CONS

Since UKU team have solved all my requests regarding updates and new solutions, I dont have any comments for this section.

Next Level Accounting Practice Management

Uku has revolutionized how we manage our accounting practice. The automation and analytics features are game-changers. Uku is also very beautiful and has a clean design that is easy to learn to use.

PROS

Our transition to Uku was seamless, and the impact was immediate. We’re not just saving time, we’re delivering better service.

CONS

We dream that Uku could have more ready-made templates for different workflows.

Reason for choosing Uku

The Uku team is incredibly responsive and always open to feedback. It’s not just a tool, it’s a partnership

Reasons for switching to Uku

Uku has hit the nail on the head with its simplicity and specificity, it is designed precisely for accounting firm and integrated with the necessary software. Unfortunately, generic software and direct competitors do not offer this.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your feedback, Mia. More templates are coming soon! For workflows, projects, and emails.

It helps you when you are invoicing your clients.

PROS

I can see due dates and keep track of the tasks.I can see the amount of future tasks.You can keep track of the time what you spend on one task or one client.

CONS

It could be a bit easier to add additional tasks.I would appreciate the quick step "phone" but it does not work.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the feedback, Riin. Your company CHK has given Uku multiple ideas for product development. Magic Button has also been born from this. You can add a task with the Magic Button with just three clicks. This feature had some issues before, but now it works like clockwork. If you still need help, contact our customer support through the Uku app.

UKU for accounting company

PROS

Easy to implement, great support from UKU during implementation. User friendly, easy to understand how it works. A lot of different processes integration in one place.

CONS

More difficult to work in a standartized way as the program is very flexible for user - in starndartized company environment we would like to lock more fields for editing, make only choose from list options for task names and etc.

Reasons for switching to Uku

Lacked functionalities, integrations and used different systems for different processes like time tracking, task management, overtime management.

Time tracking is a game changer!

PROS

Super easy to use, intuitive and looks good. Tracking different tasks is very, very easy.

CONS

I needed it for time tracking and waiting for email integration.

Reason for choosing Uku

Beautiful design, helpful support, easy to use and fair price

I looked for such practice management solution for years

We looked for an adequate practice management solution for years. Uku was the answer to all our problems and it works for both the accountants and the management. We needed to get a company-wide overview of all our tasks - whether they’re in progress, completed or overdue. Before Uku, the accountants had this information themselves, but the managers couldn’t monitor the performance in real time. On the management side, we also needed to know how much time was really spent on different tasks to price services accordingly. Uku has helped us up our service quality, always deliver work on time and increase profitability.

PROS

It helped us get rid of guessing games, countless (and off sync) spreadsheets, forgetting, and chaos. Now we really know who’s working on what and when it’s due. We can prevent delays and be sure of our overall service quality.

CONS

Once you’re set up, there’s nothing I don’t like.

Reason for choosing Uku

Simplicity, easy to use and specialization for accountants

Reasons for switching to Uku

We needed to level up our company digitalization

Great time management tool

We have been using UKU for several years and it has changed our time management tremendously.A to-do list helps you plan your time well and prevents a situation where something is forgotten or not done at all.It is also easy to monitor customer volumes and price customers according to changes.

PROS

All time planning and an overview for managers are in one place and can be easily analyzed.

CONS

We are waiting to send out e-mails from UKU (it is still in the test phase).

Vendor Response

Thank you, Grete, for encouraging us to operate faster and think bigger. Thanks to 1Office, Uku has a billing solution. Your business is willing to put in the effort to test our solutions; this contribution is invaluable. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. As previously mentioned, we are building very advanced communication tools in Uku. You probably already know we are always there for you and happy to help. If you have other good ideas, you can post them here: https://uku.nolt.io/roadmap. This way, we get a good overview of all wishes and can find a place for them in our development plans.

Good for time-tracking

We can get a really good overview of our clients. Having a list of tasks under each client is very useful when we need to replace other employees.

PROS

I'm using Uku just to track time and export some lists. It is easy to use and gives quite good overview to the company and to employees.

