Streamlining Bookkeeping to leave room for more Advisory

Reviewed on 2024/02/02

Pros

I don't have to chase clients nearly as much with their to-do lists and client portals set up. They can ask questions, and I can add accountability tasks for clients for them to be reminded automatically, and everything is pretty customizable - including the reminder emails.

Cons

It's still growing and missing features like bulk movement in their document system, but they're working on it. They're great at listening to end-user input.

Alternatives Considered

Price was far more reasonable for smaller firms, and we don't do tax so we don't need all of those bells and whistles. FC has a no-password and simple portal and we can give our clients to-do's instead of us being responsible for constantly chasing down bank statements!

Financial Cents has been an amazing addition to our up and coming CPA Firm. It is help us be organized with our clients information but with our workflow. I love the constant updates from the FC team and really love the customer engagement they have through Zoom meetings and social media groups.

Pros

Workflow and client management. As well as the Financial Cents teams continued improvement of the service and customer engagement.

Cons

There is no mobile app yet and they need to work on notifications.

This tool is easy to use and helps manage, organize, and simplify your workload as a bookkeeper or tax preparer!

Pros

The automations and ways to organize client info and what is missing.

Cons

As with any software it takes time to get used to it. But I did find it more intuitive to use than others.

Moxie was a bit archaic and was missing key functions that I wanted for my project management

Reasons for Switching to Financial Cents

The interface and setting up each client was annoying. I like to click on a client and know everything- BN#, YE, resources. The portal was hard to set up and needed to be duplicated for each client.

I love how Financial Cents has cut down on my admin tasks for my bookkeeping business. I can automate so many tasks, set it, and not have to worry about it. I don't have to send as many communications or emails to my clients anymore, which is a huge time saver. It keeps my projects and tasks organized for my clients so that things don't slip through the cracks. I love the new ReCat feature. This saves me from having to export my clients transactions into a spreadsheet every month just to get answers on what their transactions are for. Financial Cents does all this and also sends the information back to QuickBooks once I categorize it. I love this feature!

Pros

The automations, automatic reminders, and the way it streamlines my whole accounting processes with my clients.

Cons

I haven't found anything that I dislike so far.

From the initial discovery call to the onboarding, the experience has been good. It really is easy to set up and they provide so many training videos to guide you along.

Pros

How quick and easy it is to implement. We were up and running in a week, so that didn't impact our productivity and we still have training sessions left.

Cons

We haven't encountered anything yet that we don't like. This software has helped improve our workflow 100%.

I like that it is specific to accountants and has features that other task managments don't have. I like the interface, that it is simple and easy to use.

Cons

I think there could be more systems that could be created to even better support accountants. I think having reaccuring tasks would help in projects.

I am less than 30 days in - I love it, my staff loves it. I took the leap, it is pricier than I would have liked - but I see it as an investment on our future. If this helps us get/stay organized then we can grow. Who does not like growth?

Pros

I really enjoyed the easy of the integrations! It was so easy to just plug in Adobe and Quickbooks Online. I also like that it has project management for internal ( my team) as well has having the client task lists. I really like that clients don't necessarily have to make an account to upload.

Cons

I would say I do wish a few more things were in house rather than integrations.
