Walker S.: Hi, my name is Walker. I'm the owner of Walker Solutions, and I give Financial Cents a four out of five. Before Financial Cents, I was doing everything manually myself or I hired people to do it, such as write emails. The document management system, I had to figure it out by myself or have someone else organize it. It was just costing me a lot of money and time. I chose Financial Cents because of the convenience. At the time, I had been trying a bunch of different project management softwares, but it was getting down to the wire of tax season, which is the busy season for my business approaching. So I did a demo with a representative from Financial Cents, and I really liked the ease of just having all of my clients be able to upload it, and I didn't have to do too much to just get started and just to get this thing going. Getting started with Financial Cents, the toughest part was getting together the listing of my clients and having them in that Excel. So I had to have an admin do that for me. We had already been working on that prior to starting with Financial Cents, but it was the easiest to do the upload. So that did take some time. But once that was done, it was easy to look through the system to see what's here. Because I did the demo, I did know some of the capabilities and know where things were. I do like that there was tutorial videos for my assistant to look at if I didn't have time to do anything. The templates for the customers, the clients, they were the best, honestly. The advice that I would give to other business owners or anyone looking to implement Financial Cents, I would definitely say, really check out the integrations because, for me, there were some programs that I didn't have or I wasn't fully using before, but I had to start using them once I boarded onto Financial Cents because they ease in the integration. For example, the signatures. Before, I was doing a different way to get signatures, but now I have Adobe Sign, which is very easy to use and it's very easily integrable with Financial Cents. It was nice, but I only got that because of the integration with Financial Cents. So if you already have programs that you use, I would really just make sure that they can integrate well with Financial Cents because you don't want to have to get something you didn't have before or switch something up too much and it doesn't work for you.
