Even large, known name brands aren't as easy to use as this and some of them even lack recurring invoicing. Less Accounting had this as far back as 2010. > > **Cons**: Would love to see a mobile app in the future. > > It's flexible, allows tagging for understanding areas of expense and income and allowed us to know what to report to various state and local agencies for revenue. ----- ### "Less accounting review" — 4.0/5 > **Brad** | *27 August 2020* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Expense tracking, account reconciliation and project tags > > **Cons**: Creating invoices. We still use fresh books for our estimates and invoicing and then need to import them into less accounting. We've simply found that the fresh books invoicing is much easier to use, more intuitive and requires far less steps to manage overall. The less accounting invoice process seems somewhat backward in our opinion. Also in reporting there is no option to compare this year's revenue and profits with last year's revenue and profits. To me this should be one of the most basic features of any accounting package. The ability to see where your business stands versus the previous year or other periods. > > Overall good. With the exception of invoicing and reporting. ----- ### "Didn't do what I wanted it to" — 2.0/5 > **Katie** | *22 November 2018* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I purchased LessAccounting along with bookkeeping service to help me run my small business. What I liked best about it was that someone else would help me keep my books up to date and on track. When my bookkeepers had my information, they were fast and accurate. > > **Cons**: Unfortunately, the software did not connect to my local credit union and could not automatically input my statements. This meant that I needed to do it manually each month, which I often failed to do. It was frustrating because I had purchased the service precisely so that I wouldn't need to touch it myself. On several occasions, the LessAccounting team was unable to work with the file I provided and I needed to go back and re-export. I understand some of this was my own fault, but the fact that it couldn't be automated in my situation frustrated me. > > Great idea, good service when I got them my statements, but ultimately the frustration of needing to export and re-export my own statements manually led me to seek another solution. ----- ### "More features for your money" — 5.0/5 > **Bobbie** | *30 September 2020* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I absolutely hate accounting, but love this product\! Once my bank statements are in the app and things are categorized, the accounting takes care of itself. I created a user account for my CPA and he gets what he needs from the program, prepares my taxes, and it's done\! SO easy\! > > **Cons**: Honestly, this provides everything I need, including a time tracker for my hours, which integrates with invoicing. > > Staff and support teams are all first rate\! ----- ### "Better Alternative to Quickbooks" — 5.0/5 > **Brian** | *11 September 2020* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've used Quickbooks and Zero in the past, but Less Accounting is just simpler to use and manage. I feel like QB and others are just too complicated for my needs, and the support is awful and confusing, but Less has much better support. > > **Cons**: Nothing really. The interface used to be a bit old, but they updated it so now it's very nice. > > I'd say very positive. I would much rather use Less than Quickbooks. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/47393/lessaccounting?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/47393/lessaccounting) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
