Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am a sole proprietor of a recruiting firm. This solves 99% of my accounting needs by tracking every transaction from bank, credit card and cash spending, as well as producing invoices and preparing me for year end tax. It integrates with TurboTax, allowing me to simplify my year-end tax reporting. Through a phone app, it tracks mileage as well.

Pros and Cons

Tracks mileage through phone app.
Integrates with TurboTax.

Add easier ability to send out invoices manually.
Ability to track to see if invoice was delivered.

Return on Investment

Good interface to send to accountant if using one.
Helped me track invoices well.

Alternatives Considered

I selected Quickbooks because it was free for a year when I had TurboTax.

Other Software Used

Crelate Talent

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for sole proprietorship (me). Allows me to review each transaction to determine if it is a business or personal transaction. Tracks mileage using GPS through both android and apple IOS phones. Inexpensive solution for accounting purposes. If you have a simple business, don't need to hire an accountant. Generates and tracks invoices well.

Great for solo practitioner - Simple to use
