Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • This is for people that do know a little about accounting. The accounting system is extremely easy to follow. There is a lot of freedom as long as the startup settings are correctly set when starting out. It does not take long to learn. I started with the account system immediately and was doing the bank recon the next day. It allows you to import .csv and .ofx files, which is extremely helpful. The software is made for ease of use. To me, it is the best and it is completely FREE!

Cons

  • There is no integration with bank accounts, but the workaround is to import bank files into the system. For detailed info and advise, you need to join blogs for answers as the help sections are limited.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I like the no-nonsense command-line interface. PAYE and connection to HMRC is an incredible feature to have. I love that I can set it up on my own servers. It works very well.
  • Stansoft is an excellent accounting software that addresses the needs of small businesses. It has lot of functionality but as a user based in UK, I've only used only VAT MTD and HMRC PAYE modules. * Extremley lightweight * Double entry accounting * G/L * Sales/AP/AR/Invoice generation * Up to date with UK Tax rules * Easy setup / clear documentation / video tutorials
  • Runs in a Unix terminal. The features aren't hidden or obscured behind menu after menu. Reports are plain, easy to print or export into usable data. The support we have received for any issue/lack of knowledge has always been fantastic.
  • HMRC approved for Vat and Paye submissions. Terminal based and accessible via ssh from anywhere in the world. Super fast. Multiple user logins unlimited. Easy layout of Menu's. Easy to understand. Great customer support if needed for a small fee. The manual is easy to read.

Cons

  • There's a lot of features. I only need it as a UK business, it would be cool if I could set it to a mode that would hide all the features and sections that wouldn't apply to me. You can just ignore those sections if you don't need them, but it'd be nice to be able to pick a setup that only shows you the options relevant to you.
  • Text based UI Steep learning curve Potential for improvements to user experience
  • I have yet to find anything I don't like about it.
  • Nothing to dislike if I am honest. No issues to dislike at the moment.
