    Kashoo
    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.

    Zeni is well suited for any organization that needs accounting work. They have been great for us since we are in the SaaS space and they adjusted our accounts to reflect SaaS needs and metrics. So far I think Zeni would be a fit for any size of company. I think it would be great to start out with Zeni so that you have them in place as you grow.

    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.

    All I know was I am a victim of ACH through the Zeni system. My business will take years to recover from this fraud.

    Kashoo
    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

    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

    We used Bench.co before switching to Zeni- our books were often not available when promised, we had issues with duplicate transactions, and we had serious communication issues when trying to file our taxes. Zeni corrected our books and got our taxes filed quickly and seamlessly.

    Zeni, Inc (zeni.ai)
    • I believe Zeni was taking my money without permission
    • Zeni did not verify the company to be legitimate. They let a gmail address with no website qualify. All they needed to do was look up the real company and verify this is fraudulent.
