Not a happy camper

My overall experience has been a poor one. I am planning to change to another software program at the start of the new year

PROS

Inexpensive My initial impression was that it could do all the things that I needed and none of the things that I did not.

CONS

The least favorite part of my job is doing the accounting/bookkeeping/invoicing. The fact that the program does not have a lot of accounting features is very appealing however. The reports are clumsy And featureless. Perhaps if I was on it every day I would be able to get the the reports I'm looking for however based on my low skill level and Infrequent use It just does not seem to have the right flow. Although it is something that I need to use, I have been unable to get recurring invoices to work properly. There was a math error on one of my invoices where it calculated the total at the bottom of the invoice then said the amount due was 150.00 less. Naturally the customer paid the smaller amount .

Reasons for switching to CloudBooks

Too complicated Too many features Too expensive Too much stuff I did not need

Vendor Response

Thank you for giving your honest opinion, please send us an email listing out the issues you are facing and we would be happy to resolve them.

CloudBooks has made my consulting business much simpler to manage

simplifying my billing

PROS

I like that It is web based, very easy to quickly greatly invoices. I like that I can quickly get reports and a quick overview of my invoices.

CONS

The new invoice layout can be a bit confusing. I would also like to see an iOS app to edit and send invoices. I would like to see integration with Square for payments.
