AccountEdge Erfahrungen

Easy and customizable

Kommentare: Wonderful. I have been using it since 1992. And my CPA loves the reports I generate at the end of the year, it makes figuring up my taxes really easy for him because I can add different expense/income categories and customize it for certain deductions.

Vorteile:

I have used this software since 1992, when it was called MYOB. It's easy to use, and has all the help you need right in the software. The categories are customizable, and you can easily make edits . you can also generate customized reports.

Nachteile:

When I am entering a new customer, I would like to have more options on the main screen, such as the initial customer date and notes instead of having multiple screens to click through, it would make it easier to be able to see all the data on one screen.

The best one for the accounting & development financial of the company, i love it..!

Kommentare: They are no problems about it , in my experience with the application is a good way for respect your financial ways

Vorteile:

By AccountEdge any one can learn the best way for accounting his business management, it’s a good thing for analyzing financial services

Nachteile:

It’s good for his skills, the way for using is a better ways ..!

The real Cost of AccountEdge is in Payments Processing

Kommentare: I'm a consultant that works with multiple AccountEdge users. It's important to know that there is an agreement between AccountEdge and Forte to share payments processing revenue. Forte will tell its customers that the rates are competitive but they simply are not. There are customers paying over 2% over market rates. Moreover, your rates will go up over time and because you integrated the payments you will be forced to pay the increases. If you are considering AccountEdge because of features you like go ahead and buy it but leave your payments processing non-integrated and choose a payments processing provider you trust

Vorteile:

I'm focused more on the payments processing and warning prospective buyers on the downside of the exclusive arrangement between AccountEdge and Forte

Nachteile:

AccountEdge/Forte Payments processing, IMHO leaves the user open to price gouging for credit card processing ,

Allow Time for Manual Entries

Kommentare: Fine for a small business with employees, but requires a ton of manual entry., even with a subscription that costs hundreds of dollars per year.

Vorteile:

I like the ease of use, clean interface, payroll liability payments and other features, like recurring transactions, that are similar to Quickbooks. Price is fair and support is helpful. I like that you can attach documents, but if their location is moved, its no longer accessible within AccountEdge.

Nachteile:

Not online or bank feed friendly, no full-service payroll option. Report customization is extremely lacking.

Longtime user. Could be better, but has been solid for us.

Kommentare: Generally good. Been using it for over a decade and it meets the needs of our publishing and consulting business just fine.

Vorteile:

Fairly customizable to meet our unique needs. Love that payroll and inventory tracking are built in, not some extra service. Also tax forms (which are an additional fee), and credit card processing (but would be nice to use Stripe instead). Just added kits for inventory, which is long overdue. Basically it's one stop shop for us and meets all accounting, inventory, POS needs for phone sales.

Nachteile:

That it is not an entirely online software solution so that we could easily (at no extra cost) access and work with data anywhere. That it does not integrate seamlessly with our ecommerce software (only works with Shopify, which is a more expensive and less flexible option than Bigcommerce). The tax form should integrate more seamlessly and be part of the monthly support fee.

Don't use for more than one year

Kommentare: Sadly, we started with the precursor and now, unless we want to redo our entire bookkeeping, inventory, customer list, and vendor list, we're stuck with this software.

Vorteile:

I'm stuck with it. We started with a much earlier version.

Nachteile:

Trying to find prior years' transactions is costly and a huge pain.

Always Improving

Kommentare: Been using AccountEdge Pro for 12 years and I’m completely satisfied with this product.

Vorteile:

Works great for us Mac users and the features improve with every upgrade.

Nachteile:

Have to customize forms with every upgrade.

very good overall

Kommentare: i believe the key word is "control" of the business finances through generally simple, user-friendly management of income, expenses, financial reports and tax preparations for the accounting firm.

Vorteile:

generally user-friendly even for those like I who are not accounting-knowledgeable, good, patient, friendly accounting/tech support. although MYOB ownership and name has changed over the years, service quality, continuity and evolution has been smooth and positive.

