Overall Satisfaction with Flowlu

I have been using Flowlu to run a small music school. This is my first all in one type tool, it was a bit overwhelming initially but getting the hang of it. The pros out weigh the cons as I save time and money in the long run. The accounting part of Flowlu is not as extensive as other tools I have used in the past but is adequate for us as we primarily need to deal with cash and bank transfers. It gives nice charts of cash flow, revenue and expenses. We are using it throughout our business and soon will try all of Flowlu's features. Rather than use Quicken and other software, we can just use Fowlu for all our needs. It is much easier to use than others and it will save us a lot of time in the long run.
  • All in One
  • Finance
  • Accounting
  • Project Management
  • A little difficult to find features in dashboard
  • Issues loading on old laptop
  • Features still being developed
  • Save time learning many tools rather than just one
  • Streamline workflow
  • Has some features we don't use
We have used other finance tools like Quicken. Flowlu may not have all the features as the others and is still maturing, it has all the basics we need. These other tools also do not have task/project management or HR tools which we can also use. This is the big plus. The learning curve and lack of features we can adjust to.

The basics of Flowlu is enough for my business. The menus and UI can be a little confusing as there are many tools in one, however after using it for a while it becomes easier. It was straight forward to add contacts, create a new invoice and view transactions. The reports are also self explanatory and easy to read. However I haven't found how to print/export the reports. Waiting for support for their help.
One thing I have to note is that Flowlu's support is top notch! They respond to their Facebook page requests and also emails quickly. Support is a major factor for me. They continue to update and improve their tool so this gives me confidence in their business in the future. I regularly check their Facebook page and also roadmap and I am encouraged!
Flowlu is good for our small business as complicated financial transactions are not needed. I really like to have everything under one tool to save from switching apps and also to eventually save time and money in training and purchasing other software. They are still developing their features and in the future might be more appropriate for larger organizations that have complex and changing financials.
