Pros & Cons
AccountView
Pros
- Deployment is flexible: run it on your own Windows server, through a hosting partner, or as AccountView Online.
- Team and Business both include unlimited administrations, which helps groups and accounting practices.
- The modular bundles cover trade, inventory, projects and hours, so it stretches beyond pure bookkeeping.
- The vendor cites 89 integrations, including Visma AutoInvoice, Approval, UBL e-invoicing, Nmbrs and CaseWare.
- A Web API and third-party connectors such as Invantive give access to the data for BI tools like Power BI.
Cons
- It is expensive: Team starts at 137.50 euros per month, and invoicing alone costs another 55 euros per month.
- The legacy FoxPro-based architecture creates a new administration for each fiscal year, which complicates master data, according to Zenvoices.
- It is aimed only at the Dutch market and the Dutch language.
- Some features, such as the audit trail and automatic payments, need extra modules.
- There is little public user review coverage on G2, Capterra or SourceForge.

- Pro adds invoicing, Tax Pots and live feeds to Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent and Sage for £9 a month
- The Team plan adds expense cards, payment approvals and bulk payments for up to 15 users
- 24/7 in-app support on every plan
- Licensed UK bank with FSCS deposit protection
Cons
- Holds GBP only, and incoming foreign currency is converted at a 1% fee
- No general ledger or financial statements, so you still need separate accounting software
- Partnerships, LLPs, charities and non-UK businesses cannot open an account
- Cash deposits cost £1 each and are capped
- Reviews report frozen accounts and slow resolution, and there is no dedicated account manager
