  ### 1. FINALLY!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Shayn F. | Founder and Attorney, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2024

**What do you like best about Talisman?**

As a business owner, cash flow is constantly on my mind. However, it is incredibly difficult to find quickly find this information without chasing down accountants or bookkeepers and waiting on reconciliation. Talisman changes that. It makes it easy for business owners (and members of their team) to track, organize, and communicate regarding cash flow. This has significant benefits when planning, setting goals, and scaling. Talisman's email notifications on upcoming charges also creates a morning routine, which helps you understand your monthly expenses so you can get rid of tools you don't need and minimize your outflows.

**What do you dislike about Talisman?**

I am excited to see Talisman tackle inflows of cash.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 03, 2023

**What do you like best about Talisman?**

The design was great and easy to use. I was able to log in and quickly understand where I had opportunities to cut costs during a SaaS audit. Saved me quite a bit of time having to go and do all this manually.

**What do you dislike about Talisman?**

I wish I could see all my expenses (outside of SaaS) in a dashboard like this. But for software auditing purposes this worked great.

I was having to manually go look through transactions and speak to multiple department heads to figure out what we were spending. It was taking much longer (a few days) to collect the information. I was able to get all the info I needed in just a few minutes

I would have liked to self onboard myself, but a rep at Talisman was quick enough to help me get started.

Talisman helped me cut costs across my organization.