CONS

As a analyst i would like to have better API integrations with different Accounting softwares or for example with PowerBI (i know that you just came out with an api, so mu appologies if you already have previous integration). What i'm missing the most, is having some kind of "loading" button when exporting client list, because right now i'm not sure if it is downloading or not doing anything

Vendor Response

Thanks for an excellent idea, Kerli! We already use the loading screen in many windows, but we will also add it there. Timing and data export are some of the main functions of Uku. We are glad that Uku can also help you input data for broad-based analysis. Indeed, we just released our API and plan to integrate it with PowerBI so our members can make business decisions based on actual data. Our exporting is also now five times faster!

Uku as taken us to the next level in time and invoice management

Uku has optimized many our our processes. It has added efficiency and good analytical tools. We have had some additional needs, which are not available in Uku at the moment, however we are glad those improvements have been taken into the roadmap and will soon be available for all users.

PROS

* Its easy to use * continuous development, * tailor-made solutions, if needed * real time customer support, quick fixes of your problems

CONS

it could be a bit challenging in the beginning to implement the optimum list of topics - you really have to think through what is you main purpose of using Uku. For us the main purpose has changed over the time - when we started, the main idea was to get the overview of hours spent on each client. Later, as we implemented invoicing module, we realized that topic setup was not corresponding to our needs, so it needed to be reviewed and updated. However, redoing is not a problem in Uku - all your "old" data is stored safely and you can use it any time.

Reasons for switching to Uku

although Kimai was a free soft, it had really limited possibilities. It covered our need for sometime, but with Uku we see that we can optimize and automate so much more

Used it from the beginning

We’ve used Uku for several years and it totally changed the way we work and price our services. The software itself has changed a lot over time, e.g. importing customers and other data has become much easier, also love the browser extension. Our whole team uses it and it really gives ownership over your tasks. It also makes delegating and balancing work simple and transparent. I can’t recommend it enough.

PROS

Uku is simple and intuitive and covers anything we might need from a work management system - from tracking time and managing tasks to billing. It has increased efficiency and visibility throughout our team.

CONS

The old Uku took some time to get used to. Thankfully the software has evolved a lot and many problems have been solved over time. On the upside, Uku team listenes to users feedback and tries to solve problems as fast as possible.

Reason for choosing Uku

Save time

Good experience. I get a good overview of tasks and save a lot of my time with Uku. And program is easy to use.

PROS

Saves me a lot of time. You can plan all your tasks, make weekly, monthly and annually plans. Add automated tasks. One place for all information: client related information, tasks, templates, checklists etc. You can also add documents, make invoices. Helps measure time spent for each task or client and analyse effectiveness.

CONS

Nothing important to point out. At first I didn`t know how to correctly change automated tasks (program sometimes created duplicated tasks in past) but client service helped me out. It is important to update the date of the task if you change automated tasks.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the lovely feedback, Marilin. Glad to hear that Uku saves you time. We are pretty proud of our customer support. Our customer support is truly the best in the world. If we receive your concerns, we make it a priority and, if needed, deploy the entire team to solve it.

Uku gives you data you didn't know you needed

Before Uku, we were totally in the dark about our work. Now all the knowledge is just a couple of clicks away.

PROS

Uku has given our company data which we use monthly to make our pricing decisions.

CONS

Uku can always be improved and improvements take time - world is changing fast as well as the regulations on the accounting market. The good thing about Uku's team is that they really make an effort to see their clients perspectives and implement useful features.

Reason for choosing Uku

Uku is a contemporary approach to time management compared to ValueFrame, which belongs to the previous decade.

Vendor Response

Thank you very much, Jaanus, for the feedback. You have taken CHK very far in terms of efficiency. It has been a pleasure to develop and improve Uku with you. The input provided by CHK to Uku has been invaluable. At Uku, we consider fair pricing of accounting services necessary, and we are glad that you have gained a good insight into the time consumption of your work with Uku.

Works for the accountant, not the other way around

PROS

The best thing about Uku is that it’s made specifically for the accountants - it brings tasks, clients, planning and billing all in one place. I really feel it supports my day-to-day work, not the other way around. You have so many options to customize workflows and custom fields to add information that it suits anyone from a big bookkeeping company to a solo accountant. It’s great that you can add comments and other information to tasks and clients and store all relevant information centrally. Uku helps keep up with all the tasks without the mental clutter. I can be sure that tasks appear to my dashboard when it’s time to work on them. Also, it’s nice to get the “Nicely done!” message once you’ve completed all your tasks for the day.

CONS

Not to nitpick, but it would be great to get e-bills from Uku.
