Director Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Kashoo - easy to use and does the job." December 29, 2024 4.0 A very pleasant experience and an easy learning curve. Pros I purchased Kashoo on a LTD with Appsumo a few years back. It is a great piece of software, handling your accounts and bank feeds splendidly. It's easy to get used to and you can be sure your records will be accurate for those that want to see them. Cons I was not doing VAT in the early days, so not sure how Kashoo handles this. My new accountant uses a different package, so had to move across to that—otherwise, not a problem to have carried on. Review Source ML Michael L. President Oil & Energy Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very good for what it does, and customer support is fantastic" July 1, 2019 5.0 Good, but needs additional functionality to be super! Pros It is simple and straightforward, and gives me generally what I need. Cons I really, really need the ability to do more than just 'Projects'. I really need to be able to nest 'Projects' or use categories and classes like Quickbooks. Plus, I need to get my data into a spreadsheet much more easily. Switched from [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) Quickbooks cost too much and support was horrible. Review Source BM Bill M. Owner Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not good" September 23, 2021 2.0 Where do I even begin? Kashoo’s bank feeds fro my credit card show up in USD, even though the card is CAD. They had no fix for this, so the feed became largely useless. When I purchased the software on a lifetime deal, I was told I would be able to upgrade to Kashoo 2.0, an upgraded and improved product, complete with machine learning for automatic categorization of imported transactions. As it stands, Kashoo is quite clumsy and time-consuming to use. Each transaction has to be manually dealt with; there are no features that allow bulk or automatic categorization. Kashoo 2.0 materialized for a brief period, and then became Trulysmall. When I finally requested to have my subscription transferred, I was told that wasn’t an option. Without major upgrades, Kashoo is unbearable to use. Stick to the other tried and true options out there. They might cost more, but surely an additional 5-10 hours of your time per month is worth the extra $10-20 you’ll pay to get real accounting software. Pros It's inexpensive, that's about it, it's not good. Cons Clunky, lacks many features of its competitors, time-consuming, bank feeds don't always work Review Source DN Dan N. Owner Law Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "If you don't want to pay for Quickbooks, look at Kashoo" September 11, 2019 4.0 I needed to run financial statements and reports my previous software could not generate. I am happy with Kashoo and would recommend it to anyone that is looking for an alternative to QB. Pros I was able to score a deal on this software, but I had been looking for a new accounting software for sometimes. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time. I really like the bank syncing (which nearly all software provides) and the ability to add users (add your bookkeeping, accountant, etc) and limit their privileges. Cons Not really their fault, but the big player in this game is Quickbooks, and nearly all professionals know how to use QBs. It was a bit harder to find someone familiar with Kashoo, but after that hurdle was over, the software works pretty well. Reason for choosing Kashoo Pricing and features. Review Source AR Aryana R. Founder Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I love Kashoo's Customer Support" November 20, 2020 4.0 Their customer support and that it is cloud-based. The price is excellent. It is easy to set up a Chart of Accounts too. It important my transactions from my bank and CC is easy. That I can't create import rules. I would change the category but Kashoo wouldn't memorize it. Quicken enables you to create memorized categories. Pros Their customer support and that it is cloud-based. The price is excellent. It is easy to set up a Chart of Accounts too. It important my transactions from my bank and CC is easy. Cons That I can't create import rules. I would change the category but Kashoo wouldn't memorize it. Quicken enables you to create memorized categories. Switched from [Quicken](https://www.capterra.com/p/151854/Quicken/) Quicken's importing of transactions was failing. Review Source Ken I.

