Clarity Accounting Software Review

Clarity Accounting is slowly becoming a market leader in the online accounting software industry. A quick visit to clarityaccounting.com will show you that they mean business. They have a very professional and very user friendly website. The following is a review of Clarity Accounting from someone who has no stake in the company.

The Good

Clarity Accounting is a prime example of Software As A Service (SAAS). This is a new generation of software that doesn’t require you to actually purchase a physical CD. In fact, you usually don’t even have to download anything onto your computer when using SAAS. Why is this beneficial besides the fact that you don’t have to track down a pesky CD and plunk it into your computer for installation? You can access your accounting information from anywhere at any time.

For example, let’s say you have a work computer, a home computer, and a laptop. Under the traditional method you would have had your accounting data stored on one of your three computers. For this example’s sake, we’ll say you stored it on your home computer. One day you get to work and you want to check some of your accounting information; no can do, the information is at home. To combat this, you do as any rational human being would do: you decide to install the accounting information on both computers. Now you are playing the game of trying to remember what information you stored on which computer. Soon your accounting information will be updated on one computer and not on the other.

With Clarity Accounting your information is stored in one place and you can access it from any computer. Say you are on a business trip, anywhere you have the Internet you will be able to login to your account and update your information. It is the equivalent of logging into your email (very easy).

The other main advantage of Clarity Accounting is the pricing. They give a thirty day free trial period and after that they charge a measly $10 a month. Most people spend that much at lunch.

The Bad

As with all products out on the market, Clarity Accounting is not perfect. In fact, its very advantage happens to be its weakness. Some experts claim that SAAS can be a little risky. The fact that your information is being secured by a third party can make some people feel uneasy. Clarity Accounting does regular backups, and they have a good reputation, but having someone else controlling your invaluable accounting information can make anyone feel queasy.

Clarity Accounting is not for big businesses. This is a disadvantage depending on whether or not your business, church, or whatever you are accounting for is big. For $10 a month you had to guess that they were targeting the small business/ small church market.

In conclusion, if you are a small organization looking for some cheap, but quality accounting software, then Clarity Accounting may be an excellent choice for you.
