> 
> I really wanted to like this because my entire practice is beholden to Intuit, but I just couldn’t get this to work for me and instead wasted too much time doing even the most trivial tasks month after month. I eventually gave up.

> 
> **Pros**: This software has allowed us to grow as a company and keep better track of Inventory and cash flow.  \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] has been extremely helpful, from learning how to use the software to customizing the software to fit my needs.  AccountingSuite supersedes any other invoice software we have ever tried.  This company gets 10 out of 10 stars from us\!

> 
> **Cons**: Navigation is a bit harder initially, but it is more of a cosmetic issue than anything else.