May 7, 2019 5.0 The company is very responsive and the software / apps have been solid. Kashoo is my third (and final) accounting software service purchase. Pros Here's the thing - I HATE accounting & bookkeeping. So I want to spend the least amount of time doing it. And, I want to spend even less time doing taxes. Several years ago, I researched all of the solutions out there, yeah QB too... but I dreaded a steep learning curve and wanted something accurate - and portable. Kashoo has the app for my phone & tablet so I can whip out an invoice real quick while visiting clients. It downloads from my bank just like the other big names, and even has an option to accept credit cards from my clients. It's really powerful, and if you're a numbers geek you'll have fun with all of the options. But for me - it just works. Online or app - I don't wonder about my numbers anymore, nor do I waste a bunch of time. And they do regular webinars which are actually quite interesting. Almost makes me want to do my bookkeeping. Almost. lol. Cons There's really not a lot to dislike about the software, and the support staff is great. If I could change anything, I'd have them move their headquarters from Canada to the U.S. ;) Review Source Leslie R. Owner Farming Used the software for: 2+ years ### "love the user interface and chat feature!" April 2, 2019 5.0 When I first started my horticulture business (capterra- why is horticulture or even landscaping, not an industry option?!?) I kept books on paper and had to learn book keeping from the IRS website and other online (free) resources. When I decided that I really wanted to go digital, I tried multiple online book keeping softwares before finally settling on Kashoo. My experience has been really great! Every time I have a question it has been either easily answered through the online tutorials or by using the Kashoo chat feature. Even when I make a stupid mistake, customer service always seems happy to help me unravel and correct it. For comparison, another organization that I was on the board of uses quick books and every time I had to use it I was more greatful for Kashoo! For someone who didn’t learn book keeping on quick books- looking through the accounts to find the information I need on Kashoo is so much more intuitive. Pros Ability to view accounts, excellent customer service, helpful tutorials Cons for me there really haven’t been any cons. That said, my accountant had never heard of it- not really a problem, just disappointing to me, and of course I would love to pay nothing for bookkeeping 😉 Review Source Geoff C. President Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Kashoo Much better than some of other choices" July 16, 2021 5.0 My overall experience has been great. I paid one time and eliminated any monthly payments. It is very reasonable for the price and works as well as high-end programs. Pros it is very inexpensive and it takes care of everything that I need to be done from accounting software. Cons It can be difficult to download transactions so they can be accounted for in the business. However, it is still very efficient. Review Source Dave V. Founder and Arts Chaplain Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Canadian Accounting software" September 7, 2018 5.0 I've used Kashoo to track my finances as a professional musician for a few years now and it has never let me down. It's very fast to get in and out and do what I need to do. I love being able to support a Canadian company, in Canadian dollars :) Support has been very responsive when I've needed it. Pros Kashoo is very clean and lightweight. Not flashy, but that makes navigating the web app and iPhone app snappy. Cons Lacks some of the bells and whistles of the 'big boys' in this space - like integrations with other services. That's not something I need right now, but could be useful in the future. Kashoo's design can seem lacklustre at first. There's power in that, but it's not nearly as friendly-looking as Freshbooks, for example. Review Source Kimberly C. Writer/Editor Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Kashoo makes my CPA happy" September 27, 2020 5.0 I use Kashoo daily to keep track of my business income, expenses, and invoicing. Pros Kashoo is easy to use. It's easy to invoice my clients by sending them invoices directly via Kashoo. It's recommended by my CPA and the reports make him happy. Cons I would love to be able to set up recurring invoices but Kashoo doesn't offer recurring invoices. Maybe in future? Review Source RD Rick