We were also able to ingrate with our accounts software. We struggled before with credits on accounts and over or under payments but FM is a breeze. It was reasonably easy to set up FM but of course we lost our club history with the previous software so it is worth saving as much history as you can. Customer support is very responsive. The website is also a nice feature and reasonably easy to update. > > **Cons**: FM comes with a host of features like holiday programmes, venues and bookings, etc. Some do not exactly fit what we want to do but we have so far managed to find work arounds. > > FM has worked very well for us compared to our last software. Our club has grown dramatically so it's great to have a system that is quick and easy to mange membership reducing admin time. ----- ### "Never use this company\! Keep looking for another soltuon." — 1.0/5 > **Dan** | *28 June 2022* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has failed twice now with the automatic payment function costing our organisation over $20 000 in lost revenue and all they said was sorry, sorry does not pay the bills > > **Cons**: No accountability and will leave you in the dark > > Wost experience you can possibly have ----- ### "WKAFC - Friendly Manager Review" — 5.0/5 > **Maggie** | *3 April 2022* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy to use and allows us to keep track of the wide range of programmes we run at our football club. It is also easy to keep track of registrations, and outstanding invoices. Useful to have all this information in one place. > > **Cons**: It would be useful to be able to customise membership reports i.e., filter out values in a given column without first downloading to CSV. Possibly there is a way to do this, but I haven't been able to do so myself. > > The customer support has been great\! Always quick, and very helpful. ----- ### "Great Software" — 4.0/5 > **Jo** | *4 April 2022* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very user friendly for our members. It has specific reporting features that we need for our governing body and also for us to track our membership. Fees and invoicing are quick and easy. > > **Cons**: The syncing with Xero can be a little frustrating as it only syncs on the hour. Emails often go to members 'junk'. > > Overall our experience with Friendly Manager has been a good one. We have not had any major problems and the staff are always very helpful and friendly. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/84581/friendly-manager?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/84581/friendly-manager) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
