| Considered Both Products | FreeAgent  Vince McConville Advisor / Director Chose FreeAgent I have used and tested out many other systems. I was looking at Xero for my accounting system but at the time I chose FreeAgent because of the way it handles the recording of dividends and the inbuilt time recording. The others I trialed were good and many of them cheaper. …  Kirsty McWilliam Consultant Chose FreeAgent Dashboard for tax overview  Russell Greig MCIArb Owner Chose FreeAgent I haven't used other products, I used freeagent and was so impressed that I've continued to use it and recommend to other  Emma Cossey Trainer Chose FreeAgent I liked FreshBooks - but the support, banking integration and other extras FreeAgent offers won me over.  Edgar Danielyan Director & Principal Consultant Chose FreeAgent FreeAgent was really the first product we looked at based on a personal recommendation and since we found it to be almost perfect we didn't look at the alternatives.  Maribel Pascual Director Chose FreeAgent I found FreeAgent to be more user friendly and since I have no accounting background much more easy to use than QuickBooks.  Linda Merrills Director Chose FreeAgent We did start the business using Kashflow. It is good but isn't as full service as FreeAgent and does require a bit of knowledge of some accounting terms which FreeAgent doesn't.  Colin Clark Owner Chose FreeAgent FreeAgent is far easier to use and navigate.  Jason Dalton AICB CB.Cert PM.Dip Bookkeeper Chose FreeAgent Support. Any questions gets a fast and detailed response. Helpful, knowledgable and friendly people provide detailed explanations and answers to not only teach but help understanding.  Gavin Percy Registered and Approved Growth Coach for GrowthAccelerator. Chose FreeAgent Sage was way too complicated for my needs and not as user friendly. FreeAgent was cheaper, easier and more user friendly. Easy decision  Eddie May Web Developer & Internet Marketing Consultant Chose FreeAgent I used Fresh Books for about three years prior to switching to FreeAgent. It was the accounting functionality that made the difference - in the past two years I've not regretted the switch. Fresh Books is good, but its the UK accounting features that make FreeAgent … |  QuickBooks Online Advanced  Lisa A Lewis Owner Chose QuickBooks Online Advanced Similar in structure but Xero reporting is better. Considering a shift to Xero in the near future if the many issues with QuickBooks Online Advanced are not resolved quickly. Chose QuickBooks Online Advanced The product I used clearly appears struggling to catch up but doesn't seem an easy task for them. This other product was not able to finalize some of the modules into the web-base (NXT) system. Intuit already has multiple products (payments, tax filing, payroll, etc) that …  Joyce J Moore, MBA Senior Bookkeeper Chose QuickBooks Online Advanced I have not evaluated any yet. I have used QuickBooks since 2008 and I used Sage in the corporate environment before using QuickBooks. Honestly, I can't remember it because it was early 2000's. I thought about evaluating and looking because of the issues I've had with …  Jennifer Waggoner President Chose QuickBooks Online Advanced Quickbooks has made their other products frustrating to use by eliminating features. Their feature bundling is annoying, confusing, and frustrating. Quickbooks Online Advanced or Pro or whatever their next marketing/sales idea fills me with dread.  Steffen Jäschke Projektspezialist bei Steffen Jäschke EinzUnt Physik, Berechnungen Chose QuickBooks Online Advanced Accounting, bank management, and expense management are long-time normed and standardized processes. So we did expect very little difference, and very little effort to swap between these software suites. We were surprised that there are much more differences. These deviations … Chose QuickBooks Online Advanced None honestly. Been a QB user with other companies for around 20 years. |
