## Reviews

### "Excellent practice management for small accountancy practice" — 5.0/5

> **Emma** | *27 August 2019* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Cloud access - I can check my tasks at work/home/on my mobile.
Easy search function
Good record of deadlines 
Easy to use portal
Regular improvements and updates
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes it can be hard to navigate the site. 

I think clients get confused with logging in to the portal from Accountancy Manager - would love an embedded log in for my own website.
> 
> Accountancy Manager has helped organise my practice. It keeps all information securely and allows clients to update/check their information anytime; assisting us to meet the GDPR requirements. The secure portal allows us to share information and obtain electronic signature, greatly reducing our postage costs. We’ve also noticed a better efficiency and improved cash flow thanks to a more streamline way of working.
