User Testimonials
	Access Handisoft	Accounting Power
Likelihood to Recommend	The Access Group The software is great and does what we need for our day-to-day accounting, but when it comes to our in-house IT, we seem to have issues with our internal server complementing our ability to work outside of the office on the software. Data has been lost, work time wasted twice. Incentivized DS Danielle Serna Office Manager Read full review	AccountantsWorld Retail, professional services, non-manufacturing, or non-inventory-based clients are a great fit. Incentivized Steven Brewer Owner Read full review
Pros	The Access Group Productivity Dashboard/reporting Ease of use Incentivized DS Danielle Serna Office Manager Read full review	AccountantsWorld Simple layout Logical menu and format Flexibility in designing reports Department/location accounting Incentivized Steven Brewer Owner Read full review
Cons	The Access Group Inventory building Reboot necessity Internet Lag Incentivized DS Danielle Serna Office Manager Read full review	AccountantsWorld CPA firm's client interface for delivery of bills to pay Better ACH payment options for bill payment Additional layer of department/location allocation Invoicing option in mobile app Incentivized Steven Brewer Owner Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	The Access Group No answers on this topic	AccountantsWorld I do not see a good alternative in the market Incentivized Steven Brewer Owner Read full review
Usability	The Access Group No answers on this topic	AccountantsWorld It provides everything one needs for accounting services and then some at a price point that makes it very affordable. Incentivized Steven Brewer Owner Read full review
Support Rating	The Access Group No answers on this topic	AccountantsWorld 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." Incentivized Steven Brewer Owner Read full review
Implementation Rating	The Access Group No answers on this topic	AccountantsWorld Seek out others who have done it and learn from them. Incentivized Steven Brewer Owner Read full review
Alternatives Considered	The Access Group Because we work with a CPA as our Finance Manager, it is best to have the ability to track our workflow and progress, as well as our own Due Date Tracking in order to remind him. They use QuickBooks to document their business, but using Access allows us to easily manage our number to send to them for general use. Incentivized DS Danielle Serna Office Manager Read full review	AccountantsWorld I find Accounting Power to have more flexibility, power, and reporting capability than QuickBooks Online with a simpler interface. Incentivized Steven Brewer Owner Read full review
Return on Investment	The Access Group No answers on this topic	AccountantsWorld Allowed for standardized processes Improved efficiency in disbursement processing Bank feed is easily broken ACH payment options are not well established Incentivized Steven Brewer Owner Read full review
