The VAT return files to HMRC directly and has never once been queried. Recurring invoices and payment reminders run without attention. Function beat fashion, we bank the difference.
Pros

Cons
Dated, functional interface

Branded client portal on invoices; uK VAT filing included free
Cons
Forum first support model

Capable software that expects you to meet it halfway. Ledger size limits eventually push everyone to Power User, which is fair.

For straightforward UK books the product is complete, ledger to VAT. The community forum has an answer for nearly everything, usually from the developers themselves.
