Best time tracker for accountants!
Reviewed on 2023/12/28
Pros
As accountant constantly juggling multiple tasks, among the plethora of options available, Uku stands out as an exemplary solution that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of accountants. It its intuitive and user-friendly interface. The program has been thoughtfully designed with accountants in mind, ensuring that even those with limited technological proficiency can navigate seamlessly. I love how Uku keeps developing and how they always work out new solutions.
Cons
Although it is quite simple to use, it will take some time to get used to the timer. You will have keep in mind to start it and make sure that there isn't a timer that is already running.

It's fantastic that you can operate Uku's dashboard precisely to your needs.

I installed Uku plugin to my browser and finally keep up with tracking all my tasks. You can just switch it on and off from the extension and change tasks on the go. I even track quickly replying emails or phone calls. It’s awesome productivity booster!
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.

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.

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.

Great product and easy to use and implement.
Reviewed on 2024/04/22
Pros
The ease of use and implementation. Many other products either require an additional software or is purchased and not used because it’s time consuming to implement.
Cons
Nothing thus far. I will continue to use it outside of busy season but ended up helping me organize last minute very quickly which accountants often do.

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.

Pros
calendar view gives great overall picture what you need to do at one glance.
Cons
missing task copy function. there is template for the entire company but i can not personalize that for my needs.
Response from Artify
Thanks for your valuable feedback. At the moment, it is possible to create a task template if you have the appropriate rights. This way, you can add the same tasks to many clients. Check out our help center or contact customer support to learn how.
When adding a new task, you can copy them by writing the same title for a new task, and Uku offers a pre-created task with pre-filled fields.
We are happy to make your ideas a reality. If you have other good ideas, please post them: https://uku.nolt.io/roadmap

While ago when UKU asked me to describe himself, my first thought was that UKU is a myth buster.By overturing the saying- when something is good for everything, it's not good for anything.

Cons
Before UKU created projects it was a bit tricky to follow client onboarding process but now that matter is also solved.
