Patrick S.: Hi, I'm Patrick. I'm the owner of this business. I've been using Zoho Books for about five years, and I give it five out of five stars. It's a fantastic product and I highly recommend it. For more reviews, click here. I use Zoho Books to help me run my business and monitor the day-to-day financials of money coming in and money going out. Helps me be more productive. What I like most about Zoho Books is its ease of use and it seamlessly integrates with my other Zoho products, like my Zoho CRM. What I dislike, there's not really much to dislike, other than doing your financials is not the most fun thing about running a business. But I guess everybody else can say the same thing.
