Advataxes Review

Overall the experience is positive. The software does "its job". I hope that the price range will continue to be an affordable one.

PROS

Users' feedback was good, overall users felt that "the software is easy to use". In terms of implementation, it provided great flexibility and required very little adaptation of our current accounting policies and various types of expenditures.

CONS

One feature would be helpful to have is a connection to the banking credit card system, where users can log in to Advataxes and view their outstanding credit card expenses and match the expense with the receipt in real time. This would streamline the process and eliminate the follow up work on missing receipts.

Reason for choosing Advataxes

WE explored 3 options. Each had its own pluses and minuses. Nexonia offered an integration with our accounting system but it did not allow us to test the product which made it hard to envision the process before implementing it across the organization.

Vendor Response

We are pleased you liked the opportunity to try Advataxes for free in the first place. As for the credit card integration, we have been recently doing business with a third party provider (Plaid) that maintains a link with +100 North American banks. We can let you try this new feature for free, however if you keep it there will be a fee. Thank you for your feedback. It's much appreciated.

Nice tool !

- We no longer need to have different excel spreadsheets for each provinces (for different tax rates), and we do not need to update some of the changing tax features, such as large companies. - Reduce paper printed. - Easier approval process - Very good customer services

PROS

- Ability to directly save invoices into the system from a camera - Automatic calculation of mileage - Calculation of taxes according to the applicable rules.

CONS

- The speed of the system; when you click on a tab it takes a few seconds to get to the new page. - The mobile application could be more complete and allow to never need the computer.

Reason for choosing Advataxes

Advatxes is a local supplier and we feel customer support is important.

Vendor Response

Hello Francois, thank you for your response. We're glad you like the Canadian sales tax functionalities as well as the distance calculator, as these are core functionalities of Advataxes to properly claim recoverable taxes and lower the time required to fill out an expense report. As for your other comments we are also working on increasing the speed of certain features.

Great expense software!

I always get my proper reimbursement because of how Advataxes organizes my expenses.

PROS

This software is very user friendly and includes all the options I need. The response from the team whenever I have contacted them is very fast and they fix any issues ro explain to me what is needed.

CONS

I wish the "stay logged in" feature on the app actually worked.

Vendor Response

Hello Rob, thank you, we are pleased that you view Advataxes as a great software. As for the App "stay logged in" issue you have encountered we will address this matter.

Ease of use!

Really positive so far, been using it for five years (both the desktop and more recently the smartphone application). The software actually has shown minor improvements over the years but overall it has always been easy to work with.

PROS

The ability to use an application on your smartphone to prepare and submit expense reports for the company is really helpful. You do not need to be close to a scanner for receipts any more or at your desktop/laptop.

CONS

Sometimes the decimal points on the tax portion of the expenses do not work out quite well, from the automatic calculation. You have to play around with the amounts to get the total amount including tax to add up and become the same as the total on the expense receipt.

Vendor Response

Hi John, thank you for your comments. We are happy that you like our new IOS/Android App. When there is a discrepancy between the pre-calculated tax and the tax on an invoice, we find it is easier to edit the tax amount while the "tax included" option is selected.