Nachteile:

a little expensive for a single person business and a couple of times there have been two situations where accounting support instructions to solution have not worked - albeit only twice over all these years.

AccountEdge Pro

Kommentare: See above

Vorteile:

I bought the original software a long time ago because it was Mac based. I am only a Mac user.

Nachteile:

I wish the decimal point floated. I know that that sounds silly but it would be nice. Plus, there needs to be a better way to put in "online" payments in check book. I only use checkbook and payroll. All the rest is a waste for me.

AccountEdge Pro is disappointing

Kommentare: After 6 months of entering data and setting up information, we are still unable to use due to program conflict issues. Every issue takes days to receive response and few are corrected

Vorteile:

One time purchase for program except for payroll. Reasonable cost.

Nachteile:

Far too complex to evaluate in 30 days. Too many issues not covered by online videos. No documentation manual provided. Poor customer support with issues. Unable to input payroll tax tables manually.

Best accounting software out there!

Kommentare: I've used several different accounting programs and am forced to use two others right now at different clients, and AccountEdge wins hands down. I can do so much more, in a logical and intelligent way, than with the other programs: reports, searches, even simple transactions like checks, deposits, journal entries--they all make much more sense in AccountEdge.

Vorteile:

It makes sense--the reports and searches are logical and easy to figure out. It's easy to find your way around. It can keep you from making stupid mistakes like duplicating a vendor or customer card, but if you do, you can merge the cards. The check and invoice forms are completely customizable.

Nachteile:

I didn't like having to open old data files to get information from prior years, but now the program allows you to keep transactions from the last eight years, I believe. I still have to restore old files from time to time, though.

AccountEdge for Mac

Kommentare: AccountEdge is a solid Accounting System, however, the Paid support is lacking. The support Staff are not overly familiar with the product they are supposed to be supporting, and you are put on hold constantly why they "research" your issue.

Vorteile:

AccountEdge for Mac is a solid Accounting Program. It allows me to keep track of everything financially related to my company. It also allows me to do my own Payroll, which is helpful.

Nachteile:

The product does not support iOS devices very well. It has not updated its AccountEdge for iPhone application to keep up with its competitors. My Personal iBank iPhone application integrates seamlessly to my Desktop program, allowing me to keep track of my finances in real time, on the go.

support by email non existent

Kommentare: fair

Vorteile:

somewhat user freidly, difficult to adjust the programs

Nachteile:

knowledge base not elaborate enough, very disappointed with service after sale

user since 1994

Kommentare: they have always taken good care of us

Vorteile:

works perfectly, info desk had quick and complete solutions

Nachteile:

less well known, i have "brand name envy" because i use a lesser known program

Everything I need to mange my small business accounting needs

Kommentare: I like the ease of use and that certain features are very versatile , like I can create an invoice for either a service or an “item” sale and switch back and forth with ease. The software even recognizes the difference between when I’m paying a utility bill and purchasing inventory and will ask me to switch modules if I need to.

Vorteile:

AccountEdge Pro is easy to set up, execute and expand. I recently added the payroll feature. By doing this I will be saving money by not having to hire a professional to handle my small business payroll. The modules are easy to understand as is the connectivity between features. There is a lot of support available that is either free or doesn’t add a huge expense to my bottom line.

Nachteile:

There isn’t much I don’t like about this software. I’ve been using AccountEdge for close to 20years and have never thought of replacing it.

Great software

Kommentare: It's been great and will continue to use the software for many years.

Vorteile:

I've been using Accountedge since it was MYOB. The software is easy to move around and learn even for someone who's never used an accounting program before.

Nachteile:

No availability, like a competitor, to have access online especially when it would come to scanning and saving an invoice (online) so it doesn't use up your personal harddrive in the event of a crash as well.

Perfect fit for our non-profit organization

Kommentare: AccountEdge Pro is perfect for our small non-profit organization. It is very user friendly. I especially love how fast I can make and customize reports. Processing payroll and making deposits are virtually effortless, which I appreciate. This will be our fourth year with the software and we have never had any issues. Customer service is always prompt and willing to help in any way. We highly recommend this accounting software.

