It integrates nicely with the tech stack I use freeing me up from manual work. > > **Cons**: As much as I would like to say there is at least one flaw with this platform, there just isn't. It's perfect for my service based business. > > As a solo firm owner, partnering with Anchor has been a game changer. They’ve helped me streamline my offerings, save countless hours, accelerate payment collection, and even upsell my services—all of which have strengthened my client relationships and my bottom line. It's a win-win all around. I can't recommend this software enough for firms looking to automate and streamline. ----- ### "Signing up was one of our best decisions ever" — 5.0/5 > **Julie** | *24 February 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It simplifies client onboarding and then the money just flows in naturally with very little effort\! Our merchant processing costs dropped significantly and clients like the transparency. > > **Cons**: They need to work on a mobile friendly view of their website. I also would like the ability to navigate to a different agreement without having to go back out to the main list and wait for the whole page to populate, which is slow for a company of our size. > > We have been with them since the beginning and were one of the earliest adopters. They were very attentive to our requests, and as an early, they developed a product that meets rigorous accounting standards and offers useful automations that work well. ----- ### "Worth the transition\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jen** | *24 February 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of process - everything in one place, payment processing is much cleaner when tracking and syncing to our accounting, and way less chasing declined payments. Their customer support is also on point; I can't sing their praises enough. They are the type of staff you wish you could poach for your own team - haha\! Truly kind, patient, and knowledgeable people. > > **Cons**: We have a very large client base, so the transition was not the easiest. Lots of manual work to get everything in on our end. We knew it would be hard, but definitely underestimated the workload. That said, the Anchor team has been fabulous to work with and supported the best they could at every turn. The only two things I would improve on is, one: to highlight sections of the terms that must be checked off when missed/skipped. We've had a LOT of back-and-forth emails with clients about not being able to complete their agreement because they skipped a check box section. It's not a huge deal, but when onboarding a lot of clients, that's become a time suck. If the agreement inherently bolded that section/turned it red or gave an error message to go back, that would be amazing. We even tried to pre-notify clients, but half of them don't read the emails fully to catch that instruction. And two: create a place for the customer to enter their billing information that would sync with our QBO. This is for our tax purposes. Our old system did collect addresses and would sync to our QBO, making life way easier. This is now another follow-up step we have to add to our list outside of the proposal. > > Fabulous so far\! We still have a ways to go, but right now the onboarding pains are heavily outweighed by ease of use and simplification of our processes. ----- ### "Professional, Streamlined, and Client Friendly" — 5.0/5 > **Kane Zhan** | *28 August 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Anchor has been a game-changer for how I present proposals and manage client engagements. The platform is clean, intuitive, and professional. It makes sending, tracking, and getting approvals effortless. I especially appreciate how customizable and client-friendly the proposals are, which has helped me land new projects with more confidence. Highly recommend for any service-based business looking to streamline their proposal process. > > **Cons**: My main frustration is the limited flexibility in formatting or layout control. Sometimes I wish I could tweak sections more freely. A bit more control here would make a big difference in creating more tailored proposals. That said, the team has been responsive to feedback and continues to improve the platform. Overall, I’d still highly recommend it to any service provider looking for a polished, streamlined proposal experience. ----- ### "Streamlined Contracts and Payments for Bookkeepers" — 5.0/5 > **Maggie** | *22 August 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Anchor makes client management seamless by combining contracts, proposals, and payments into one platform. I really appreciate how professional the proposals and agreements look, and the fact that I can automate so much of the onboarding process. It saves me time and creates a polished, streamlined experience for my clients. > > **Cons**: By default, Anchor sets payments to credit card processing, which passes the processing fee on to the client. While it’s very easy to switch to free ACH transfers, many clients miss this during setup. I’ve created a Loom video to walk clients through the process, but I wish the default setup made ACH the more visible option. > > Overall, Anchor has been an excellent addition to my business. It has helped me manage proposals and contracts professionally while automating payments in a way that reduces administrative work. My clients appreciate the clarity of the agreements, and I appreciate the peace of mind of having everything in one place. With a few small tweaks, it could be nearly perfect, but even as it is, I’d highly recommend it to other service-based business owners. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/530167/Anchor?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/530167/Anchor) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
