Works brilliantly most times, which is important for smaller operators who don't have onsite technical help etc, only actual accountants.

Use is good but the product is getting very expensive for a small practice like ours.

I like the fact that the modules are integrated and the transfer of data between them is seamless.

Very good product, generally easy to use, and good support for technical matters.

I don't like the fact that there is little consultation on program changes or enhancements.

Ease of use, great features, caters for all client types, very reliable.

And I also wish to mention about the very scary functionality surrounding report writing.

I have been using Handisoft for many years and have always found the software to be user friendly and reliable.

I like the ability to email support, rather than having to wait on the phone. Replies are always prompt and to the point.

Easy to use, relatively error-free, excellent support.

Simple to install and operate. Support staff very helpful.

Great program that I have been using for over 10 years.

I tried valiantly a few times to venture into this, but the complexity, the lack of ease, the difficulty that requires almost an programming degree, has left me avoiding this at all costs.

The HandiSoft product transfers the tax details so that it makes completing a tax return quick and efficient saving me a lot of time. I like the flexibility of editing transactions.

Once you know the software it is easy to use because it all ready set up for you to use. The support team is useful to help you if you have questions.

Very good product overall, but very expensive, and the annual increase in cost over the years has never been, in my mind, able to be justified, especially if we compare the increases with inflation.

Cannot see any particular area I dislike or could comment about.

Whilst there are a few small issues with the some of the reporting functions, there could be a few additional options, basically we are very happy with all aspects of the software packages.

I like the fact that it is a well integrated system if you get several modules. Easy to install on desktop & workstations.

I am a semi-retired accountant and I very much enjoy using the product to do a small number of tax returns. I particularly like the fact that it gives me errors messages toot help me get it right.

However, when there are any problems with the program or questions we have it is difficult to get in contact with someone who is able to help.

I like the user friendly package. I like the document layouts as they are easy to talk through with clients and clients like the layout of the reports.

We have been using the software for about 30 years and love the ease of use. Makes tax return preparation easy.

Sage is reliable, the products are easy to use. The software enables us to manage our business needs effectively.

Handisoft is great to deal with. Any difficulties are dealt with quickly.

Easy to use very intuitive. Loved the seamless interaction of the modules.

It is straight-forward yet extensive and allows me to feel like I'm offering a more professional and useful product to my clients.

Great opportunity to get first-hand experience before committing.

I like it that is online, I can access my client's accounts from anywhere, anytime. There is no need to be in the office off  season in order to see clients' tax returns.

Overall, the software is good value for money, tech support is readily available.

One more thing that is a great feature is the connection to Quickbooks Online so you don't have to enter the P&L by hand. It will pull in the data straight from the software (they talk to eachother!).

Software support personnel are not provided with any training related to tax law or basic tax return preparation, which makes for a frustrating experience as a tax professional.

Can be accessed from any internet connected device. There are also robust diagnostics which are ran on every return which has saved us time and also helps us  prepare the most accurate returns.

Easy to use, accurate returns, but a little pricey.

Overall, the Proconnect is easy to use and calculations are accurate. The fact that it's cloud based is a huge plus as it eliminates the need to maintain your own PC's updated and backed up.

ProConnect is the best online tax preparation software I think available in the market right now.

That way the risk of accidentally typing a wrong number will dramatically decrease.

I don't like that you cannot see who is assigned to a return when you are inside it and not being able to change the assignee inside the return.

This is my second (and will be my LAST) year using ProConnect Tax Online. After the first year I had numerous software-related problems and struggled with inadequate and untrained software support.

The pricing is a bit on a higher side and compared to it's competitors it seems costly.

The software is very much like Intuit's more powerful and robust program Lacerte. It is fairly user-friendly, making it easy to just pick up and use without going through tutorials or training.

Overall the product is simple and easy to navigate, customer service is great, it is continually improved year after year. Best cloudbased platform I know of.

I also don't love that you have to pay in bulk based on the amount of clients you expect to have - I'm a new business and don't really know how many clients I'll have yet.

I LOVE that you can perform tax projections for free before committing to purchasing anything. I also love that it is a cloud software you can access anywhere online and it is super fast.
