Clarity Accounting

Clarity Accounting

I started looking at Clarity as our business needs are changing and we now need to operate the business in multiple currencies.

Unfortunately, while KashFlow allows us to invoice clients in multiple currencies, it cannot handle our bank accounts being in multiple currencies.

I suspect that this is quite a common requirement, especially for UK businesses who have clients in Europe.

Clarity to the rescue!  Multiple currencies seems to be their do-different.

Compared to Freshbooks, or even KashFlow, Clarity’s feature set is quite small.  There’s no credit card gateway integration, no time sheets, no project management.  Luckily, we don’t need any of that stuff.

What Clarity does provide is a robust and well-thought-out piece of accounting software which is easy and intuitive to use.

We’ve yet to assess how easily we can integrate with their API but, based on the rest of the application, I’m willing to bet it should be OK.

There are three extra features which give you an idea of the quality of the engineering behind the app.

First, there’s the ability to give access to multiple users with different access privileges.

Second, there’s an automatic and detailed change log so you can see which user did what and when.

Third, there’s the ability to handle accounts from multiple companies within the same Clarity account – which makes their already very reasonable $10/month subscription seem great value.

We’re playing with their 30-day trial at the moment, I’ll report back when we’ve put Clarity through its paces a little more thoroughly.
