Accruer Reviews & Product Details

Accruer made me question reality. I typed ‘for the period’ and suddenly prepaids, deferred revenue, and fixed assets just… materialized. No tabs, no spreadsheets, no existential dread. Thirty seconds in, I felt like I’d time-traveled to a dimension where month-end isn’t a soul-crushing ritual. It’s not software—it’s sorcery wrapped in a clean UI. The ROI? Frankly insulting how good it is. Setup took less time than making coffee. Their support team responds like they’re trapped in a portal that only opens when you email them. I’ve stopped bracing for pain during close. That’s what Accruer did. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The emotional betrayal of seeing elite-tier memes on LinkedIn—only to open the app and find a complete absence of that same chaotic brilliance. No memes. Not even a rogue accounting pun. It’s like being promised dessert and then handed a perfectly balanced trial balance instead. Don’t get me wrong, the app works too well—which only deepens the void where the memes should be. Give me journal entry automation and a little unhinged joy. Is that too much to ask?! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an accounting firm for small business, we use Accruer on several of our clients (typically those with revenue above $750k). It's extremely easy to use once you learn it, which is a pretty quick process due to the helpful videos the Accruer team creates and posts on their site. Implementing the product for a new client can be tricky if you're not careful, but any time we ran into a glitch we simply reached out to the team and heard back within 24 hours.

I can't find anything negative to say about Accruer. If I'm really digging deep, we've had maybe one or two misc. glitches over the years but as with everything else, we reached out to the Accruer team and they sorted it out for us quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A very simple system to use that has saved me a ton of time on month end entries for prepaids and revenue recognition. Implemented in a matter of minutes for 10 of my clients that have revenue deferrals that are all now automated. As long as I remember "for the period of", the system works effortlessly in the background, and has nice lapsing schedules for prepaids and deferred revenue. Every have a questions, they are super responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not really a downside, but I'd prefer my revenue recognition happen on the 1st of the month, not the last of the month. Is by no means a deal killer for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have to give Accruer the smallest possible amount of information necessary in order for it to perform what would otherwise be a multi-JE, complicated workflow. I don't have to leave QuickBooks Online to use it; I just enter "for the period of December 16, 2024 to February 15, 2025" into the memo of the bill, or invoice, or whatever, and Accruer books all the downstream entries. If I update or even delete the parent entry, all the relevant entries snap into place within seconds with no further action from me.

Once I integrated it for one of my clients and learned how to use it, the next 50 were easy to implement. As with FinOptimal's other products, if I ever hit a snag, their customer success team is highly responsive and gives thoughtful answers.

I use this product constantly for probably 80% of my client base. It's rare that an accounting product buys me this much time back. I can tell it was built by an accountant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes some time to familiarize with the reversal method the app employs, and while I understand its virtues—it makes for BETTER cash reporting, actually, it can be difficult to explain to inquisitive clients. Whatever, so was the Bill.com clearing account back in the day; not a good reason not to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s so simple to use and can even be paired with your current process. We use Dext to process receipts. We can see the date on a receipt and with some context quickly determine what period the transaction relates to. Then by writing “for the period” in the receipt description, Accruer will handle the rest and make the books accrual-worthy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. It works great. We have zero complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can go from cash basis to accrual basis only using a sentence. It makes the process so painless and easy + we get auto-reconciled reports at the end of the month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Truthfully, there's nothing. Maybe they should make more tools so I can use them for everything? Idk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
