> 
> **Pros**: The price for small businesses is great, especially for all the features you get - the app is well designed.

### "Great Tool for Freelancers and Sole Traders" — 5.0/5

> **Jack** | *6 May 2022* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Just the perfect set of features to help freelancers and sole traders in getting their job done and staying on top of all their financial requirements. Being able to work directly with your accountant is just fantastic\!

### "Easy to use in the UK" — 4.0/5

> **Leanne** | *7 February 2023* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I really like the features on this app and some of the emails that are sent through.  The branding is great too.
> 
> **Cons**: The calculations didn't match up with my accountant's by quite a bit so either I was doing something wrong or they were.  I'll double check this.I would like to have something that includes invoicing as I use a separate app for that.
