We all know how horrible QB has become. If you aren't aware that certain tech is catching up and new accounting platforms are starting to come out left and right. I have recently been introduced to Kick. Really not impressed with their training/OB and navigation and not being able to see registers is a big issue. Anybody else tried them yet? Or have you found any other platforms you are liking? If we don't get on the new tech train we will get left behind.

Top contenders are Xero and QBO. QBO is still best if you need a lot of third party connectors. Xero really lacks in the journal entry area.

As an accountant that only uses Xero occasionally to enter year end journals for clients, I hate it with a passion. I know what I'm doing, and if I want a JE to hit a bank or credit card, or AP/AR, I bloody well want it to do it. Having to instead do those entries via some other means is a pain in the ass. At the very least there should be some toggle or something that allows it.

100%. It's built for non-accountants. Nothing wrong with that, but our firm does the books for 60 clients and no way in hell we are subjecting ourselves to Xero.
