## Reviews

### "Solid for non-bookkeepers" — 4.0/5

> **Dylan** | *23 March 2026* | Online Media | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use, multi-currency support, good customer service (although I haven't had to contact anyone in quite some time), easy customizable invoices, nice interface.&#10;&#10;As someone doing my own books who's not a trained bookkeeper, this software gets the job done.
> 
> **Cons**: With having to add more customers/vendors to my account over time, the bill has risen quite a bit (CAD$120 back in 2020 to CAD$309 annual today) for essentially the same features. &#10;&#10;Reporting features can be confusing at times.&#10;&#10;Searching for transactions can be difficult as you can only seem to search for certain fields that you applied to the transaction. There's no way to search attached invoices or transaction notes for example.

### "Zoho is great\! Give it a try" — 5.0/5

> **Karen** | *3 December 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like how affordable Zoho Books is, this is a great tool for a small business. Zoho is very user friendly and has costumer support when needed.
> 
> **Cons**: Everything you need to run your business is in Zoho. I do with there was a way to integrate it with other roofing softwares (or maybe there is and I haven't figured out a way yet)
> 
> I started using Zoho for it's affordability and decided to keep it for it's simplicity. Zoho does what I need it to do. The feature I like most is the Estimating and Invoicing. I can keep track of all my clients on one place.

### "Good to handle memberships and connects with the CRM" — 4.0/5

> **Kevin** | *28 November 2025* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We've used this for 5+ years now, it does the job of managing our memberships we sell. You can create many types of memberships and everything can be linked automatically with Zoho CRM.
> 
> **Cons**: It lacks a bit of flexibility and the interface is not always clear, you have to dig a bit to find everything you need.

### "Zoho Books a complete solutions especially with Zoho Billing" — 5.0/5

> **Charles** | *30 April 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Integration with so many other different apps Zoho has in addition to the 3rd party apps. I particularly use the Zoho Billing app they have to bill customers automatically each month and the results are auto-recorded in Zoho Books. I had to do that manually before with other software.
> 
> **Cons**: There were slow to integrate with well known vendors for payroll like Gusto likely because they were coming out with their own implementation of payroll, which is now available for all 50 USA states.
> 
> It's a complete solution. I also have automated billing I utilize with Zoho Billing and it integrates perfectly. The automated bills get charged and it records the results and if it's paid automatically in Zoho Books.

### "Software that does what it says and runs rather well" — 4.0/5

> **Luke** | *9 June 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It was really useful to be able to link my bank account to the software so that I didn't need to import all of my ingoing/outgoing transactions manually. It also gives a good overview of your profits/expenses/gross profit.
> 
> **Cons**: It was a bit more complicated to navigate than Quickbooks and automating recurring invoices felt a bit fiddly and over-complicated. Another small problem is that it doesn't import your bank transactions until the day after the transaction has taken place, despite refreshing the feed. I like to log my income/expenses the moment the transaction goes through to keep on top of my books.
> 
> A good piece of software that does what you need it to, but perhaps more suited to small - medium businesses rather than sole traders as quite complex. No real issues, but I did decide to choose an alternative software as it suited my sole trader needs more for a good price.
