A simple yet powerful complete accounting solution **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Islam A. | Senior Accountant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2023 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** Zipbooks is an excellent overall accounting & finance software. It is almost a complete solution & makes it easier to keep track of all your business finances, invoices, bills, payroll & expenses. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** The basic version only carries bery basic needs for keeping track. Specially if you run agency with multiple project cost centres, the subscription becomes quite expensive **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Zipbooks is quite friendly and intuitive. They have excellent interface making accounting easy. As a trained book keeper, first time making entries is easy ( a bit repetitive though, but still simple to use). ### 2. All around great accounting software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Business Supplies and Equipment | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2021 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** Zip books stands out for their ease of use, clean interface, and ability to track every financial aspect of your freelance business. What I love is that they offer a free plan which allows for unlimited invoices and unlimited customers. Nobody else does this. The Zip books free plan is ideal if you run a freelance business and send E-invoices, but you do not need live time tracking. I picked ZipBooks for this feature after using and testing ten or so other online providers...from tiny to popular, I have tried them all. I quickly realized I would benefit from time tracking. The plan for adding real-time time tracking, though, is very affordable! At the time of this review, they beat the competition in pricing. I love how fast I can create a project in the app and get right to work. When I am ready to invoice, I simply create a new invoice, choose the customer name, and the system finds, adds, and calculates the time spent, then adds it to the invoice. My old workflow involved using an online invoicing system and another 3rd party tracker so while time tracking was easy, invoicing was such a process that I procrastinated until the end of the month. Zipbooks allows me to use one app for everything! I also love how their invoice notification looks in an email. Simple, clean, and modern with a large Pay Now button that your customers can easily click. Another great feature is the ease of navigation when logged in. The side panel has a list of options you can click on to navigate different aspects of your business. Additionally, when clicking on items you have never used, it automatically shows a window with instructions on using the feature. I also love that if you have questions, there is an instant chat button always available when logged in. No clicking other places to find a contact us button. Every time I have had an issue, my questions are answered in real-time and quickly! I searched for months for a provider that offered great features for great value. I love Zipbooks. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** The only downside I have come across is invoice customization. They seem only to offer one invoice template, and while the template is clean and beautiful, you can only change a few preferences related to what you want your invoice to include. Other than accent color, which can be changed, the layout of the invoice remains the same no matter which of the ten or so preferences you change. Other online apps offer many different templates and full customization. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** With other apps, I found that adding real-time tracking was expensive. I needed an affordable app, but one that also allowed me to track time. Zipbooks does just that. Invoicing and tracking time used to be such a chore with my old app. Now I can invoice in seconds! ### 3.

Easy to Use Business Income Tracker **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mariah B. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 23, 2021 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** I really like that Zipbooks offers such an easy format to use. Not only does it have a way to tracks expenses and income, but it also features basic reports. You are able to upgrade to receive more advanced features, but the free basic package works great for a small business! **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** It would be nice to have more features and reports to use without having to pay to upgrade. It would also be nice to be able to track which items I specifically sold. However, it still is great for tracking overall income and expenses. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have been able to track income and expenses which keeps me organized especially when tax season rolls around. I am also able to view my reports and decide what I need to earn or how much I can spend for the next month. ### 6.

Great accounting software for small companies **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Riccardo D. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 07, 2020 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** Zipbooks is a great tool for accounting. It saves you a lot of time, which you can then use for value adding activities. Automatizing invoice creation is really simple, you can track your staffers and much more. The price of the software is more than okay, you get a lot of software for small money. If the well written documentation cannot help you, the customer service is really great and eager to guide you through every problem you encounter. Also they offer a reviewing system for customers, which is helpful to further improve our service. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** You will certainly notice that the software is mainly for US customers. You can only add American bank accounts, which is a pity since we are not situated in the united states. I hope they will improve and support other countries as well. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Time tracking of staff, creating automatic invoicing, having a review system for customers, and much more. The program helped us since we do not have to spend that much time for the accounting part in our business. ### 9.

If you are looking to move to a better accounting solution and company, move to ZipBooks and don't look back. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** ZipBooks really has to be used through a browser. On a mobile device this can be challenging. I am also a G Suite user and wish my G Suite contacts were synchronized with ZipBooks contacts. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Managing Invoices, accounts receivables and business health reports have never been easier. ### 11.

