Customer service and help is amazing. Instant replies and support.
Pros
The integrations with Karbon and Xero.When a proposal is signed Ignition intelligently creates the predetermined job and contact in Karbon. This allows for a seamless experience and job management. Having engagement letters and the ability to manage payments are also very important and useful.
Cons
We would love to be able to automatically on charge bank and card processing charges without having to include this in our proposal. More integrations (without zapier) to software like hubspot. Also an improved integration with Karbon (where we can sync contacts and jobs without having the proposal being accepted).

Very happy and can recommend. I run a very small firm, so I originally thought the cost was prohibitive for my expected level of use. But the subscription is well worth it. I have used it more often than expected & for reasons I didn't initially envisage, and the time it has saved is well worth it's cost in relation to my time that has been freed up. Finally, as a small, newish firm, it has introduced a level of professionalism to client facing materials that was lacking with my earlier processes.
Pros
* Being able to collect client direct debit payment.* Being able to quickly draft a engagement agreement or authority document.* It's quite easy to use with a simple interface, and good customer client. This is excellent & very practical.
Cons
* They tried to change the pricing model (remove a discount) even though I was originally promised a particular discount in perpetuity. It must be noted though that when I made a point of this, they were understanding and happy to honour the original discount promise.* Some features were still lacking, e.g. the ability to change pricing without have to re-do the whole process. But again, it should be noted, I think this has been updated and now rolled out (although I haven't used it yet).
Reasons for Switching to Ignition
* They were partnered with a bookkeeping association I am part of.* It appeared to be specialist accounting and practice software, and not just generalised eSignature software.* It appeared to have a greater deal of automation and secondary features that the others didn't.Response from Ignition
Thanks Axel for your kind review. You do now have the ability to edit active services in the proposal editor and send notification to your clients. You can get info on that, and all of Ignition's latest updates here: https://www.ignitionapp.com/whats-new

Absolutely without question the best customer service I've experienced. The onboarding process with their customer success team is fantastic. Multiple meetings to check in how I was doing and what challenges I was having. Shout out to [sensitive content hidden]
Pros
Having my engagement letters stored in one area rather than sending them via PDF, getting the e-signature back and having to save the file on the shared drive saves me many hours. Also, it's pretty slick if you use all of the tools like adding a video.
Cons
The engagement letter could be improved upon. When you alter their version, the font appears different. It's recommended to upload you own version for modifications. Also, the payment processing is slow. It is very nice to have the auto pay on for subscription revenue but it can take up to a week for the funds to reach your bank account.

This is an expensive product for a relatively small business but takes away the risk of missed bills and also looks after direct debiting without a third party product. The automatic weekly billing is gold.
Pros
The biggest pro for us is the automatic billing once a customer has signed and the fact that most customers do not ask about direct debiting they simply provide details and sign. This is wonderful as cash flow is never an issue.
Cons
Manual billing is our least favourite side. We understand why it is there but we could set this up directly in our accounting software rather than running it through ignition as it has little value. Having said that we do use it to keep the billing moving forward and to remind us it is yet to be billed.

Ignition has exceeded my expectations!
Reviewed on 2024/07/25
Pros
Ignition makes it very easy to jump right in and start using the product with their templates. Their training is wonderful as well. I have been able to generate proposals and start getting paid from clients on a monthly basis up-front rather than waiting to bill after month-end and waiting for the client to pay.
Cons
So far there isn't anything I don't like about Ignition. It is super user-friendly and easy to modify.

It's very customisable, allows us to send quotes and proposals very quickly.

Reviewed on 2023/09/21
Pros
Everything about ignition is user-friendly and geared to make life easier when moving a client through the process. Once we create a proposal in Ignition, it is set and forget it. The entire process from the client accepting the proposal to the payment being captured is automated through Ignition. We never have to chase down payments for monthly services from clients.
Cons
Nothing, the system works great and they are constantly improving it.

Ignition helps with cashflow management with payment options built into the proposal. This ensures invoices are paid within payment terms. It also allows clients to pay weekly or monthly installments for work completed over the course of a year.
Pros
Easy to use and deploy in organisation. Easy for clients to use. Automated payments and collection from customers. Fully customisable to suit business processes and practices.
Cons
5 days to receive money from a direct debit on a customer's bank account. 3 days would improve the experience.

We needed a system that would allow us to easily send out our contracts and obtain signatures. This system allows us to do this and more.
Pros
The product is easy to set up with your own products and contracts and the process for creating proposals and contracts is simple and highly configurable. It's a system that is packed full of features and yet it isn't out of reach of the smaller business.
Cons
None that I can think of. The simple interface makes it a pleasure to use.

