Float automatically updates all my user data from my accounting platform which means I spend SO much less time each week crouched in front of my computer! It is a breath of fresh air! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Was a little complex when we were first setting things up. Once we got our wifi on board things started syncing properly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I really don't find Float useful"

1/5

What do you like best about Float?

The best thing I can say about Float is that the interface looks good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Float?

I don't particularly dislike anything about Float, I just don't feel it provides any value. We use Xero for our accounting system and there's nothing that Float provides that I can't build a custom report to do in Xero. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Float:

Consider if you can do the same thing in your accounting system and save yourself some money. If it were up to me, we would get rid of this waste of money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

Other's in our company use this software and they're trying to provide better visibility to our cash flow. The benefit is that they don't have to use Xero and click a few times to get to the reports that have been built to do this in Xero. So I guess the benefit is a couple pretty graphs and a few less clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
