OUR LIMITATIONS

OUR LIMITATIONS

 

We believe in transparency and matching solutions to the needs of businesses. Our products are especially designed for small businesses, early startups and entrepreneurs who don’t yet need all the bells and whistles of leading online subscription services. As businesses grow, so will their financial needs and there are more comprehensive (and more expensive) solutions for businesses of those sizes and complexities. If you need services we do not offer, we encourage you to explore many of the wonderful subscription-based online financial accounting and financial management solutions available, some of which we break down comparisons against in the Brand Comparison table.

NO AUDIT OR TAX SUPPORT

Do not choose us if you are looking for a professional accounting service that offers auditing assistance, tax assistance or regulation advice for your industry or country of operation.

NO AI SUPPORT

Do not choose us if you want AI agents to help edit or analyze your data. With us, you retain full control of your data and edits, no surprises.

NO API CONNECTIONS

Do not choose us if you want to be able to directly connect with other applications and online services such as banking or payroll for advanced automation.

NO MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION

Do not choose us if you want the added user security features of online services such as multi-factor authentication (SMS codes, authenticator app codes, email codes, etc).

REQUIRES EXCEL

Do not choose us if you do not want to use Excel-based tools. Our products are built in Excel to provide the greatest functionality, accessibility and compatibility for the majority of users worldwide.  

not for LARGE BUSINESSES

Do not choose us if you are looking for a financial system to handle the complex needs of larger, more established businesses. As businesses grow, so does their need to invest in more advanced, automated and integrated financial systems to facilitate that growth.