D. Co-Owner Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfection (Almost)" June 24, 2019 5.0 We absolutely couldn't run our business as efficiently as we do without Kashoo. It allows us to be agile and respond to our customers' needs in an instant if necessary. We've had many of our larger customers ask us if we could help some of their other vendors to get better organized. With the help of Kashoo, we've set the bar for others to reach. Pros We've been using Kashoo for many years. The ease of use is amazing. We know exactly what is happening in our business at any given moment. Although we typically don't use the mobile apps, they are useful if your business model is more suited to mobile. The web app is solid. Uptime is impressive. Support is quick and thorough. Most users wouldn't notice but when you get a bit outside the box you're going to need some assistance from the support team. Some tasks are quite involved when you get past the ordinary. No worries though, the support team is there to guide you through. What we like most is the flexibility of the software and the multi-user capability. Cons Dealing with vendor credits is a pain when you pay by cheque. We would really like to have some inventory control tied into invoices. The new statement feature is nice but we would like to have control over the fields displayed in the report. In particular, we would like to be able to have our customers' PO numbers listed so that they can more easily cross reference our invoices. Review Source VH Vivek H. Founder Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Superb, snappy, comprehensive!" August 21, 2016 5.0 When I set up my business 5 years ago I knew I would need an easy-to-use accounting system. As an accountant myself I needed one with all the bells and whistles, and as a business owner I needed one that was easy to use from anywhere and fast and flexible. After experimenting with a number of unhappy options, I stumbled across Kashoo and it was love at first sight. Pros Clean, snappy interface; support for serious accounting (adjustments, transfers, trial balance, general ledger, supporting documents) over and above simple receipts and payments; cloud-based & browser-based so allows me access from anywhere and peace of mind regarding data security and backups. And I can share it all with my auditor sitting miles away at his Windoze PC so he doesn't have to take up space in my home office, where I happily update Kashoo using my iMac :) Cons Maybe a tad more support for drag-and-drop would be nice as would the ability to open it in multiple windows so I can cross-check and tally stuff a bit easier than going backward and forward in the same browser window. Review Source BA Brandi A. Owner Cosmetics Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Kashoo" July 30, 2023 5.0 Pros I like that you can attach your bank account and see all transactions in the inbox. It makes it easier than having to navigate my banking app as well Cons The integration is a problem for me. If they could expand how many apps they can integrate with, it would be helpful. Review Source KO Ken O. CFO Restaurants Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Basic Software at Economical Price" June 27, 2019 5.0 We are running a seasonal fast service restaurant with 20 employees with a pretty simple chart of accounts. I use QuickBooks Online for other businesses but I was looking for something less costly which integrates well with our Square POS terminal. Kashoo does a great job with Square and it is less than half the price of QBO, but with commensurately less functionality. Pros 1) Automatically lists the latest entries in income or expenses or other accounts if you select them. 2) Easy to learn and to get going 3) Excellent integration with Square allowing you to run detailed excel reports to slice and dice your Square transactions to your heart's content. Cons 1) Bank account transaction matching is cumbersome and a bit clunky. The top half of the page is what you've matched, and the bottom half are all the entries in Kashoo INCLUDING matched ones. The bottom half should really be just the unmatched entries. 1a) You can't run a report on matched or unmatched entries and if you select or download the bank account account it does not tell you which entries are matched. 2) It won't add up sub accounts on an income statement 3) In general, if you want to run reports the answer is excel, but excel isn't that bad: it's just a pain to dump it, format it, sort it , etc. Reason for choosing Kashoo Price / performance / Square Integration.

