 5/5

Biggest pain point resolution for us was the collaboration abilities: chat style with the ability to "call out" particular staff members and keep the notes. I will no longer hear "the client emailed me the info" or "the client texted me the info". Indispensable with remote workers, no more broken email threads!

Working with Financial Cents is helping us bring our firm to the next level! It helps us track all work being done in the office from annual tax returns, monthly bookkeeping and payroll to just returning a call to a client. All of that translates into the excellent customer service with strive for every day with our clients.

Ease of use. It is very simple but powerful. We were considering another software until we saw Financial Cents. With it's beautiful and simplistic design, it's helped to organize our firm and keep us updated with our clients on a more regular basis than ever before.

The software is so easy to use. There are instructional videos on many of the pages to guide you as you go, but even without the videos, it's pretty easy to navigate and figure out!

The business problem we are solving with Financial Cents is two fold. First, we are improving our internal communications. Second, we are ensuring that no project falls through the cracks.

Financial Cents has one of the easiest UIs I've ever encountered. It's quick to learn, reasonably priced, and new features are constantly being released.

Why Financial Cents Outperforms Pixie

Pixie wasn't built for growing firms.

Pixie was built for solo firms and serves them well, but as your firm grows, you need specific features that make managing a growing firm easier. Financial Cents was built for growing firms. We make it easy to track the status work, manage your staff, and collaborate on work so nothing falls through the cracks.

You can't easily store client passwords and other sensitive information in Pixie

Storing all your clients’ sensitive information in one place for your team to access can help your team get their work done faster. You can easily store all your client passwords, security questions, bank info, and more in one secure location with Financial Cents.

You can't easily track ad hoc client emails in pixie

Tracking ad hoc client requests in your inbox is tough. You get hundreds of emails a day and makes it easy to get lost. You can integrate your inbox with pixie, but you can’t track those emails inside your task view. Financial Cents makes it easy to turn an ad hoc email into a task so you can track everything in one place alongside your other client work and important deadlines.

You can't track time within Pixie

You have to use other time tracking apps to track time in Pixie. Tracking time in a separate app is inefficient and has limitations. Why pay for another app when Financial Cents has the time tracking built into your workflows. Track time, bill clients, and run reports to identify over budget work, bottlenecks and which clients are sucking the profitability out of your firm.

You cannot customize work for individual clients in Pixie

In Pixie every project is tied to a template, which prevents you from customizing work on a client level. Every client is different and you need a tool that will allow you to create a standardized process customized to each client’s needs to ensure your staff gets client work done the right way every time. With Financial Cents you can apply a template to all your clients and then easily customize them for each client.

You do get as many reports and in Pixie

Financial Cents gives you all the reports you need to drive efficiencies across your firm. Easily identify over budget work, overworked staff, and which clients are sucking the profitability out of your firm at the click of a button so you can take your firm to the next level.