The process of uploading receipts, editing previous entries or changing the name of a supplier follows a familiar flow ZipBooks are the features, for example, billing, accounting of projects, debtors and creditors, although the most salient feature of this solution is the ability to track expenses and organize them to facilitate their use in the future, also allows me to manage all expense reports for my projects, control and view the values of current expenses, by category or supplier. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** Honestly I can't think of anything I don't like, it's pretty good. I would also like to see more user-friendly / visually appealing reports as well as invoices that is the main reason why I haven't changed had a more modern design. **Recommendations to others considering ZipBooks:** I recommend it to all small business owners I know, as well as ordinary people who keep track of their expenses. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before we started using this tool we had to handle invoices in physical, so we had a lot of receipts to be organized, as well as accounting and classification. With ZipBooks everything is done automatically so we reduced our time processing accounting data, improved our workflow by optimizing the tracking of all company finances. We can easily monitor or verify all receipts, classify and label them so that they are easy to use at the time of taxes and allows us to visualize the information in real time. ### 13.

The s arch feature doesn't always work well when trying to assign a project to a time entry. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I work as a Virtual Assistant so time tracking is crucial. I also have a team. I need everyone to be able to track time to the minute in one location. Plus, it didn't break the bank for adding team members like some other programs do. ### 14.

Very intuitive and simple design in a wonderful tool. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jay B. | Counter, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 31, 2019 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** I love being able to easily use my own logo. I love how everything is automatically tracked. I love that it is free and you can add expenses, track time, create projects, create tasks within projects, print accounting reports, send invoices and receive payments in the application, recurring invoices available, possibility to set reminders automatically. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** I find it a bit frustrating not being able to find out when it is estimated that my deposits will affect my bank. It may not exist in the software or it may be difficult, even for a daily user, to find it in the menu system. It would be nice if they had some advice / descriptions of different types of transactions and how to register them correctly. However, he was able to solve everything through the Google search. **Recommendations to others considering ZipBooks:** The ZipBooks staff has been very responsive and willing to help. It provides basic accounting functions that would work well for a person who is converting his hobby into a small business or a small contract business. If you are new to accounting, ZipBooks is perfect. If you are used to accounting software, this free software is not for you. In general, if you are an individual looking for a great interface to maintain a ledger, this is a great system. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I started with accounting, but now I use it for billing and time tracking. I can also share with other users. The reports are easy to see and easy to use. ZipBooks facilitates the payment of taxes: in the past I struggled to gather all the necessary information to declare taxes for the company. After using ZipBooks during the last year, taxes are very easy and I do not fear anymore. ### 18. ZipBooks - Exactly what we needed **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Aaron R. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 02, 2019 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** User experience: I looked around at all the big players for small business accounting software (freshbooks, quickbooks, etc.). Zipbooks was by far the most modern, clean, and straightforward user experience. One thing, in particular, that I love is that it auto categorizes my imported bank transactions which saves me tons of time. Gets Better & Better: Zipbooks does exactly what I need it to do. Even better - they continue to develop new, useful features that I didn't even realize I needed (until I get them!). Specialized Needs: I was very impressed that they could connect with my bank (a smaller institution) rather than requiring me to continuously import those transactions manually. Several of the other software options I considered didn't allow that, which would have made using their products a total slog. Support: They have in-app chat support. In the few instances where I needed to answer a question, their support folks got back to me within minutes. Really great. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** We use Stripe as a payment processor for our online sales. At the moment, Zipbooks doesn't import our sales directly from Stripe and automatically reconcile them with my bank statements. I imagine they may get there soon given their pace of introducing new features. **Recommendations to others considering ZipBooks:** Give zipbooks a try - you won't regret it! **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** As we grew into a more established business rather than a new startup, we were looking to get our books in shape for a variety of reasons. Having Zipbooks has made this a breeze -- our only regret is not starting sooner! ### 19. Great Accounting Software for a Small Business **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kerwin S. | General Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 24, 2019 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** Very easy to use.

