Accounting Power vs. OfficeTools by CARET

Retail, professional services, non-manufacturing, or non-inventory-based clients are a great fit.

For a small office or team keeping track of multiple projects at once can be a challenge. OfficeTools provides an all-in-one affordable (less than $60 per month) and accessible (cloud based) project management solution to keep your team on task. If your organization uses products such as Quickbooks or Outlook you can easily integrate them into this software solution. I honestly cannot think of an organizational structure that would not benefit somewhat from integrating OfficeTools into their operations

It provides everything one needs for accounting services and then some at a price point that makes it very affordable.

Needs some work. Support staff seem to be computer people, not accountants or users of the system. Their answers sometimes seem short and computer-based. Not answered in a way that says, "I have thought through this and here is what I see to do."

Seek out others who have done it and learn from them.

I find Accounting Power to have more flexibility, power, and reporting capability than QuickBooks Online with a simpler interface.

OfficeTools is by far the easiest project management tool that I've ever used. It is very user friendly and easy to pickup. That cannot be said for other products that I've used in the past

• Allowed for standardized processes
• Improved efficiency in disbursement processing
• Bank feed is easily broken
• ACH payment options are not well established
