Clearbooks - competent, but not the best

Pros

  • SaaS, so accessible by anyone, anywhere in the world via a browser
  • Clear and straight forward navigation
  • Good choice of management reports

Cons

  • Like any SaaS product, Clearbooks is continuously evolving and being improved
  • Some of the reports still need some work

Return on Investment

  • I am not sure that ROI is an appropriate measure for an accounts package. The cost is around £250/year, which is a tiny fraction of the cost of a bookkeeper/finance controller/finance director/CFO.