No learning curve. And it integrates seamlessly with Square and Stripe. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** I’d like to be able to add another user as a viewer on the free version, but that requires upgrading to a paid account. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** ZipBooks has made my invoicing process so much faster. I had been using PayPal and the change has both saved me time and made my invoices look much more professional. ### 21. Loving ZipBooks for now **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rachel L. | Business System Analyst, Research, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2018 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** Because we can access it from anywhere (many of us work remotely) **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** The dashboard could be a bit more user friendly; however, this is not a show stopper for us. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Accounting and invoicing for our projects ### 22. Downright incredible. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 07, 2018 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** Zipbooks is incredibly simple, intuitive and beautifully designed. I’ve used both quickbooks online and zipbooks for my business and can say, with confidence, that I have no plans to go back to quickbooks. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** It’s still dealing with finance so there are some workflows you’ll. We’d to get the hang of. But that is the case with any bookkeeping software. Their support is out of this world Stella and they will help you out along the way. **Recommendations to others considering ZipBooks:** They are still a young company. They listen to feedback and they are quick to implement. Their integrations are currently slim pickings (they have 1 integration with square at the time of writing this review). But hey supposedly have more in the works! That’s good news. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Organized invoicing and bookkeeping. ### 23. Excellent tools for a small business **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ryan C. | Web Developer, MySQL.com, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 03, 2018 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** I was attracted to ZipBooks initially due to their invoicing feature, but I've slowly integrated all the other features they offer into my work flow and it's been extremely helpful to me. The product team is helpful and easy to connect with. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** There are a few obvious issues with the UX/UI, but the team behind the product are very helpful in working around the issues and taking feedback to improve the product. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Invoicing, payment processing, and tracking bills/expenses.

Easy to use, beautiful invoices, and a solid time tracker **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Diego L. | Owner, Chief Visionary, Lead Strategist, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2017 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** I love the fact that I can set up and send an invoice in a few minutes, pulling in existing products and services (complete with description). The addition of a time tracker was unexpected and very appreciated! I use it to keep track of the hours spent on certain projects with those clients that prefer hourly payment over per-project pricing. ZipBooks also allows for past hours tracked that are unpaid to be automagically pulled into a new or an existing invoice, making it super simple to make sure everything is included in an invoice before sendoff. The invoices are simple, clean, beautiful and there is an "include PDF" option when sending out the invoice to clients (for those that prefer to print out and save their invoices). The customer support is phenomenal -- the support staff is friendly and helpful. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** It's still a relatively new software, and I was one of the early adopters, so there were a few minor bugs and quirks in the past. The good thing is, most of the bugs are squashed, and the roadmap for the future of the app looks very bright! **Recommendations to others considering ZipBooks:** If you are on the fence, Try out their basic FREE plan first, to set up your business (it won't take more than a few minutes), and then play around with the invoicing software. You'll see that it's super simple, easy, and quick to create a beautiful, clean invoice. When you feel like you got the hang of it (again, won't take you but a few minutes) go to their pricing page and decide which plan you need. I'm on the "Smarter Plan", valued at $15/mo. It's perfect for me and my small business. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** ZipBooks primary benefit for me is that it saves me TIME. I don't need to spend 15-20 minutes fiddling around with layout, service descriptions, tax and email settings to get an invoice to the right person. On top of that, the invoices are simple, clean and beautiful, holding to the same high quality of my brand. ### 25.

