Supportive and helpful
Being a complete novice and just starting my own business I wanted an easy accounting system that would enable me to keep records and submit accounts for tax with as little time and hassle as possible. I chose Quickbooks and signed up for a free tutorial session with one of their experts. The lady that contacted me, on time, was so friendly and helpful. She was very patient and by the end of my session, I felt ready to get started and really pleased with my choice. I was then sent a follow up email with lots of video tutorials to help me along the way and access to further support wih the experts if I need it. Super impressed.

Chigo was extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about Xero. He took the time to walk me through the software, answer all my questions and explain how I could make better use of its features to streamline and automate tasks within my business. He made everything feel much easier to understand, and I left the call feeling more confident about using Xero to manage my business finances. I really appreciated his support and would highly recommend him!

Onboarding call for new users
I had an onboarding call with John after using the system for a few months. It was brilliant! The call was really useful so I'd recommend anyone new using the system to do the video call. We screen shared and worked through the functionality of the system as well as addressing any questions that I had gathered over the first few months. I've also rewatched the video to further update my system and John sent loads of additional "help" videos by email relating to the things that we had discussed. Thank you John!

Grreat customer service and a speedy resolution to my issue.
I'd been struggling for hours to reconcile my P&L to this quarter MTD for income tax submission. Tried everything. I then raised a case and within hours had some guidance and with the assistance and guidance of Julius on the support team, I understood the discrepancy and have now successfully uploaded the data to HMRC. I've saved the "how to" instructions in my case notes just in case I can't recall why there could be a mismatch ;-). A great result arising from my first contact with Xero support and beats the socks off the person from my accounting firm!

They actually built the door for AI agents
I run payroll for my small marketing company through Gusto. Today I connected my AI assistant directly to Gusto using their official MCP server. It was a simple sign in and approve. No API keys to hunt down, no developer program to apply for. My assistant was reading my payroll data within minutes. Other software companies make you beg for API access. Gusto just built it. This is how it should work.

I'm surprised to see the low reviews for Gusto as I have not had the experience others seem to be having. I've used Gusto for two businesses now: a brick-and-mortar pet service business with ~8 employees and my solopreneur biz operations business. In both cases, the platform has been a saving grace in making payroll, payroll tax, and unemployment insurance compliance easy and giving me one less convoluted business process to worry about. I've never had any issues with payroll, with my taxes being paid appropriately and on time. I have not used any of their other services like benefits or time tracking. I have had to interact with customer service once - a couple years back - and the interaction was good and my issue was resolved. I don't have the pet service business anymore but I've been a Gusto user collectively for ~6 years and I'm very happy with the platform.

Gusto makes the payroll part of business easy
I have been using Gusto for 2 years now. As I bring on clients I insist they switch to Gusto if they are with a different processor. Gusto has been attentive, helpful, quick, and accurate for me and I did not find those qualities in other companies. The low price helps as well. My clients are small businesses with less than 10 employees.

Great Helpdesk knowledge, experience customer service
I recently contacted Tommy on the Sage Payroll Help Desk and was very impressed with the service I received. He was friendly, professional, and easy to talk to, which made the experience both positive and reassuring. His support provided was knowledgeable and demonstrated a strong understanding of Sage Payroll. Both my queries were dealt with efficiently, and Tommy took the time to explain the issue and solution clearly, ensuring I fully understood the outcome and what to do next. It was evident that he was experienced, as he quickly identified the cause of the problem and provided practical guidance without any unnecessary delays. Tommy's confidence and expertise gave me confidence that the matter was being handled correctly. Overall, I received excellent customer service. The combination of friendliness, knowledge, and experience made the interaction highly positive, and I am help to continue to use the Sage Payroll Help Desk.

The support team was really helpful! I had made contact with multiple different people and all were extremely polite! And even though my situation was less than ideal to figure out, they did all they could and in the end helped me with my issue. The only thing I would say in terms of criticism, is maybe for the responses to be a little quicker. I completely understand they probably have a million things going on, so I’m really thankful they were even able to help me. But there were multiple times when I would respond via email to their questions, and it would take a day to get a response back.

Human Support in an Era of Excessive AI Automation
In an era where most B2B financial platforms are hiding behind unhelpful chatbots and scripted support loops, having direct access to knowledgeable human expertise is a massive operational advantage. The standing sentiment across recent user experiences—specifically regarding representatives like Pablo, Martha, and Mandy who provide immediate, clear solutions without the runaround—reflects what I look for when recommending software to my clients. Transitioning away from clunky enterprise tools or overpriced legacy options like Harvest should reduce administrative friction, not create new bottlenecks in your billing workflow. Whether you're configuring complex payment notification wording or navigating a learning curve from QuickBooks, having an accessible helpline staff that actually understands the nuances of small business bookkeeping makes all the difference. For lean ventures trying to protect their cash flow and maintain momentum, FreshBooks continues to deliver the human touch and intuitive UX required to keep focus squarely on client deliverables and sustainable growth.
