It has mail merge which is good, > > **Cons**: New owners Access Group are terrible.

It fits in and is an inntegral part of my business ethics and workings . > > **Cons**: The only downside to the software I have ever found is the is the number of characters allowed on a line of imput. In some instances it won't allow full use of the space allotted and just cuts you out of typing. > > Have used Handisoft since the early 1990's and since the inception of ELS and SBR systems and it has always been an integral part of my business structure. Have had staff working with me in the past and they found it easy to pick up and use in a proper manner. ----- ### "product review" — 5.0/5 > **john** | *August 3, 2021* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: have been using handi tax, time management and corporate software since the product was first released. whilst there are a few small issues with the some of the reporting functions, there could be a few additional options, basically we are very happy with all aspects of the software packages. > > **Cons**: there could be some small tweaks to the reporting particularly in Time and billing > > helps in running a successful practice ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/1983611/sage-handisoft?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/1983611/sage-handisoft) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