Simple, effective and clean **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alex S. | Founder - CEO, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2017 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** I really like the interface and the pricing. It's very easy to send out invoices and collect payment on those invoices. The automated bank records categorizer is very helpful. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** There are not nearly as many integrations as some of the others, but for this business it was not a problem. **Recommendations to others considering ZipBooks:** Give it a free try. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeping track of invoices and our overall accounts/where money is going. ### 27. Amazing **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alex R. S. | Attorney at Law, Member, Law Practice, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 02, 2017 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** 2 specific things: the accounting features, from basic to complicated, are not only so easy to use, but ZipBooks' customer service is impeccable; they respond very quickly and go the extra mile to help sort out any issues I may have. I can even access the entire site from my Android. Accounting features. I am by no means an accounting expert and that is why I love ZipBooks. I run my own solo law practice and everything from time, client and matter tracking, to tracking business expenses, to the most important, billing, is all there in a very accessible format. The best part about ZipBooks' accounting features is that you don't have to be an accounting expert in order to just get to the basic features and needs; all other accounting software I have tried were bloated, overly-complicated and proved to be very difficult to get to even my most basic needs. ZipBooks is simple, the most basic accounting features are all front and center, but if you require more advancing accounting, they've got that too. I don't want to screw around with some overly-complicated system, that costs and arm and a leg, and takes me double the time to do what I need to get paid. Oh, and ZipBooks' features aren't only easy to navigate, but the graphics of the entire site are fantastic, as well. Customer Service. As I mentioned before, I am not an accounting expert; I'm a 33 year old attorney who started a solo practice from scratch and have no accounting experience but for basic accounting skills. I know what I need to keep track of in order to get paid, but filling in all of that middle in between the first and final step, is where I sometimes need help. ZipBooks is not just easy to use, even for me, but when someone with my experience needs a lot of help understanding how to appropriately enter expenses, and receivables, etc., so that I can keep track of whether my practice is doing good or not by reading my financial report (which ZipBooks also does), ZipBooks customer support is diligent and exceptionally patient with me every time I reach out to them with what is probably a stupid question to someone answering the phones at Quicken. I have lost track of the amount of hours Karin and Emily have spent with me via chat scouring over my entries and transactions that I have unintentionally entered incorrectly, all to get me, a free-subscription customer (at the time), with accurate books. Not only are they diligent, but they're extremely patient with me as well, even as I make unsolicited recommendations on how to upgrade their software. Specific Pros: - Ease of Access to Accounting Features; - Simplified Invoicing; - Simplified Client/Matter tracking; - Simplified Time and Expense Tracking; - Accepts Credit Card Payments from Clients; - Emails Invoices instead of requiring paper and mail; - Customization of Invoices with logos, etc.; - Automatic Payment Reminders can be set up to be emailed to clients; - Automatic Invoice/Bill Tracking for late-paying clients; - Transfers payments to connected banks; - Customer Service is incredible; - Customized Finance Reports; - Easy to Understand Accounts Receivable; and - Great-looking Website. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** If you read my "What do you like best?" section, you'll realize that I have yet to find anything that I dislike about ZipBooks, and I have been using them for 9 months. **Recommendations to others considering ZipBooks:** Do it; you won't be sorry. I'm only one, single user customer, who only pays $10/month, but with every use, I can envision how seamlessly my growing law firm and additional users will greatly utilize ZipBooks in the future. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** A much better and accessible ability to track time and client expenses, which in turn allows me to get invoices out to clients much quicker. I can email invoices to clients which allows me to stop incurring business costs on paper and postage. ZipBooks sends automatic reminders to clients who have invoices outstanding based on the customized rules I've set up, allowing me to get paid sooner. ZipBooks allows me to add my logo to invoices, which allows me to look more professional to my clients. ZipBooks compiles all of my invoiced "sales," expenses, etc., and allows me to view a customized financial report based on accrual or cash basis, which allows me to pinpoint ways to improve upon either my business spending, client retention, and affords me the opportunity to make my business more successful. ZipBooks allows clients to pay invoices via credit card payments and allows clients to view their invoices via a link, which allows them to pay sooner and I, in turn, am paid sooner. Any time I fall into issues with my reports or transactions, or anything really, ZipBooks customer service is there to patiently and diligently investigate and resolve any issues I'm having, or just help explain some of the basic and even advanced accounting skills and terminology, which allows me to be more successful and spend less time figuring it out on my own. All-in-all, I have three goals in operating my law practice; provide exemplary legal services to clients, get paid for those services, and continue to expand/grow. ZipBooks, by all of the information earlier-provided, most definitely helps make those goals happen much quicker than any other accounting or time-tracking software I've ever encountered. ### 28. A great accounting software for a new business **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Megan B. | Business Owner, Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2018 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** It is simple to setup and has a plethora of features for a free accounting software. You get reports, invoices, and even the ability to send quotes. Support is amazing!! **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** Feature rollout is a bit slow.

Emerging Competitor in the Market **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mike W. | Owner/Architect/Engineer, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 06, 2017 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** Incredible customer service and a great set of features make ZipBooks an incredible value for the money. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** I would love more documentation. There are things that are incredibly intuitive about the application, but there are also things that don't make sense unless you know exactly what to do. The support team really help with that though, as they are always quick to respond. **Recommendations to others considering ZipBooks:** Give them time to keep on adding features and leverage support wherever you can. I engaged support on an issue that I didn't think would get resolved based on some feedback I saw about one of their competitors, and sure enough their team team worked it out. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm starting a new business, so the number one problem is tracking my revenue and expenses. ### 30.

