### "Great Accounting Solution for small businesses"

March 16, 2020

5.0

Pros

I would say affordability then ease of use. Since my business is still growing I had to switch to this product from another one and I haven't regretted. Invoicing has never been easier.

Cons

I am yet to see anything I don't like about this product

### "Highly Recommended!"

October 18, 2025

5.0

Other than the inability to add Reference Codes to invoices via the app, I find working on Reckon to be a joy and very intuitive. Any questions and I can chat with highly trained staff who can help me, on the spot, with any queries. Your business is lacking without Reckon.

Pros

The security on Reckon is top notch. Not only do you need your 6 code verification code, sent to your chosen number, but also the passcode for your machine, stopping anyone from accessing your businesses account. Creating Financial reports, BAS, etc, are easy and smooth. It is definitely excellent value for money. Being able to see your business financial health, live, is a huge help in purchasing goods for the services we provide. If you've had any experience with MYOB or Xero, you'll find this seamless. On start up you do have tutorials that help you learn how to use it and also online help with the staff at Reckon.

Cons

It would be great if we could input a Reference Code on Invoices on the App. Currently there is no away to do this, so I have to bring out the laptop in order to enter reference codes on the invoices I send out.

April 21, 2026

5.0

I am really happy with Rekon and the customer support. It offers great reports that make integration from the accountant to the mangers really easy.

Pros

I like that rekon is so clear and easy to understand. the support staff and easy to contact and always happy to help.

Cons

Because we have used rekon for a long time we have a large file and we found it sometimes quite slow to load.

April 2, 2024

3.0

Phone support seems to have improved a lot which is very important to me.

Pros

### "Patient assistance with software"

January 9, 2026

5.0

Very positive experience every time I’ve contacted Reckon. I have rang several times over the last two days concerning the installation of software for other users in my account for a new project that we are doing. It’s not appropriate that we use Reckon on Line or QuickBooks online because the project is being managed from in the middle of the jungle in Bougainville Where Internet connection is not certain.

Pros

I like the promptness with which the telephone was answered and the attention given to me by the person from record \[sensitive content hidden\] in this case but others before him.

Cons

I don’t understand all the activation codes and verification codes in half the time. I don’t know what I’m doing because it’s written in IT personal language and I’m sn old age pensioner.

Great experience, even if I have a query the online chat and help are quick and easy to contact. No compliants from my customers either, so win win

Pros

Reckon one has everything I need to operate my small business so I cant really think of anything I don't like. It suits me well

### "Very user Friendly"

October 14, 2025

5.0

The overall experience is very good. The migration team and reckon team worked in a well coordinated way and complete the task ontime.

Pros

The user interface is very easy to use and self explanatory. The reports are very easy to generate and customisable at any given point of time. Automatic leave loading setup helps to avoid any mistakes.

Cons

The payslips aren't showing acurred leaves per pay run. All payslips of a single pay run as a single pdf so that we can download and send to superiors.

### "Improve your accounting life!"

August 2, 2025

5.0

I am finding it very intuitive and I am enjoying using it. The help available is very good with videos and Reckon community as well as the normal help buttons.

Pros

The ease with which I could make the transition from the computer based Accounts software to the cloud based Reckon One software. The really helpful support from Reckon was very good!

Cons

The fact that I couldn’t change the financial year of the company myself. The Book was set up by Reckon assuming the standard financial year. That book had to be cancelled and another created with my actual financial year and migration started all over again. The process took twice as long as it should have!

Wanted to be able to have multiple users and it is much cheaper. Also it is backed up on the cloud and annual updates are done so I don’t have to.

### "Good support for the timid user"

April 8, 2026

5.0

Overall, Reckon One is a reliable, consistent and supporting software. Always reachable even in off time, e.g. night-time, weekend and even Public Holidays.

Pros

Good support including 24hr Chat, phone number 1 300 to call to real person as well as AI chat assistance. Call back even on Sunday or Saturday. Always follow up and have ACCESS to my Book to rectify errors/data

Cons

The design to click from one screen to another is sometimes HARD to find. Either because they are TOO small or not BOLD enough. Some button e.g. Start to learn is block the Delete buttion.

### "Reckon's Assessment review"

June 5, 2024

4.0

After years and experience with other similar software I still see Quickbooks, Intuit or Reckon by which ever name as more toward top of the range.

Pros

Functionality and features. Stock Management in particular.

Cons

Some areas where guides or instruction need work to better inform the user. So called popular information might be so for the programmer but more work needs to be done to address content in context with user interpretation and capability.

Reason for choosing Reckon One

Decades of experience starting well back with Quickbooks stand alone where licensing was the only option.

Overall reckon is an excellent product which I enjoy using especially the reporting features

Pros

Reckon reporting is excellent and flexible to tailoring

At time the intuitive feature of Reckon catches me out, I constantly need to watch for this as sometimes a transaction that I repeat may need to be entered to a different GL code or tax code etc
