Clear Books Accounting Software Reviews 

Been using Clearbooks for a few years now, for a small business or self employed person it is very easy to use and keep track of things, with powerful reporting and tax facilities included why look elsewhere. Add to this the very reasonable pricing and you can't go wrong.

A new customer to Clear Books, not used the software before, but soon got the basics all working well. Any questions I have had have been answered quickly and the online help forum is really good. I look forward to using more functions as I learn more about Clear Books.

Pros: Very easy to use if you don't need a purchase or sales ledger. Adding purchase invoices is painful. Telephone support is far superior to other software providers and the support team actually know the product (unlike Sage support).

Cons: No facility to email monthly statements en masse is a real pain. Sending statements individually takes forever. The only accounting software I am aware of that does not filter customers by surname. Very odd and makes it extremely difficult to actually trace a customer at times. As clients (and staff) make numerous posting errors, being unable to alter an entry that has been part of a previous VAT return is the biggest pain of all.

Sort out the above Clearbooks and you would have a 5-star rating.

Super software, easy to use, well designed screens. Great for accountants and best of all our clients love it.

The bank feed makes bank rec's very straightforward and matching bank transactions with the purchase ledger very easy.

Creating invoices using the many templates makes them look very professional.

Would like to see better integration with Dext to auto import safe supplier invoices would make life a little easier.

The VAT section is the best there is with all transactions shown on the vat report making audits so easy.

Like the popular reports as they are very clear and useful. There are other more detailed reports are good but i would like to see an nominal account search to see the transactions.

I would like to see the mangement report improved as it is difficult to get the output you want. monthly breakdowns do not have a totals column which needs looking at.

All in all its the best small business accounting software and much more friendly then the big names.

Support is super quick and very friendly.

I have good experience with Clearbooks. They helped me to set up VAT return. I don't have to hire an accountant for my small company. I can do everything myself via Clearbooks. It's brilliant. Thank you so much.

Clear Books does what it says in its name.
It gives you a clear set of bookkeeping and accounting tools. No fuss no complicated Apps. It allows you run reports of the time periods that are relevant to the business. You can down drill to find out what transaction make up the amounts on your reports.

Seriously the best software I’ve used.
I’m not a professional accountant or bookkeeper, I just needed software that I could use for my small business. I’ve tried the big names but as far as I’m concerned this is the best and well worth the money

It's really easy to navigate and control the accounting work; thank you!

This software hasn't kept pace with the market. I am a small shareholder and was very loyal to it initially, but it's difficult to run full accounts due to clunky processing, adjustments to vat returns are difficult and it slows things down.
When previously attending AGMs we were always given big promises on what the system was going to be able to do, it didn't fulfil it's potential. I have 180 clients in my portfolio and only 2 still use this.
I feel very sad about this given it was a system I believed in and invested my own money in, but it just hasn't had the investment and it's not up to scratch now.

Clearbooks is simple to use, full-featured, reliable and well priced. The support team are accessible and knowledgeable. I've used the software for over 10 years and it makes for very easy reporting.

I have been using this software for many years now and I find it very user friendly. The support you get when you need to do something new is very good too. i would recommend it to any professional that does not want to wast time with the accounts.

ClearBooks is a very easy and convinient platform to use, and is much superior to its rival platforms.

I've been using Clear books for years and love it. The support is brilliant too, which I need now and again because I'm not an accountant 😃

we've been using Clear Books for over a 10 years now, the software is easy to use and robust and is always been reviewed and improved.

support from the team is really good too

All the functionality I need plus lots more. Always updating with improvements. Great support from the service centre.

I recently opened an account with Clear Books for my new company and am impressed with Clear Books’ onboarding experience. I had a representative take me through an online tutorial, and he also made himself available by phone or email to answer any queries, which I have made use of a couple of times. In this era where so many companies are scaling back customer service, I am impressed with the levels of personal support offered by Clear Books.

Good value and a great product, has saved me a lot of time already!

Easy system helpful people at end of phone who are patient and sympathetic. Simple to phone and get through to a human who will expertly guide you and help you set up things to meet your needs.
Opposite of trying to deal with a Government Agency! That is meant as a compliment.

ClearBooks is an easy to use and reliable software and the support staff go over and above to help you when you need them. The phone is answered quickly and the agents are very knowledgeable. Good old fashioned 'service' which is pretty rare these days! Thank you Jamie and Tommy.

As a person that is new to accountancy software, I have to give particular credit to how supportive team are. They have really helped me understand the system in detail and all took time to understand my business and how the system can be best utilised for it. The system itself is easy to use once you get the hang of it, so I really like the auto bills element and the fact you can have a bank feed. Really has made my job so much easier! Follow up calls from the team have been well received too and not intrusive. Thanks guys!
