Great experience so far **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Amy P. | Bookkeeper, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2025 **What do you like best about Kickfin?** Software is very easy to navigate, and the customer support has been fantastic so far! They are very quick to respond to any questions, or help with any adjustments needed. I really like that you can set it up to reflect data for each pay period individually. I also like that each section is broken out nicely by tab, making it easy and quick to access. **What do you dislike about Kickfin?** It would be nice if you could assign dual roles to individuals. We have some employees who receive tips, but are also responsible for paying out tips to others, so they have to set up two different profiles, one as an employee and one as manager. **What problems is Kickfin solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows us to pay our servers out nightly and that is a huge employment incentive in a competitive industry **Official Response from Keely Hungate:** > Thank you for leaving a review, Amy! We're thrilled you've found Kickfin so easy to use. We want to note that Kickfin does have permissions that allow a user to issue and receive payments — and we have features to prevent any security issues when those permissions are in place.
