Reckon One

Accurate and reliable

Comments: It was a great app or system since I use it for Billing of invoice, sending statement of accounts to our clients, receiving payments and reports. It is very useful for those with small businesses. All the tasks for accounting is in Reckon One.

Pros:

Reckon One is the system I use wayback when I was in New Zealand, it is my first time using the system and I can say that I can easily cope up with the functionality.

Cons:

I am not sure If I am the only one experience the glitch of the system if you click too fast, but I believe they already update the system so hopefully no more glitch.

Good software for point-of-sale businesses; less use for consulting

Comments: I liked Reckon One and would have stayed with it if I could have had a few more features relevant for consulting type businesses.

Pros:

Easy to get the hang of even for someone with zero accounting background, like myself. Decent simple, intuitive features (mostly). Great dashboard.

Cons:

The feature set is aimed at point-of-sale and online retail type businesses. As a consultant with a micro-business, my accounting needs are not great, but they are more complex than Reckon One could handle. I was going to need to purchase one of the top tier versions of Reckon just to do the few simple extras that I required.

Alternatives Considered: MYOB Business, QuickBooks Enterprise and Xero

Reasons for Choosing Reckon One: MYOB is expensive and I didn't need the name-brand experience or the ability to automate my accounting with the accountant

Switched From: MYOB Business

Reasons for Switching to Reckon One: Better price, better features, more intuitive, Australian based

A solid entry level finance package

Comments: It was a positive experience, however I would do more testing next time

Pros:

It was easy to implement and use, there were not show stoppers during implementation

Cons:

The out of the box feature set is less mature then we had hoped

Easy Choice

Comments: Overall, I have used Reckon, or previously called QuickBooks, since 2000. Reckon One has been a good experience in keeping our business and personal financials running smoothly.

Pros:

Reckon One is a product that is designed for what I need in an accounting package and it is also a continuation of what I used in classes at the local Polytechnic. It is familiar to me and comfortable and the support service is ideal whenever needed.

Cons:

Only one thing comes to mind that I like least, which is that as my years progress, my on-screen vision has suffered, and sometimes I prefer a larger font in some reports. I have tried the "Ask a question" option and don't always get an easy answer.

Very happy customer

Comments: experience was great, directions were clear and staff understood what i was asking

Pros:

how helpful your staff were in recognising my technical issue and assisted me with a great outcome

Cons:

Nothing comes to mind,i have asked for assistance often and always got the information i required. As we are retiring i may not use the product in the future but have used it for approx 30 years and loved it
