Avaza vs. Harpoon

We are a pretty unique business because we deal with bookkeeping, marketing, and HR and across all 3 departments, we have been able to successfully use the tool. Other software we have tried usually caters to one industry at a time.

I think Harpoon works best for freelancers, consultants, self employed people and smaller companies with less client to bill. For larger enterprises with hundreds or thousands of clients, there are larger, more intricate platforms in the market that are better suited for those needs.

• It switches between Kanban view, List view, and Gantt charts which fits varying preferences!
• It helps us work smart by creating dependencies and linking tasks to calendars
• It has a clean, intuitive dashboard that's very easy to navigate

• Makes Sending Invoices & Collecting Payment Easy, for Freelancers
• Tracking Financial Goals (Monthly & Annual) & Projecting Future Results
• Provides Insights On AR, Earned Income, Top Clients, and other helpful but highly relevant data points.

• The interface and taxonomy could use an update, sometimes it's hard to figure out where things logically are or should be.

• Sometimes expense reporting bring up duplicate transactions, which may be more of a fault of the API that connects my account, which is Plaid
• Would be nice if in the future, they can offer ACH as one of the payment options for invoices
• There are some redundancies that pop up when setting time frames for client work and the projects attached to them. If they aren't aligned, it can cause inaccurate reporting. If it just sent it once and it took care of both functions, it would be easier

Avaza is very easy to use, but the mobile app needs work.

They are always available and open to doing a call or a shared screen to walk through the issues.

The few times I've needed help or had questions about the platform, the founder got back to me. And fairly fast. The extra effort resonated well with me

Avaza takes the easy of Asana and adds the invoicing and bookkeeping capabilities you need all in one place.

I've used Less Accounting and & Quickbooks Online. After Less Accounting was acquired, its development was mostly stopped. While the tool was a simple way to manage invoices and expenses, its directional philosophy changed with the new owners. Quickbooks Online was a solid tool, but the company support was unhelpful and hard to work with at times. Harpoon provides a great tool, with a company that cares about its users.

• Avaza has made it easier to see how long I spend on certain types of projects and where I could be spending more time.

Incentivized

• Clear and precise visibility of my financial status.
• Projections of how I'm doing today, this month, and this year.
• Clarity on what needs to happen with client development to reach my goals.
• It shrinks the amount of time I spend on getting clients to pay my invoices.
