What do you like best about Keeper?

We implemented Keeper several months ago and right away I was pleased with the efficiency and ease of use. The Keeper team has gone out of the way to make sure we understand how to use the software and are getting the most bang for our buck. It's sped up month in close, helped us catch errors we wouldn't have before, and streamlined client communication. Plus we have gotten so many comments from clients and board members about how nice our reports are. I am beyond pleased with keeper- support is great, product is great, price is fantastic, clients love it, and they keep rolling out fixes and more features. Couldn't recommend them more!

What do you dislike about Keeper?

No complaints. It's better than I expected and continues to exceed expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keeper solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeper helps with client communication, team communication and speeds up month end close for us. I originaly set out to find a way to communicate with clients about missing transactions. Keeper does that but has so many other features that I couldn't go without now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keeper?

What I like most about Keeper is how seamlessly it keeps all communication—both with my clients and my team—in one centralized location. It eliminates the back-and-forth between emails, texts, and other tools, and makes my workflow so much more efficient. The built-in organization features have been a lifesaver for staying on top of client needs and ensuring nothing slips through the cracks. Keeper keeps my business running smoothly daily! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keeper?

Nothing! I am so impressed with the Keeper team and how they are constantly improving the software and taking customer suggesstions seriously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keeper solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeper has solved one of the biggest pain points in my business—tracking and managing client communication. Before using Keeper, I was digging through countless emails to find unanswered questions or unresolved issues, and it was easy for things to slip through the cracks. Now, everything is centralized in one place, making it simple for me and my clients to see what’s still open and needs attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keeper?

My favorite aspect of Keeper is the transaction follow-up and uncategorized transaction management. It simplifies the process of reviewing and categorizing transactions, making it easy to ensure that all financial data is accurate and up-to-date. This feature saves me countless hours and helps reduce the amount of back and forth between clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keeper?

I love using Keeper.app, especially the transaction follow-up feature. It would be great to have a mobile app that allows accountants to easily add and update information on the go. This would make managing tasks and client interactions even more convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keeper solving and how is that benefiting you?

Its intuitive interface streamlines bookkeeping closures with automated reminders and checklists, keeping me organized and stress-free during month-end and year-end tasks. The transaction follow-up and categorization feature is a personal favorite, simplifying the review process and ensuring precise financial data, saving me countless hours. The client portal enhances communication and document sharing, providing a secure and transparent platform that my clients love. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keeper?

Huge fan of Keeper! We've been using it for a few years now and love how much it helps us with month end closes, client communications and organizing our tasks. The quality control checks for month end we're able to do much more easily with the help of Keeper's built in transaction filters. The client portal is simple and easy to use for both bookkeepers and clients, making those huge excel sheets a thing of the past. We also love how Keeper is always valuing their customer feedback and improving Keeper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keeper?

Sometimes I wish the UI was a little prettier, but its simplicity makes it easier for people to use. I hope they have public API in the future as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keeper solving and how is that benefiting you?

Client task management, month end quality checks, receipt management, 1099's, client communications, onboarding new client intake, and firm tasks. We're looking at the time management and considering using it.

It's benefiting us having such a great tool to use for month end closes and keeping track of tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keeper?

Keeper allows me to communicate directly with clients about uncategorized transactions and share documents easily. Reports can include metrics and executive summaries, which help clients better understand their financial data. The W9 request feature makes it very easy to collect signed W9s from vendors and contractors directly through the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keeper?

Updating close status must be done invdividually and cannot be done in a batch. Intercompany journal entry transfers also must be done one at a time. A feature allowing multiple at once would save a lot of time.

I'd like more flexibility with report titles, subtitles, and per-client rounding options.

I'm still using ClickUp for task management as I am unable to customize tasks in Keeper how I want.

I would also like an archive for past announcements instead of having to delete them or just having one long, ongoing list of announcements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keeper solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeper streamlines client communication by providing a centralized portal where I can discuss uncategorized transactions and share documents easily.

Advanced reporting features are included eliminatimng the need for another monthly reporting subscription.

