Botkeeper has the automation aspect nailed down. Other companies do not have this process taken care of yet. On top of that, we trust in botkeeper and believe they will be around for the long run.

Botkeeper offers a similar service to that of pilot, however, for the price that we pay, we get a lot more services like accounts payable and accounts receivable, as well as bill payment through bill.com. I'm also pretty sure that scalefactor is no longer running and operating. …

if you run a small business that has gotten large enough for accounting to become a headache on a weekly or monthly basis, I would consider botkeeper as a solution. they have packages that scale up as your business continues to grow. Also, if you are collecting sales tax and managing that yourself, along with your year-end reporting for taxes, botkeeper is a lifesaver.

Wolters Kluwer CCH ProSystem fx is best suited for more experienced tax professionals that typically prepare more complicated individual returns (1040). It is also well suited for firms that prepare corporate, partnerships, estate/trusts, and other more detailed returns that require K-1's. The application is good for small and large teams due to the workflow that keeps everyone on the same page. For smaller firms that prepare simple returns, there are other products in the market to fulfill those needs.

Cons
  • Potential and capabilities for revenue recognition are not up to a high standard, which is a basic ask.
  • The exhaustive analysis is not possible with just Botkeeper, one needs to integrate with some other third-party service provider, and that's something that is not considered good.
  • Analytical outputs in terms of charts and graphs need to be more adaptive as only a few configurations are provided and the rest seems to be pulled from the provided one, which imparts an overhead.
  • Botkeeper claims best probability and statistics calculations but sometimes standard deviation shows it way away from acceptance criteria.

  • Sometimes opening the Document program can be slow--I have to be patient.
  • Lots of options and commands, takes some time to get used to and master the programs.
