## Reviews

### "Great product to use, value for money" — 5.0/5

> **Jack** | *10 June 2026* | Investment Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Reckon Payroll is a great online payroll product. Easy to use, value for money and customer support is very helpful in real time.
> 
> **Cons**: No cons to report. Haven't yet experience any issues with the product or customer support. I think this a a positive that there are no cons to report.
> 
> Reckon Payroll suits my business payroll requirements adequately. It's an easy platform to use and navigate. Customer Support is very helpful and provides real time support. Product is value for money. All the necessary payroll features are available and accessible

### "Reckon the forgotten underdog" — 5.0/5

> **John** | *5 March 2026* | Textiles | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Its easy to use, has all the functionality and more than you would need, the support is quick and really helpful (maybe one or two rings) and compared to other software its good value for money.
> 
> **Cons**: The interface is now getting a bit old and probably not "best in class".  Looks more like what professional payroll use.  That said you get to know it quickly and the jobs can be done fast.
> 
> I'm a 35 yr chartered accountant and I have been using Reckon now since \[sensitive content hidden\]  was a boy.  I started using it because other available systems did not allow you to go back and amend transactions as easily as Reckon did.  Its a small thing but something which allows you to clean up without leaving a thousand adjusting transactions.

### "Great value payroll for a larger payroll" — 4.0/5

> **Anita** | *25 June 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Reckon payroll is great value for money\! I tried a number of payroll software and Reckon Payroll is the best value for a larger payroll (as they do not charge per employee) and there have been some significant efficiency improvements in the year I've been using the software including employee self-onboarding and the payroll processing process.
> 
> **Cons**: More limited reporting requiring running several reports and collating the information from different reports in order to get a report with all the required information.
> 
> I've had an excellent experience so far with Reckon Payroll from the free onboarding, sales and use of the software. If they can improve their payroll reporting it would be really amazing\!

### "Wonderful experience using a product that makes my life easier" — 5.0/5

> **JOHN** | *17 October 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Always looking at improving its profile, exceptional value for money. It gets the job done and easy to use. zI can manage my employees and the compulsory tax payroll processing  for the government requirements for tyax and supa
> 
> **Cons**: My lack of knowledge on how to optimise the use of this product. The government makes too many changes and does not explain the implications nor the sometimes catastrophic effect it exposes small business that often runs on a thred.
> 
> Satisfying to be able to manage my tax /employee affairs from my computer or even my phone- fantastic product and very versatile

### "Brilliant\!" — 5.0/5

> **Vanessa** | *24 June 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It ease of use and reliability.  My first experience with using an accounting program and I must say, It has been a breeze.
> 
> **Cons**: Can't think of any - Being my first accounting program, I have nothing to compare it to, however, I have no intention of changing.
> 
> very positive, when I've had issues, it has been quickly resolved.  It is good value for money and has many well thought out integrations.
