(Original )Information
What do you like best about LiveFlow?

LiveFlow is the single most significant piece of software transforming how I run my business in 2022.

QuickBook is a pain to use and doesn't give me the type of insight into my business's financials that I need in order to manage day-to-day operations.

With LiveFlow, I can connect all of my QuickBooks data to a spreadsheet and create custom reports that show me exactly what I need to know. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LiveFlow?

It's a little bit difficult to figure out how to use at the beginning, but their customer support team helped me create custom reports that absolutely transformed how I manage my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- Knowing how my business fares in terms of short-term and long-term financial forecasting

- Managing my day-to-day operations from a finance standpoint

- Simplifying my financials down to the absolute "need to know's" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LiveFlow?

LiveFlow makes it so much easier to pull reports for clients. Tasks that would have taken me 15 minutes, now only take 2. It saves so much time because you don't have to keep pulling the same report, liveflow updates it in real time! Game Changer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LiveFlow?

One thing LiveFlow could improve on is the customization options for the reports. There doesn't seem to be as many options to customize the report as there is in QBO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

LiveFlow is solving the problem of us having to pull new reports any time an update is made in QBO. With LiveFlow, it all updates in the budget or whatever spreadsheet we are using automatically. It saves so much time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LiveFlow?

The easy connectivity and the way to build reports in google sheet using LiveFlow and getting the information from QBO live is Amazing!

With LiveFlow I could create my reports in the way that I need and the company needs and for that always with the info updated! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LiveFlow?

Probably should exist an easy way to connnect LiveFlow when is created a copy of a sheet of google sheet that already has a connection using LiveFlow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

LiveFlow solves my problem of info updated in real time when it comes to estimations based in historical data and the preparation of the closing reports. That saves me a lot of time because I don't need to be downloading information from QBO every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LiveFlow?

Very easy to connect my financial models and forecasts with the actual Quickbooks data.

They have a lot of templates that work for businesses within different industries and the online dashboard functionality is very robust and adaptive.

The customer service team was very helpful with onboarding and providing ongoing support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the models / templates do not save formulas that I manually edited. Some of the titles do not auto-upload when new categories have been added to Quickbooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LiveFlow?

I like liveflow since it allows us accountants to do our tasks such as reconciliations, matching of accounts and transactions, and accounting analysis, real-time. The features that allow us to add reports, manage reports, and refresh them as soon as we make changes in Quickbooks is a real game changer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LiveFlow?

I do not have any real issues when it comes to liveflow. Maybe if we can have any formatting that we can apply to the reports, that would be helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LiveFlow?

LiveFlow replaces a significant portion of hardcoding and reduces time spent going back and forth between reporting software, modeling software, and QBO. It really expands the modeling capabilities you have in Sheets. The drill down option is great especially when working on multiple client accounts so you don't have to keep switching QBO files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LiveFlow?

I did like the pop-up window a bit more than the new side dashboard. It gets a bit cluttered when you have lots of reports in a model. I also wish there was a way to mark reports as "locked" so they don't update when I hit "refresh all". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have significantly fewer input tabs to deal with and it let's me create larger models with fewer working parts. It is particularly helpful in cutting down the amount of hardcoding required thanks to the retroactive updating and QBO linkage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LiveFlow?

I've been using LiveFlow for about a year now, and I'm incredibly impressed. It's streamlined my workflow significantly and made building custom financial reports for my clients a breeze. The automatic refresh function is particularly helpful. The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, even for someone who isn't particularly tech-savvy. I've already recommended this software to several colleagues, and I know they'll love it as much as I do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LiveFlow?

The only improvement that I can think to mention is that LiveFlow does not pull in budgets that are input to the accounting software, in my case QuickBooks Online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

LiveFlow seemlessly integrates to Excel or Google Sheets, allowing me to create customized reports for each of my clients. I'm able to expand upon canned accounting software reports, adding value to my clients businesses and unlocking additional operational insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LiveFlow?

The system is super easy and intuitive. I was able to create my reports within two weeks of signing up. The customer support team is incredibly friendly and always available. I'm so happy with it—I just wish I had discovered this system earlier! It makes our work so much easier. I use it every day for all our programs, and other users have had no trouble adopting the system since it works directly with Excel, the same file we already use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LiveFlow?

I LOVE THE System , dislike in not an option Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have limited users in QuickBooks, but I was still spending a lot of time running reports for each individual team. Now, they have the reports in their hands and just need to refresh them to see the updates.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LiveFlow?

LiveFlow is the product we've been dreaming of! It gives us the ability to share current, accurate financials with key players without the need to login or even have access to our accounting software.

We can show a consolidated view of all companies in our portfolio even though each has a separate QuickBooks company. I also love that we can group any companies together into individual workspaces to customize reports for each unique leader. It also allows custom reporting to show uniquely selected pieces of the GL. Furthermore, being able to drill into the numbers to see the data and seamlessly click into QuickBooks if necessary is incredibly helpful!

The onboarding process was fantastic as well. High level of support and follow up. They even had a member of the dev team join to learn ways they may be able to increase value and meet the needs of their customers. Honestly super impressed with everyone on the team, their knowledge and goal to be the highest value product they can be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LiveFlow?

Mapping the GL accounts on set up is slighly time consuming but even this aspect is reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

LifeFlow allows us to provide detailed and up the the minute financials to key players in the organization that don't live in QuickBooks like the finance team does. Leaders are able to get the information they need to make decisions right from a spreadsheet. We also value the consolidation of our multiple companies in different combinations as needed to customize based on each unique stakeholder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
