    Hi. I also have been using Reckon for around 10 years now. I cannot fault it. As a BAS Agent I use other software programs and Reckon is the most user friendly. I have friends that have switched to Reckon after having issues with Xero. I have never experienced issues with the support team, they have always been very helpful. As mentioned by Kerri it is pushed by accountants, it is similar to a Pyramid scheme in my opinion.

    I was an accredited trainer, Bas agent and reseller for the old Quickbooks, and have used it since the very first one. I love it, I find it user friendly and makes sense to non professionals. I have used Xero, it is a good program but not geared at newbies or people who aren’t accountants. Reporting is much better in Reckon

    Hi Mary I have used both. Not as much in Xero as I found not user friendly but Reckon Accounts and Reckon One are both great software for small business. Happy to discuss.With Reckon One you can turn off the modules while say you are on holidays and switch back on when back.
