Nothing but love for Bonsai

I've been using Bonsai for a couple of years now and I don't know what I would do without this tool. They simplify the admin side of my business with a support staff that is always there when needed. My favorite features are their contracts, forms, time tracking, and Bonsai Tax. Their new scheduling feature could use some work. While it has the potential to replace Calendly, it doesn't show my unavailability of existing meetings so you run the risk of double booking.

Bonsai Forever!

I love the fact that Bonsai breaks down all of your federal and state taxes. It's so helpful to have for keeping track of your daily expenses and I really enjoy the ease of use of this software. I wish I discovered it a few years ago. Maybe I would not have owed the IRS nearly $5000. I recommend purchasing this program to anyone that is self-employed and doesn't like keeping up with their taxes. I think it's better than Quickbooks Self Employed.

As a new free lancer

As a new free lancer, and not a native from the US where I work, Bonsai comes as a lifesaver. I depend on it entirely for proposals, contracts, invoices and it helps me focus on the core of my work, not the admin! Love that the product keeps getting richer too.

A growing service, but already a lifesaver.

It's definitely a growing service with new features being added all the time. However, I haven't found anything like it. I have tax, expenses, invoicing, proposals, and so much more all in one place. Lifesaver.

Super easy to use and makes admin a pleasant part of my business. Think I've been using it over a year now. I've loved designing my invoices and contracts to suit my brand image and my clients find it very easy to use too.

Bonsai has entirely elevated our client experience!

I've been running my business passively since ~2015 without any paid technology. In November 2021, I made the decision to invest more time/energy into actively running the business. I knew I would need a seamless and elegant sales experience to align with our product. Bonsai has made that setup a breeze. Within an hour of signing up for their platform, my client acquisition process was entirely transformed. I've been able to consistently raise prices y/y and manage higher volumes of new ...