Vorteile:

I like how easy it is to customize in order to fit our specific needs.

Why I chose AccountEdge Pro for my business

Vorteile:

I am co-owner of a small Texas business, and am responsible for keeping the books for our business. I was not a business major in school, so was looking for a system that would be relatively simple to use, but robust enough to meet our booking needs. I also wanted something that did not require me to be in the "cloud", and was Mac friendly, and AccountEdge Pro has met all these needs.

Nachteile:

There are more bells and whistles than I need, but ultimately I found the functions I wanted and am very happy with AccountEdge Pro.

Overall good product but not my favorite

Vorteile:

Worked with AccountEdge for some time but previously I had worked with Peachtree Sage 2010 software and by far Peachtree won the best of me. Account Edge is good as a "get-it-done" software, simple rounded to get you what you need, but in order to rely on the software for the long run is not recommended.

Nachteile:

We got messed up by one of the updates the software made and started having blanks in our records, and noticed the update wiped out the recent information we had put in the system. Thank goodness we had updated not so long before so we didn't lose anything important but after that situation we decided to cancel our account with Account Edge and try Quickbooks for a change.

Great overall Accounting Software!

Kommentare: Overall very good accounting software. We've used it from the very beginning when it was MYOB. It's nice to see it keep getting better and better!

Vorteile:

Great payroll tools and inventory management

Nachteile:

Needs more in depth client management/contact. Also would like inventory ability to combine products for price breaks and more price break columns

Using for over 20 years

Kommentare: We have been using Accountedge for so long and have been very happy with the improvements and updates

Vorteile:

Ease of use, low cost, very robust, multiuser, quick response, secure, excellent support and accessibility.

Nachteile:

There is nothing for us to complain about with this software

Solid Accounting platform

Kommentare: Major benefit is keeping track of expenses and tracking income and employee stats.

Vorteile:

Easy of use and set up. Ability to run needed reports and do taxes in house.

Nachteile:

Invoices look a little outdated. Could use some improvements.

Frequent updates. Updates resulted in recording data. Had to cancel today. Very cold reception by customer service. No Refunds

Kommentare: My bookeeper loved this program and we had it on but it disrupted data entry with one of the updates. Account edge refused to consider our dilemma offering no solutions for the present or future.

Vorteile:

Takes a bit to get used to. However this is one program which is yours to own. Data entry and recorded entries easy to find

Nachteile:

Updates caused us problems. Automated renewal without consent is not fair. Poor customer service. No phone in customer service. Emailed replies and concerns misunderstood often. Very pushy on using their online store facilitation.

I'm loving it.

Kommentare: AccountEdge Pro has everything you could possibly want in an accounting software and more. There is a bit of a learning curve to it, but the online tutorials and step-by-step help answers have walked me through almost every problem I've encountered thus far. Now that I'm using AccountEdge Pro regularly, I am able to look at my business' numbers and make financial decisions in an instant without having to guess about where we stand financially and what we can expect coming up.

Vorteile:

AccountEdge Pro has everything I need and then some. No matter how big my business grows, I have confidence that AEPro will be able to accommodate me.

Nachteile:

The learning curve can be steep. Some vocabulary is slightly different than what I'm used to using, so finding relevant answers in the help center sometimes takes a bit of creativity. Once the correct topic has been found, however, the answers are extremely easy to follow.

Fantastic Software for smaller companies

Kommentare: I used it since it was MYOB and it has never let me down.

Vorteile:

Ease of use; Drill down capabilities; Multiple reports This program is ideal for a "simple" operation. That is, one location, even if it has multiple services and products. It can handle multiple companies, but if you are a conglomerate with 3+ locations and require consolidated statements, this will not due. It's AR,AP, payroll and billing functions are sufficient and I've never had data corruption issues.

Nachteile:

Nothing I have come across, but this is great software for a simple GL. You can have tons of accounts, but if you want departments or cost centres, it becomes a bit more tricky. I will advise you can only keep 3 years of data on it Depending on what you do, you may prefer the ability to drill down 5-10 years in your history..