The W9 request feature makes it easy to get W9s from clients' vendors and contractors. It saves time trying to get them to email a signed W9 on their own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keeper?

I especally love the client portal for easy Q&A, document sharing and bill/receipt entry. Customer service is very responsive, and the developers are constantly providing improvements and new features. I use it every day - my Chrome window opens to QBO, Keeper and Gmail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keeper?

The lack of continuous sychronization (like Drive for instance) causes a break in workflow because I cannot upload a file to a transaction I just created directly in QBO without leaving to refresh the data. This becomes a little less of a bother as new options are added to the Receipt feature, thus reducing the reliance on entering directly to QBO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keeper solving and how is that benefiting you?

Getting answers and documentation from clients on a regular basis.

Keeping tasks for myself and questions for my clients organized so nothing is forgotten.

What do you like best about Keeper?

Ever since our first onboarding call, Keeper has been with us every step of the way! They make life easier for our team's bookkeepers, CPAs, and clients. Their team is always releasing new features and taking input/feedback from users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keeper?

Currently a user can only send a client emails/questions through Keeper from a single email address. I wish I could select to send it from my own email address so that if the client responds to the email, it comes directly to my inbox, and the client easily knows which team member is reaching out to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keeper solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeper allows our team to create filtered views of their clients so that they can easily identify the stage of the close that clients are in, and who is remaining on their queue. Managers can quickly discover how the closes are progressing for bookkeepers, what items are outstanding from the client, and have access to notes from previous closes, as well as the ability to tag teammembers in comments within a specific item. So when a teammember clicks on the notification, they are taken directly to the issue rather than having to hunt for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a whole lot honestly. It would be great to have the ability to process emails through Keeper to keep our communication in one place Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keeper solving and how is that benefiting you?

1099's use to be a massive time suck for our firm. The ability to track it accurately during the year saves us a ton of time during 1099 season. It also has allowed us to standardize our financial packages and processes for all of our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keeper?

As a bookkeeper, I've been using Keeper since July 2024 and it's completely transformed my workflow. This platform is a true time-saver, streamlining processes that once required tedious manual work.

One of my favorite features is the "Ask My Accountant" function. It's significantly reduced the time spent creating and managing Google Sheets for client questions. The mass categorization tool is incredibly efficient, allowing me to quickly and accurately assign transactions. Additionally, the 1099 preparation process is seamless, saving me countless hours.

The white-labeled client portal is the perfect finishing touch. It provides a professional, branded experience for my clients, while also giving them easy access to their financial information.

Keeper is constantly evolving, actively listening to user feedback to deliver continuous improvements.

If you're a bookkeeper looking to boost efficiency and enhance client satisfaction, I wholeheartedly recommend giving Keeper a try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keeper?

I'd like to see a calendar view option for tasks in addition to the KanBan board and list view.

Also, the client dropdown menu could be improved by excluding archived clients to avoid confusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keeper solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeper is committed to user satisfaction and regularly updates the platform to address feedback and enhance the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keeper?

I love that keeper allows us to edit QBO transactions in their software. It makes it so incredibly easy to recode transactions in bulk as well. We can batch reclassify different aspects of each transaction that QBO itself doesn't offer. I also love the client communication aspect of Keeper. I can easily send out an email blast to all or specified clients. Additionally, I love the different views we can customize to see exactly what I need to see and my coworker can have her own view. The task view is also pretty amazing and completely customizable to my needs. The 1099 feature that is available in each close makes it so much easier for me to compile a list of my client's contractors and request missig W9s all from the same place. Amazing. The last and my most valued feature is the Client Portal. It makes it so easy to ask my client questions on each specific transaction. I've never used anything else that is as helpful as the client portal. We can even use the client portal to ask non transaction related question such as request for statements and reciepts. Literllay a life saver. I love Keeper Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keeper?

Sometimes the practice email gets disconnected but its usually simple to fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keeper solving and how is that benefiting you?

Communications with clients. Super easy to ask my clients for what I need in one place that keeps records I can go back into. I can also keep track of who has not completed their tasks from the close view very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's making everything related to month end closes easier and faster and BETTER. Less mistakes, and easy to pass off to my team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
