending on individual expertise and responsiveness.	User-friendly interface and intuitive design make it accessible even for those with minimal accounting experience. Excellent value for money with competitive pricing compared to competitors like Sage and Xero. Robust customer support that is prompt, knowledgeable, and accessible, featuring live human interaction when needed. Simplifies compliance tasks such as MTD and VAT returns, saving significant time and effort. Steeper learning curve for new users when exploring advanced features and navigation. Some essential integrations like bill scanning (e.g., with Dext) require additional costs or improvements. Limited enhancements in certain reporting features, such as management reports requiring better summaries or breakdowns. Occasional compatibility challenges with specific operations, such as VAT handling under complex scenarios.
