Speaker 1: I am Jaydra and I am the president and owner of a forensic accounting firm and a tax accounting practice, and I give FunctionFox five out of five. Before using FunctionFox, we were using QuickBooks Time and we switched to FunctionFox from that. In the process of making the decision, we considered several other options and ultimately landed on FunctionFox. We chose FunctionFox ultimately because it was the least complicated of all of the options. It had a simple, easy to use format that was really intuitive and didn't have excess clutter or extra steps that didn't have any added value to the using of the software. And because it's an online application, so it can be accessed from anywhere at any time, either on the mobile app or through the web app. And it doesn't matter what kind of software system you have. If you have the internet, you can access FunctionFox. Getting started with FunctionFox was really great. The onboarding was a wonderful experience. We got assigned a person from FunctionFox who walked us through the whole process of transferring data over if we wanted to do that, and getting all of our users set up and assigning them permissions so that we could have the admin folks with their admin permissions and all of my staff with their regular employee permissions. And then we also used it for a couple of weeks and then had another session with the onboarding assistant person who walked us through some of the challenges that we've been having and helped us learn how to use this software in ways that we didn't understand before. For anyone else who's considering using FunctionFox, I highly recommend it and I would offer to you that one of my favorite things about FunctionFox is that my staff loves it. So as a business owner, it's important to have tools that are functional and that work all the time without giving you a lot of weird technical blips and also that are easy for your staff to pick up and use without having to spend a whole lot of time training them on the intricacies or particularities of a product. And it also saves a whole bunch of time because you can drill down three levels into the timekeeping that you're doing. So within each type of project that you're working, you can assign preset tasks that are common. So if you don't want to have to continuously type the same note over and over again if you're checking email or calling clients or reviewing documents or something that you'd have to type over and over again, it's nice that you can just pick that from a dropdown list when you're using FunctionFox.
