Akauting review by [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

I managed to follow my accounts easily. From my personal point of view, Akaunting allows small and medium-sized businesses to control their accounts more easily without having to resort to an accountant within the company. The question that must be asked now is whether it is an application intended for large companies.

PROS

Akaunting is really easy to install and configure. Developers make the best features available to users.

CONS

Secondary applications developed by community developers are always expensive. To have the best features, you have to pay a lot more

Reason for choosing Akaunting

I chose Akaunting for the free first functionalities of an accounting software that it offers

Very economical solution for small business accounting software

I have been very pleased with this software.

PROS

The integrations and premium cloud subscription set this product apart from other competitors.

CONS

There is some difficulty in self-hosting, though the premium cloud option negates the obstacles.

Reason for choosing Akaunting

It is a promising product meeting the most critical needs. There are plenty of familiar integrations available for scaling solutions. The cost for premium cloud is reasonable when compared to competitors. Customer support is paramount for premium cloud subscribers.

Reasons for switching to Akaunting

I was not satisfied soliciting Intuit QuickBooks while competing with their bookkeepers.

A small businesses friend that doesn't break the bank

Akounting is what Quickbooks should be for small business. (And I don't mean that as a slight). I'm not an accountant, but can use this to run two small business and do what i need year-round and at tax season, and I didn't need to take online classes ,watch hour long videos, or read books to get going. It just works. Anyone considering Quickbooks for anything under a million dollar business - should give this a shot first. Quickbooks seems to be targeting NetSuite these days, and that leaves out anyone who doesn't have a full-time accountant and finance team (and I.T. honestly). Not to mention the price of Quickbooks is just insane. This is a great program/platform/whatever you want to call it.

PROS

Anyone can just get going with this in half an hour. I've used it now for two years making incremental improvements in how I operate in it. I'm not an expert, and I've tried Quickbooks (and actually use it at another business). Akaunting is so pleasant compared to that mess. I will openly admit I use this mostly for accounts receivable and payable, not some of the more advanced stuff, but it's interesting since as I use it, I sort of learn more about things I 'could do' to make my life easier. I love it, and has a powerful, but un -intimidating feature-set. Its priced right too, and loved the free version for a while as it let me learn and really do what I mostly wanted for free.

CONS

Though this is a winner for me, there are a few annoyances I wish they would address. 'Batch changes' are a problem. So about a year in I figured out how I wanted to use categories to help me better at the end of the year. Well, you can't select transactions in batch and change categories. Instead you have to one by one click transactions and change each one on its own. This just isn't going to happen. Second, and sort of part of #1, I'm using their cloud version which is great, but its not the most responsive and speedy. So addressing my category problem would take me forever if I did this. Third, and I don't use it, but have thought of using it. The report system seems either way to complex, or inept. I'm not sure. Basically for tax season I wanted to run a few spending reports on a few categories. This seemed not possible. or at least not intuitively possible - but i may be wrong.

Reason for choosing Akaunting

Price and simplicity in operation. The free version was great to let me learn.