Pros Management of project expenses, payroll expenses & cashflow management are so simple to use with Kashoo. Cons Using invoicing system and tax implementation for countries outside US is not that friendly. Review Source DG Deborah G. CEO Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great accounting program, easy to learn and use, but report formatting needs a lot of work." January 22, 2019 4.0 I know that the look of reports is not a top priority in accounting software, but a clean, professional look does matter to me. I have been advised by Kashoo that they are working on them but it has been months now and nothing has been fixed. If it wasn't for this issue, the software would get a 5/5 from me. I really like using the program and don't want to switch to something else. Pros Has everything I need to run my small business Easy to learn and use, not a huge learning curve Canadian product! Cons Data entry requires a lot of scrolling up and down Report formatting really needs work: - Accounts are not in numerical order - Columns don't line up - Some reports have no title or date range, I have to add them manually (statements and ledger) - Font headers are huge and can't be adjusted, creating way more pages than needed - No way to adjust page sizing (often get one line on a second page when it would easily fit on the first) - Report templates are not customizable, they can only be fixed by Kashoo. Review Source SO Stuart O. CEO Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very easy to use." January 24, 2017 5.0 Very intuitive software. I have been a CPA for over 40 years. Great for clients "on the go" to maintain accurate records. I use it for all my own personal use as well. Pros Portability, ease of use. Cons Would like to see more selectivity in reports. Review Source Response from Kashoo January 30, 2017 Stuart, Thanks for the review. I am going to reach out to you directly to find out what is happening with your log-in process it should be a few seconds at most. KG Kent G. Consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Kashoo Accounting Provides Adequate Solution" November 2, 2018 3.0 Overall Kashoo does a pretty fair job. It served its purpose for about a year but was ultimately replace with a more feature-rich package. Pros I liked the fact that Kashoo is an online solution and could be accessed from anywhere. The interface was fairly intuitive and easy to follow in most places. Cons Kashoo is a fairly good solution for online invoicing and billing but for the price lacks some of the features that you would expect. Review Source LM Linda M. Counsellor/Psychotherapist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Limitations" April 2, 2019 2.0 Pros Printed invoices are clear, but do not show payments made from different sources, therefore, of limited usefulness for clients wishing to access funding through two different EAP/benefit plans. Cons Printed invoices do not show payments made from different sources, therefore, of limited usefulness for clients wishing to access funding through two different EAP/benefit plans.

I can see what the goal was, but I think things like renaming receivables to "unpaid invoices" for example is less clear, and a bit silly. Review Source HC Harmik C. Owner Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Software for small businesses" June 25, 2019 4.0 Pros I like how easy it is to use on a day to day basis. It is very user friendly and easy for anyone to pick up. The customer service has also been outstanding! Cons It currently doesn't have the ability to link creditcards which would be awesome as some of my clients grow. I think it's a feature that's coming however Review Source VR Verified Reviewer SEO Outreach Manager Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "It works but looking at it is a pain." June 25, 2019 4.0 Overall, it works and does what it says it's supposed to do, but as shallow as it sounds, the UI is just so hard to get past. Also, invoices do not look nice. The whole app looks like it's stuck in 2006. Pros It is accounting software that does exactly what the intent is, with some other added features like invoicing. Cons The UI is, in my opinion, one of the ugliest UIs I've ever seen. It makes me not even want to use it.

Owner Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "SO FAR SO GOOD WITH KASHOO !" April 2, 2019 5.0 I am hoping we will have an easier time keeping all my accounts in order with Kashoo. Having the ability to keep separate companies on one platform that is affordable makes me much happier. Pros I think it is a fairly straight forward program. Simple to use once you get the trial balance into the program. We like the auto download function for the bank statements and credit card. Because the cost of the program is so affordable I am able to use Kashoo for both my real estate businesse and my property management company. I wasn't able to afford it with Quickbooks! My accountant and bookkeeper are much happier with Kashoo than with Quickbooks. Cons My bookkeeper has commented that Kashoo will allow a reconcilation even though the numbers do not balance with the statement. The reconcilation needs to match the final statement. So far she and customer service have not been able to resolve this issue. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Music Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good Software Overall " July 1, 2019 4.0 It's great to have a centralised place to track and record all your bookkeeping which will make the year end much easier. Pros Great integration with Stripe conveniently invoice clients directly from the software Cons Limited selection of invoice templates that are horrible looking and not easily branded with your company logos .The account codes in the accounting ledger have to be changed manually if you want to align with your countries standardization.

President Used the software for: ### "Kashoo changed the way I manage my business finances" October 9, 2015 5.0 It's hard to get into specifics as to what Kashoo did "right", simply because it just works perfectly overall, all the time. The speed of the online service is constant and fast. The regular webinars help me make sure I use the system properly and efficiently.
