Extremely easy to use, making it suitable for both beginners and seasoned professionals. Consolidates essential tools like time tracking, task management, accounting, and client communication into one platform, saving time and increasing efficiency. Automation features like reminders and templates reduce manual effort and errors, boosting productivity significantly. The abundance of features can overwhelm new users, requiring time to explore and fully understand. Some features might require upgrades or changes in subscription plans, which may not always be transparent upfront.	User-friendly interface and intuitive design make it accessible even for those with minimal accounting experience. Excellent value for money with competitive pricing compared to competitors like Sage and Xero. Robust customer support that is prompt, knowledgeable, and accessible, featuring live human interaction when needed. Simplifies compliance tasks such as MTD and VAT returns, saving significant time and effort. Steeper learning curve for new users when exploring advanced features and navigation. Some essential integrations like bill scanning (e.g., with Dext) require additional costs or improvements.
