Zoho Books accounting software is an online application that provides accounting tools business owners searching for a more automated and simpler method of tracking their finances. Although Zoho Books features are pretty basic, this could be enhanced by integrating additional apps to make it a more complete application.

Features

Zoho Books aside from its standard accounting features does provide specialized functions to enhance business operations. It offers a time management feature that helps you keep track of the amount of time spent on each client. This could also be used to track the time spent on each project or on a “job” basis. You could then create an invoice after each project or service. These invoices can be sent through email or converted to a file and could be labeled as reoccurring for subscription purposes. 

Zoho Books provides a set of reporting tools for monitoring and tracking financial transactions. It can store customer information, items sold, services and even tax reports. This information could then be printed for viewing or converted to PDF files.

Zoho Books is an effective tool for helping you with most of your accounting and business concerns but it does come short in tracking inventory. This is essential especially when you’re trying to figure out your profit and loss reports. There are some ways to go around this but not having this included as a feature makes the process a little bit cumbersome.

Summary

Zoho Books is an efficient tool for simplifying basic accounting tasks. It is more ideal for small businesses that don’t require more advanced features such as inventory tracking. Apps are also available for those who are searching for more functionality but this often requires an additional purchase. At $24/month, Zoho Books is certainly pricier compared to other accounting software in our reviews that provide more functionality at a lower price.

If you are happy in your work life but would like to add more stress to it, be sure to get Zoho. Everything is difficult to figure out and support often makes things worse. There are exceptions of course. But you will spend a lot of time getting answers to seemingly small issues. Don't get fooled buy having a lot of integrated applications in one place & for one price. They all have the Zoho logo, but the integration is poor and difficult. After 2 years of trying, we still can't figure out how exactly to get the CRM customers to appear in the accounting software--some do and some don't. We have not been able to get a straight answer from their support people on what we are doing... Read More
