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 is great\! Give it a try" — 5.0/5 > **Karen** | *3 December 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how affordable Zoho Books is, this is a great tool for a small business. Zoho is very user friendly and has costumer support when needed. > > **Cons**: Everything you need to run your business is in Zoho. I do with there was a way to integrate it with other roofing softwares (or maybe there is and I haven't figured out a way yet) > > I started using Zoho for it's affordability and decided to keep it for it's simplicity. Zoho does what I need it to do. The feature I like most is the Estimating and Invoicing. I can keep track of all my clients on one place. ----- ### "Good to handle memberships and connects with the CRM" — 4.0/5 > **Kevin** | *28 November 2025* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We've used this for 5+ years now, it does the job of managing our memberships we sell. You can create many types of memberships and everything can be linked automatically with Zoho CRM. > > **Cons**: It lacks a bit of flexibility and the interface is not always clear, you have to dig a bit to find everything you need. ----- ### "Extremely poor flexibility or help for Small businesses. Need manual accountant" — 2.0/5 > **Girish** | *9 January 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: The tagging of transactions to different projects Meant mainly for medium and large companies with separate accounts dept > > **Cons**: Not able to handle credit card merchant statements, with the government rules. for e.g. for transactions less than 2000 the MDR is not charged GST. There is no way to handle that other than doing manual entry for each transaction. For a retail business with 1000 transactions a day, doing this is really bad. Zoho support has no solution for this. > > very poor support. No desire to even show how a feature works. Just point to documentation and leave you high and dry No customization capability No automation tools Everything is manual ----- ### "Excelled Software - Zoho Books" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *1 April 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s genuinely one of the easiest tools to get started with — very intuitive, even for someone who isn’t from a finance background. What stands out is the value for money; you get a lot of functionality without it feeling overly complex or expensive. It’s also one of the most widely used products out there and has really played a big role in transforming how businesses manage accounting today. The flexibility to customize based on business needs is a big plus, and most clients already trust and relate to the brand, which makes adoption much smoother. > > **Cons**: Customization cost can go up at times. There has to be different plans that has to be subscribed to for the customisation to work > > Very friendly software, great UI and easy to use. Customer service is also very prompt and helpful team. ----- 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
