    Chose Kashoo
    Wave Accounting has the UI and UX down perfectly. Their reporting is nice as well, but I felt like things were a little more customizable in Kashoo, so they have the upper hand there.

    Allows to send invoices. One time and recurring invoices.

    Chose Kashoo
    Way back when, I used Microsoft Money to manage my business and personal work. They changed things often, bank downloads stopped working, and it really wasn't well suited for business anyway. So when my laptop died, I gave up on it.
    Quickbooks was next, but I was overwhelmed …

    Chose Kashoo
    No yearly license fees with Kashoo lifetime plan and it includes a mobile app and mobile integration with the desktop version. I can do everything I need to do in Kashoo so there is no need for bloated old Quickbooks.

    Chose Kashoo
    • Better Price, QuickBooks can get pricey
    • Equivalent Functionality
    • Better documentation (QuickBooks has lots of outdated and confusing documentation online)

    Chose Kashoo
    Kashoo works well and has all the features I need. Wave does not allow for reconciliation and does not do reporting. QuickBooks Online is very expensive and does not have all the features that Kashoo has.

    Kashoo is well suited if you have the time to learn the system. Because after that, it becomes a breeze. But if you're new to this stuff and don't have an accountant, you may be struggling to understand exactly what you need to do or where you need to click.

    Pros
    Kashoo
    • Invoicing - I can create an invoice and email it directly from within Kashoo. When a payment is received, it is simple to enter the transaction and mark it as paid.
    • Projects - I can assign a Project to a transaction. This way I can get a detailed picture of a specific project on which we are working. I can run a P&L report of just that project or the whole company.
    • Reconcile - Reconciling is a snap when you connect the account to the bank online.
    • If you are doing bookkeeping for more than one company, Kashoo has support for that. You can easily switch between companies as needed.

    Cons
    Kashoo
    • The UI is not nice at all - even with a UI refresh, it still didn't look that great
    • The UX is rough as well - it's not as easy to use until you get used to it - high learning curve

    Usability
    Kashoo
    Kashoo is by far the most intuitive and easy to use accounting/bookkeeping solution I've tried, and after using it for several years I'm pleased that it delivers a consistent experience. No surprises, it just works. I don't want to spend any more time than I have to attend to bookkeeping, and Kashoo allows me to do just that.

    They were not helpful in resolving my issue on the change to my lifetime deal, and I am not happy with their support. They didn't care at all
