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.
Reasons for Switching to Financial Cents
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!- Industry: Accounting

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.- Industry: Accounting

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%.

Pros
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 love that it too little to no effort to understand, all of the intro videos were so helpful. They got me started on the right path.
I love that it is like taking my brain and putting it into order. It helps me get/stay organized.
Cons
Price - It was a little steep for me. But I am taking a leap of faith that I will use this - as well as my team.

Pros
Really all the features are great and new features are constantly being added.
Cons
The client portal (need a place to put client deliverables, this is a feature that will be coming) and document management systems don't function in a way that suits what I want. They are very similar to other similar systems like TaxDome, Canopy and Karbon, I am just very particular in these spaces. I like using CaseWare for document management

Amazing !!
Reviewed on 2024/01/17
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.
