A Tax CPA

So far it has been great. The support has been been "off the board" and the software has given me what I was looking for. Support, Jack, not only had the answers but he also listened to be "explanation" and quickly figure out my issues and how to direct me forward. One of the best support experiences I have had.

PROS

The upload/import feature takes "crunching" the numbers out of the equations. In stead of spending "hours" crunching the numbers we get the results quickly and can spend more time analyzing and implementing strategies for our customers.

CONS

Being a tax person, I have that need to know the numbers. So, I had to train myself to accept the details and work with the results.

Reason for choosing Maus

Ease of implementation.

Reasons for switching to Maus

Too difficult to implement & upload data. I felt I had to spend too much time "building" the product. I wanted to trust the product and use the expertise and technology for my benefit. Didn't have time to "build" it.

Vendor Response

New User Review - as a Business Coach/Consultant

So far I have found the software to be very good and appears to provide what I need for my business and Clients.

PROS

The software brings together a number of commonly-used tools in a professional interface with a good deal of the "mundane" work already completed. The availability of training material (incl. videos) and regular weekly online webinar meetings is tremendous but the ready availability of support by email and phone is simply extraordinary in these times of call centres and AI.

CONS

Whilst I have so far always found a solution (sometimes with help) I find parts of the navigation a bit clunky.

Vendor Response

Thankyou for the Great Review! We are very happy to hear the software and support team has been able to assist you with systemizing your practice! Let us know if you need any further assistance down the line !

Client Needs Analysis

I can safely say that my dealings with MAUS have been beyond my expectations. Getting up and running was very simple and the coaching and advice from [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] subsequently has been of massive value. Most unusually, the process of getting schooled by [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has been enjoyable and his ability to interpret and work out what training would be most valuable has been superb.

PROS

What I like most about the Client Needs Analysis is the profound effect it has on the recipient business owner. The psychology of asking a series of questions and having the owner answer them is not apparent until the report is generated. In my experience, many business owners are profoundly affected by having what they said reflected back at them. It is very engaging and makes it much easier to engage them with the subsequent products. This shit really works.

CONS

Every piece of software has its unfortunate little glitches and annoyances. The Client Needs Analysis loses a couple of points because it requires manual saving of a page which is a feature I thought had been dispensed with long ago. I have lost significant amounts of work because of this but have now disciplined myself to save every page religiously.

Reason for choosing Maus

We felt that the suite of tools, although Australian and therefore different to New Zealand, was much more aligned to our needs than any competitor and the fact that we can take the MAUS materials and configure them to suit our exact needs is excellent for us. The more we get mastery over the tools, the more we come to appreciate the work that has gone into their design. I personally applaud MAUS. You have created something to be proud of.

Vendor Response

Hi John! Thank you very much for your kind words, its great to hear that have been able to take advantage of our Consulting & Advisory tools. Thank you for your feedback and the save feature on MAUS. Because of these feedbacks we are able to keep improving MAUS. Have a great day!

Phenomenal Tool for Exit Planners and Value Advisors.

I use the tool with all my customers and recently started doing one off projects on specific request by the customers and have found the software very helpful.

PROS

The software allowed me to begin my consulting practice immediately. I am both certified advisor with Maus and the Exit-Planning-Institute. It allowed me to do discovery meetings and value enhancement projects. I would not be where I am today without the software’s help.

CONS

Previously all software support was out of Australia, they are in the process of building those capabilities in the United States and once that’s completed the software will be perfect

Reason for choosing Maus

Best value and easiest to get started. It also tied in extremely well with my certified exit planning advisor designation I had earned.

Vendor Response

Thank you Larry for your kind words, we really appreciate it. You're a fantastic advisor to have in the network and we look forward to working with you into the future. Feel free to reach out to the team if you have any questions or queries :)
