## Reviews

### "Reckon the forgotten underdog" — 5.0/5

> **John** | *5 March 2026* | Textiles | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Its easy to use, has all the functionality and more than you would need, the support is quick and really helpful (maybe one or two rings) and compared to other software its good value for money.
> 
> **Cons**: The interface is now getting a bit old and probably not "best in class".  Looks more like what professional payroll use.  That said you get to know it quickly and the jobs can be done fast.
> 
> I'm a 35 yr chartered accountant and I have been using Reckon now since \[sensitive content hidden\]  was a boy.  I started using it because other available systems did not allow you to go back and amend transactions as easily as Reckon did.  Its a small thing but something which allows you to clean up without leaving a thousand adjusting transactions.

> **Cons**: My lack of knowledge on how to optimise the use of this product. The government makes too many changes and does not explain the implications nor the sometimes catastrophic effect it exposes small business that often runs on a thred.
