Profitbooks- A great tool for businesses starting out and beginning to grow.

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: I have found a one stop solution for invoicing and product inventory management with Profitbooks. They have a view only mobile app that helps me keep track of my business sales as well. I am very satisfied with this product! Kudos.

Pros:

The invoicing and estimate features of Profitbooks are smooth beyond a doubt. Adding new services, products and clients to the system is exceptionally easy as well. The design of the invoice is professional and clean, and you can incorporate all necessary legal details into the invoice and then export according to your preference.

Cons:

Advanced customization including font changes, further design changes would be appreciated. Drag and drop instead of click only would also be a welcome bonus.

Excellent Software

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall the software is very good. A person without knowledge of accounting can also operate.

Pros:

Easy to use and to set-up. Best part is that it is cloud-based, hence need not to install or upgrade and can be accessed from any device. All new features are added at the back end and can be accessed without any step at the user-end. Also the security checks are maintained to refrain unauthorized login.

Cons:

Reports cannot be customized as of now. May be in near future this feature can be added.

Pros:

Its simplicity. It has a very user friendly interface but packs in a lot of functionality. Love the data thats displayed in the home screen.

Being able to add and amend products. Different categories, being able to insert my info that I want displayed on my invoices. Although I don't use the functions, being able to keep track of purchases, expenses, clients, suppliers,, stock, payments received/outstanding

Cons:

I am not able to make small amendments to my personal info that I want displayed on the invoices. I had to amend terms and conditions when a client didn't pay me and have to cover myself for future instances

Great for sales teams

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: We had bought ProfitBooks for accounting but then soon discovered that it's great for sales teams. We created accounts for our sales staff and assigned them the 'Sales' role. Now, they can create invoices and record payment receipts but can't see other transactions in the business. This is really great. Not sure if any other software has this feature.

Pros:

It's simple to set up and doesn't really require training. It's affordable. Support is good. The option of creating user-specific roles is unique.

Cons:

I feel they should add more tutorials in the help center. Mobile app needs more functionality.
