Top Rated Accounting CS Alternatives
The payroll features work well, multiple users can access a single account at one time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Accounts receivable and accounts payable are a nightmare to work with. The AP and AR functions require multiple unintuitive and confusing steps, and it's very difficult for clients to figure them out and remember how to use them correctly. If the setup with AP and AR isn't done right, getting everything corrected can take days after you or the client has started booking transactions. AP aging schedules regularly don't tie to the balance sheet, even when transactions are booked right, and support actually recommend we make adjusting journal entries to fix the problem because it would be too complicated to fix otherwise.
The invoice functionality for A/R is very lacking. Invoices have strict character limitations, making it nearly impossible to enter detailed invoices. Invoices must have a quantity listed for each item, it's impossible to just list a couple items with no quantity. We actually had a potential client who decided against working with our CPA firm (we try to get all of our clients on Accounting CS) because they didn't like the invoice features.
The software is slow and laggy, whether navigating between screens or printing reports. It can take several minutes to push out a standard monthly accounting package consisting of GL, income statement, balance sheet, and bank reconciliation for a medium sized client. Booking transactions is slow and laggy, and it's a huge nuisance if you aren't importing transactions from an Excel spreadsheet or from a Quicken file from a bank website.
If Thomson Reuters could fix the speed issues with this product and fix AP and AR, I think it would be a decent choice for small businesses and accounting firms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be sincere Accounting CS software has been a game changer and the most accounting management solution within our organization. We are fully satisfied and for the experience of 4 years we have no negative comments or any downfall concerning this platform.

I love how simple the program is to use. The payroll is easy to figure out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While I usually have good experience with customer service, sometimes it doesn't seem like the reps are very knowledgeable in the field. They know the functions but not how accountants use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It’s so easy to print reports and keep your clients organized in a reliable way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The program moves slower than my quick brain and usually when doing payroll you have a deadline and more to do after so you want the program to keep up with you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Dashboard is easy to use with good access to most functions used in the software, being able to set up custom report profile is nice so you don't have to re-create them every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Setting up custom reports and new accounts can be difficult and time consuming, some of the functionality and transitions seem to be a little outdated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Accounting CS works great for small business bookkeeping, accounting, and payroll. The software is designed to integrate with other types of software that are specifically designed for accountants. The software offers standard accounting/financial functionality as well as cash management capability. The bank reconciliation with bank feeds is a nice feature that allows the user to import bank statements directly into the software to reconcile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Accounting CS does not offer multi-currency capability. The software also lags a bit when handling clients with a large amount of data. From the transition of the old software to this new software, several reports that our firm used were lost and had to be recreated by staff at the firm (who are not ACS smarties). The report designer requires each cell to be formatted individually which creates a longer time to develop financial statements and reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