Any functionality that isn't suitable for my use case is pretty much out of the way, and the software lets me focus on whatever I need. The ability to re-order the top nav is really helpful since some functionality simply isn't really relevant to me. Aside from that ZipBooks covers all my financial bases, and the automated invoice reminders with the little templating engine coupled with PayPal and Stripe support really helps to encourage faster payments. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** Stripe integration is not currently available in Ireland, however when I contacted customer support about it they submitted a ticket to the engineers and assured me integration would be live within a few days. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeping invoices, estimates and other documents alongside this softwares financial tracking functionality really helps me manage finances as a small (one person) business. I don't have the money at the moment as a start up for a regular accountant, and ZipBooks is helping me keep everything in order for when I need to file my returns. ### 31.

Simple, Easy, Free, and So Helpful! Zipbooks is a Godsend **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 17, 2017 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** Zipbooks is so easy to use and it's free! It just has everything that's needed in an invoicing system: time tracking, client organization, beautiful invoices, instant payment system, and an absolutely outstanding interface. And the support is immediately responsive too! I actually am looking forward to using it more often. Thank you for making a beautiful and powerful product. The world has needed something like Zipbooks for a very long time. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** Honestly, there isn't much I'd change about it. I just wish it was more widely known. **Recommendations to others considering ZipBooks:** Just check it out and see what I mean. You can enter your client's info, the amount due, and produce a great invoice in less than two minutes. It's ridiculously easy. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am just starting out a small business and I needed something simple and quick to send out my first invoice. I've used systems before, but they always end up having some kind of fee for certain features. The benefits of using Zipbooks is their model of being free, so it makes sense to have something like this. It's just a no-brainer. I've used other systems and they're nice and intuitive, but Zipbooks has all the same functionalities and yet it doesn't cost anything. Furthermore, the client benefits too: they get great-looking invoices, an email to see it with a PDF attachment to download, and they get a way to pay right away straight to your account. It's unbelievably easy. Everyone wins! ### 38. Both Quality Service and Design. Finally. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brett G. | Regional Architect, Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2016 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** The simplicity in design and functionality, without sacrificing the ability to be a powerful invoicing and accounting platform. As a designer, I love everything about the simplicity of the navigation, all the way to the inner workings of the application. And of course, it all transitions to the newly listed iOS app, which allows me to be mobile. I could go on, but you should just give it a try since you have nothing to lose. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** Only minor details in iOS functionality, which will likely be resolved as the app evolves. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see customer relationship management (leads, sales, marketing, etc) functionality built in at some point. This would mean one platform to rule them all! (Shameless Lord of the Rings metaphor.) **Recommendations to others considering ZipBooks:** If you are looking for a platform to combine your invoicing and accounting needs this is it. If you are a designer like myself, it is even better. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have been looking for a platform that combines invoicing and accounting functionality, along with the ability to import expenses from my business checking. I found it. I continue to find benefits over and over. I love the idea of automatic invoicing, not to mention that the entire platform is now mobile via the iOS app for me. Please make an iPad app too! ### 39. Help me organize **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Suzaidee M. | Founder, Broadcast Media, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 17, 2016 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** It's simple to understand and easy to use.

The report can help you monitor your compqny financial situation. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** It's not about dislikes but I would say improvement towards this great platform. I wish: - - there's a payroll system that can help you organize payroll to your staff. - it allows you to do quotes in draft mode (costing) so you can estimates if you making profitor how much you making for a projects or jobs. I use this tecnique when I'm preparing quotes in excel. It helps me see in a birdseye view about a projects. - it allows you to customize your quotes, invoices and receipts. With the current system, It gets the job done but I wish theres a way it let you have few options to customize or templates you can choose **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easy tracking of my invoices. I'm just a guy who want to focus on my business. All these paperwork, tracking payments totally not my forte. Zipbooks really solves thise issues. ### 40.

I think it's a wonderful alternative to having to purchase other programs that do the same thing. I don't need a lot of the functions of the more expensive packages. This is basic. That's what I need. **Recommendations to others considering ZipBooks:** This is a free alternative to Quickbooks and if you only need the basic accounting and organizational capabilities, then this has everything you need and probably a bit more! I am thankful for it. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am solving the problem of keeping up with my expenses and payments to grab a quick overview of what I am actually accomplishing and for tax purposes.

