AccountsPortal

Pros

Accounts portal just works, you don't need expensive training, just a good general understanding of accounting practice. The complete opposite of a system (S***) that made my life a misery in teh past.

Cons

I haven't really got into automatic reconciliation of statements or producing my invoices through AccountsPortal. Some simple walk through videos to introduce them to me would be useful.

Pros

Easy to set up, easy to find way around, trouble free, covers everything needed for doing whole accounts for small businesses.

Cons

Can't say there's anything I don't like about it for what it does, but for larger organisations it misses some functionality provided by more expensive packages (being able to upload pdf invoices and populate from pdf invoices, completely live bank feeds for example)

Reasons for Switching to AccountsPortal

Pros

Generally easy to use and a reasonably intuitive interface

Cons

Some of the features could do with more flexibility e.g. on the customisation of forms and templates

Pros

Ease of use, updates are great too. As I run two businesses I found the ability to add another business very useful.

Cons

Quite often get an annoying error message saying error, when logging in but try again & you are in.

Pros

The unique aspect that I found most interesting in AccountsPortal was journal and ledger drill down. I could be able to go to the particular report of selected transactions and reconcile contrary to doing it afresh if there are some complications and errors which you have to correct.

Cons

AccountsPortal does not support the feature of making payment in batches for suppliers invoices. Every bill had to be processed separately, which proved very tedious when dealing with end of the month expenses through various vendors selected.
