Overall Satisfaction with GoDaddy Bookkeeping

I used it to automatically download my eBay and Paypal transactions and then download at month and year end for my accountant. I used it previously to being GoDaddy when it was Outight. It is very automated and easy to use, just adding expenses either in one go uploading from a spreadsheet or singularly when I got them.

Pros

  • Downloads automatically from eBay.
  • Downloads transactions automatically from Paypal.
  • Easy to upload transactions from a csv to make a tax year complete should you change to the solution part way through your tax year.
  • Dashboard is easy to read with visuals to demonstrate profit and loss.

Cons

  • Shows dollar signs even when using pounds.
  • Downloads from GoDaddy to csv file have a problem with dates showing some in US format, some in text format and some in UK format. The US dates were difficult to format, I had to type in dates manually for the whole 12 months of transactions.
  • Unable to choose tax year end was geared to US tax years and taxes rather than being able to choose your own tax year and country specific formats.
  • Good value for money
  • Ideal for US market
  • Saves man hours with the auto download of eBay transactions
Perfect for US market but not transferable to UK market, needs some upgrades for this. Even when set up with a UK address it won't allow changes in tax year end, presuming that tax year starts Jan - Dec. Also shows dollars instead of pounds even though figures were correct with solution.

Using GoDaddy Bookkeeping

Loses marks on the tax year only being Jan - Dec and inability to change that to a UK format and choose your year end date.
ProsCons
Relatively simple
Easy to use
Technical support not required
Well integrated
Quick to learn
Convenient
Familiar
None
  • Automated eBay transaction integration
  • Automated Paypal transaction integration
  • Formatting downloaded spreadsheets
  • Tax Years are US format with $ signs instead of GPB £
  • Needs to be successfully updated to be used properly in non US countries
Yes - Easy to use and to find your way around it. I didn't use it too often but being able to send an invoice to a customer while on mobile is priceless while onsite; gets you paid quicker and able to 'seal the deal' onsite. Just really wish you could download good spreadsheets without the formatting date problem.