Small Business Necessity **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Collin K. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2016 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** ZipBooks truly shows how effective a minimal design can be. Unlike Quickbooks, ZipBooks' dashboard is clean and clear showing only the information thats necessary on a daily basis. I love the ability to quickly track time and assign it to a client and the ease of developing an invoice or estimate. One of my favorite tools is ZipBooks' estimate tool. As a Web Designer, the ability to quickly create an informative and accurate invoice that not only looks good but works is priceless. I'm not the only one who loves using ZipBooks, my clients love it to. The streamlined invoice payments and estimate acceptance makes it easy for my clients to pay. On top of all this, its free - you honestly can't beat ZipBooks **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** I don't dislike anything. My only dislike is pertaining to myself as I wish I would have found ZipBooks a long time ago. Rather than dislike I only have a few suggestions. While I know ZipBooks focuses on Small Businesses, I would love to see the ability to send partial payment invoices to make it easier to take down payments and deposits. Other than that, nothing. **Recommendations to others considering ZipBooks:** none **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** As a small business our number one goal is cutting expenses down as much as possible without compromising productivity. ZipBooks allowed us to say adios to Quickbooks, not only cutting costs but also giving us a better product in the end. If you own a small business or are a solo entrepreneur ZipBooks will soon become your best friend in business. ### 44. ZipBooks does the job for me. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Graphic Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 26, 2017 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** Extremely easy interface with clear windows for all tasks I need to do.

Simple, Easy and Free **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** André M. | Co Founder, Media Production, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2017 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** I've used Quickbooks, and Freshbooks previously. Zip Books makes it simple to invoice your customers and manage your accounts with ease. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** Mobile application needs a complete overhaul, the user interface is awful on Android, not sure about iPhone. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I needed new accounting software and did not want to pay upwards of $20/month for Quickbooks for my business and Freshbooks is just awful. ### 46. Zipbooks may be the app to really get me organized around my time tracking, estimates and invoicing. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ruth S. | Owner, Publishing, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2016 **What do you like best about ZipBooks?** I really like the very clean and open layout, and the fact that I can handle time tracking, estimates and invoicing all in one place. And of course, I do like very much that it is free. I also like that it was easy to set up credit card payments with Stripe, and I have already received my first payment! I also like that I can customize my invoices and only include the info I want the client to see, even though I am presented with all of the time entries initially. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** I find the Time Tracking piece a little confusing in that I have to keep clicking back on Time Tracking once I set up a new client and then I want to start tracking time right away. I have figured out that I need to click back on Time Tracking on the left to get to the different areas (Projects, Tasks). I also am not crazy about the lack of help screens from within the app. However, I am in the middle of a chat with Brad about the Support category in their blog, and that is certainly a move in the right direction. **Recommendations to others considering ZipBooks:** I think this is an ideal app for soloentrepreneurs and up (in terms of size of a small business). I have not yet explored everything, but I have gotten all the way through writing an invoice and getting paid via credit card right away. Very nifty! **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Wanted to streamline and integrate my accounting, estimates, invoices and time tracking. ### 47.

ZipBooks meets my needs 100%. It is a simple to use fast to learn billing and time tracking system. I love how easy it is to create a great looking invoices, track expenses by customer and keep track of receivables. It's online so it's always there if a client wants an invoice straight away. Now there is an app for the iPhone it is even more convenient. This week I used the estimate feature which converted to an invoice as soon as the client approved it. Great stuff. I hope to be using ZipBooks for a long time. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** There is not a lot to dislike about ZipBooks. Like all products there are things that can make it suite an individuals needs better. The one feature I miss right now but am finding a work around, is the lack of Invoice item templates that would replace me typing the same description and rate/price on every invoice instead of a pull-down item. **Recommendations to others considering ZipBooks:** Give it a try. It's a simple solution that will meet most small business users needs. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being able to create invoices on the fly and in the field is a great asset. I find I am not working late into the night with my accounting, as it is mostly done on the job in the field. ### 48.

When an app creates delight, it's got a home run. This is the case for me. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** I don't dislike anything about ZipBooks. I only wish it had a couple more features like being able to have default saved text in the estimates and invoices. This is minor of course. **Recommendations to others considering ZipBooks:** Do it!

Zipbooks fits perfectly and has just what I need without a bunch of extra cruft, and without $$$. **What do you dislike about ZipBooks?** I would like to be able to export books or have some sort of auto-cloud backup; something I could be sure that my data would be safe even if Zipbooks doesn't make it as a company in the long haul. **Recommendations to others considering ZipBooks:** Try it. It's free. It will be hard to find another piece of software that comes close for free, let alone for pay. **What problems is ZipBooks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Needed to track expenses and invoices for a small real estate business. It is much better than just doing so in Excel. ### 50.