We love Practice Ignition it has been the platform we have built our business growth on for the past 4 years since implementation. We have grown 10% per year since then; and the fact that everything is streamlined from proposal to billing to collections to accounting in our QB company file has been a game changer. We are spending far less time doing administrative tasks and our accounts receivable has gone from over $80K per month to less than $20K at any given time. I would highly recommend this app to any practice that is looking to grow and sreamline!
Five Stars! We love PI!
Pros
The ease of use and the interface to the client. Getting paid right away for our services and integrating into our firm's QBO so that we can easily track our clients' billing. The training and support offered are very valuable.
Cons
We would like to be able to issue refunds to our customers using PI but thus far we are not able to. Also we would like to build in a surcharge for credit card payments but that is not an option.

Love the professional look and feel of the software which gives a great first impression to a new client of what it will be like working with us.
Makes managing credit control easy with the integrated payment feature meaning that new clients sign up for Direct Debit as they sign up as a client.

For me, Practice Ignition is really good software and has helped me a lot in uplifting my business and it has proved as a game-changer for me with its extraordinary features. By using its readymade proposal templates I have managed to save a lot of time thus giving it to my clients and I have seen a customer engagement prompt and simple too with practice ignition. Also by its automatic payment, we don’t have to bother our customers every month.
Pros
I have seen it as a really good and helpful software that has eased my work as it has combined different objectives and tasks and provided them to me on a single platform thus making work more efficient and less time taking. I must admire its ability of Direct debit collection and invoices in soft. It has transformed the power of a single click as I can now send a large engagement with just a single click. It is structured and well organized and with it, I am not able to keep track of proposals which has helped me in modifying my relation with my clients thus resulting in client satisfaction.
Cons
The switching option between different templates is also missing in it and also a single proposal sent with a single option bothers me as I think there should be an option of multiple options in single.

It’s been pleasant. This product came highly recommended by other accountants, so we gave it a shot. Again, from the client side, it’s nice to have them sign one agreement for multiple contracts. The dashboard is great, and the automated reminders really save our staff time following up on contracts that go out. If they could provide more than 1 template option, we’d have scored higher.
Pros
We moved to Practice Ignition after using a few other contract management platforms, because we felt it offered a better experience for our clients. It does in offering one signature for multiple contract types (tax, consulting services, implementation services, etc). It is superior to other platforms from that standpoint. We also felt the co-branding was better. Also, greatly appreciate the automated reminders.
Cons
By far & the reason I did not score higher, was the fact that we are limited to one template when sending contracts. We send new engagement agreements and renewal letters via Practice Ignition, but the template that accompanies each agreement can not be customized. The email template we send to new clients needs to be different than the email template sent to renewal clients, but I have been told it can’t be changed. This does not allow for a productive workflow.

Pros
As a novice using the Ignition for proposals made productivity and client use easy and efficient. The integration of Xero for invoicing, deposits and generated reports makes daily tasks more efficient. Customer service is the best service for first time users. The staff is always friendly, patient and professional.
Cons
Currently, my lack of use with the payment feature is my sore spot. However, every time I contact Customer Service the issue is resolved and my understanding is increased.

First class experience with the whole PI team and the PI software. As mentioned above, it is a game changer for us.
Pros
We have been using Practice Ignition for over three years now. its a no-brainer and a game changer. Having my AR 100% automated has saved us a lot of time performing AR/Collection tasks. It also greatly helps with our cash flow as it auto charges each client each month at the begging of the billing period as opposed to the end. PI is easy to use and does it all.
Cons
It does take 5-7 business days to receive the deposit, but I believe this is beyond the control of PI.

Great product for Accountants and Bookkeepers looking to move to a package / upfront billing model.
Particularly good for our firm, as it integrates into our client database, and deploys our job flow once a proposal has been accepted.
It also has website connector, so we can sell our services on our website, and initiate the on boarding process from there.
Provides analytics and internal notes which is also really helpful.
Additional reporting would be nice.

Client communication - letting them know upfront what my services are going to cost, and having them agree to it so there are no surprises. We've been doing this with clients for a few years but this software has saved me hours every week by simplifying the process and cutting out manual work.
Cashflow improvement - for known or suspected bad payers I can choose that they must enter bank details for a Direct Debit before accepting the proposal. It makes the conversation easier - "I can't start the work until we have an agreement in place". It removes all the time I used to spend chasing debtors.
Pros
It solves several problems in my business so is great value for money. I can customise how I use it to suit my own workflows and clients. It's simple without compromising effectiveness.
Cons
There's nothing I've found that I don't like. A few times I've thought the software didn't contain a certain functionality, but after asking support they were able to turn a new feature on for me to test.
