I use it most to track expenses and to create costumer quotes. > > **Cons**: At the moment there isn't something I dislike. One function I wish it had would be to tailor it to all kinds of businesses, like construction. > > I have been using Zoho for quite a bit of time now and I like their Free version, if you choose to upgrade it still doesn't break the bank. Zoho is a great tool for all ----- ### "Zoho for keeping personal tracks" — 4.0/5 > **Md** | *3 August 2026* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Zoho Books is honestly a fantastic tool if you’re running a small business or want to keep it for tracking personal expenses and want to put your accounting on autopilot without spending a fortune. It handles the daily grind like sending out invoices and matching up bank statements incredibly well. Plus, if you already use other Zoho apps like their CRM, everything connects perfectly right out of the box. They even have a free plan. I use it for making sure I am paying bills, getting the money I gave people. > > **Cons**: Zoho puts strict caps on how many invoices and bills you can log each year, meaning you might be forced to upgrade to a pricier plan even if you don't need the extra features. It also doesn't play as nicely with outside apps compared to giants like QuickBooks. > > Overall it helps me manage my finances and keep the track of my costs. Also, UI needs to be updated a bit including the dashboard. ----- ### "Solid for non-bookkeepers" — 4.0/5 > **Dylan** | *23 March 2026* | Online Media | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, multi-currency support, good customer service (although I haven't had to contact anyone in quite some time), easy customizable invoices, nice interface. As someone doing my own books who's not a trained bookkeeper, this software gets the job done. > > **Cons**: With having to add more customers/vendors to my account over time, the bill has risen quite a bit (CAD$120 back in 2020 to CAD$309 annual today) for essentially the same features. Reporting features can be confusing at times. Searching for transactions can be difficult as you can only seem to search for certain fields that you applied to the transaction. There's no way to search attached invoices or transaction notes for example. ----- ### "Zoho Books a complete solutions especially with Zoho Billing" — 5.0/5 > **Charles** | *30 April 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Integration with so many other different apps Zoho has in addition to the 3rd party apps. I particularly use the Zoho Billing app they have to bill customers automatically each month and the results are auto-recorded in Zoho Books. I had to do that manually before with other software. > > **Cons**: There were slow to integrate with well known vendors for payroll like Gusto likely because they were coming out with their own implementation of payroll, which is now available for all 50 USA states. > > It's a complete solution. I also have automated billing I utilize with Zoho Billing and it integrates perfectly. The automated bills get charged and it records the results and if it's paid automatically in Zoho Books. ----- ### "Software that does what it says and runs rather well" — 4.0/5 > **Luke** | *9 June 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was really useful to be able to link my bank account to the software so that I didn't need to import all of my ingoing/outgoing transactions manually. It also gives a good overview of your profits/expenses/gross profit. > > **Cons**: It was a bit more complicated to navigate than Quickbooks and automating recurring invoices felt a bit fiddly and over-complicated. Another small problem is that it doesn't import your bank transactions until the day after the transaction has taken place, despite refreshing the feed. I like to log my income/expenses the moment the transaction goes through to keep on top of my books. > > A good piece of software that does what you need it to, but perhaps more suited to small - medium businesses rather than sole traders as quite complex. No real issues, but I did decide to choose an alternative software as it suited my sole trader needs more for a good price. ----- Page: 1 / 28\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/392386/zoho-books?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/392386/zoho-books) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
