Float Review

PROS: I can easily use Float and integrate Xero to determine whether our cash flow is sufficient. It also gives us different real-life situations to help us decide on our next moves. Overall, Float keeps us updated with our day-to-day cash flow to ensure that we have more than enough to survive.

CONS: One of the downsides of using this software is its limitations regarding data transfers, which I have to do every day. This process is challenging to complete; nevertheless, I have to do it, especially for our accounts payables and receivables.

PROS: One of the best things that I like about Float is its ability to connect with my other accounting applications that keep the entire platform automatically updated. This saves me a lot of time uploading reports rather than doing it manually. When I first tried out Float, everything went smoothly. It only took me a few minutes to install the software to multiple computers here in the office. I like Float so much because of its capability to forecast future revenue. Plus, it is also capable of giving me sample scenarios like hiring someone, giving out annual increases, bonuses, or implementing a price increase on our products. The output serves as my guide in making the best choices to ensure that it will be a win-win situation for the clients and the company.

CONS: The application is supposed to help me foresee any negative scenarios that can cause us to lose money. However, I am not seeing this feature despite using the software for quite some time already.

PROS: I appreciate the way Float works in our company. It's swift, systematic, and accurate, especially when managing our budget and cash flow. We integrated Float with our existing accounting platform. We started noticing fewer errors or discrepancies on our excel sheets, which, for me, is a job well done. Lastly, I am thankful to Float because it allows us to create a specific scenario that helps us decide our next steps.

CONS: If you are running multiple businesses, I suggest that you purchase individual plans. Float doesn't allow combining cash flows from two or more enterprises.

PROS: Whether you're a new or seasoned entrepreneur, it's essential always to keep track of your existing cash flow. Thankfully I was able to discover Float that plays a significant role in my decision-making process. I was able to learn so many things regarding how to run a business without incurring too many debts. Aside from that, Float taught me how to make smarter decisions that resulted in our business's growth.

CONS: The App does not integrate well with team projects, which means you have to enter all tasks manually. By implication, it makes it cumbersome and very tiring. It also has the downside of loading slow for big team projects.

PROS: We are currently using Xero as our leading accounting software. I am glad that Float is allowing us to integrate this software to ensure that we have a better flow of our business. It's smart and intuitive, so what more can I ask for?

CONS: It takes some time and effort for us to make some clients understand what Float is all about. Many of them are still used to the traditional way of handling General Ledgers, so you need to explain how the program works in detail.

PROS: I genuinely value Float because of the things that it does to our business. The software itself is easy to install, use, and also integrate with other apps. We are highly dependent on Float to generate much-needed data and additional valuable information to help us get a better and bigger perspective of our business. As an entrepreneur, part of my job is to have full visibility of our cashflow. I would have more than enough time to create significant action plans that would prevent us from making significant financial mistakes and losses. Float is known for its simplicity and straightforwardness. The dashboard is brilliant and comprehensive because everything that you need can already be found on one page. I am thankful for Float because I no longer have to worry about a shortage of cash flow. It makes it easier for me to handle other issues at work.

CONS: Float is utilized by most of our employees; that is why it needs to be updated on the backend now and then. There are times where audits take time to complete, which affects our reports. Also, notifications are sometimes delayed when I make some changes to the schedule. It would be great if they can keep things up to date to avoid confusion or miscommunication within the organization.

PROS: Getting a Float subscription is something that I do not regret doing at all. I love using the platform as part of my daily work because it's so user friendly, and its features are very impressive. I have tried other platforms similar to this one, but its only Float who stood out from the rest. I decided to try it on my own, and I've never looked into other brands ever since.

CONS: Although Float is known to be very user friendly and straightforward, it is still not considered as the perfect platform. In terms of opportunities, I guess that they have to improve their overall customer experience. Whenever I send them e-mails regarding specific issues, it takes them 48-72 hours to reply, and sometimes there’s no clear resolution yet. It’s quite challenging on my end because there are a lot of urgent matters that I have to deal with using Float.

PROS: In any business, a business owner needs to know more about his cash flow status daily. Before using Float, I barely have any idea that we are running short on our cash flow. This is the reason why I ended up applying for additional business loans to make ends meet. What I like about this platform is its ability to explain to me what's going on with my cashflow. Float gives me a clear vision of all the running numbers to help me make the right choices by utilizing available resources. The Float also taught me how to control operational costs wisely so I can allocate my finances carefully and not falling into unnecessary debt at the same time. We first started using Float around a year ago. We are struggling with almost everything: sales, bills, salaries, profit, overhead costs, and so much more. The good thing about this platform is I was able to integrate my existing accounting apps easily. In a short period, I was already able to create a three-year financial forecast for my business. Also, my staff gave me good feedback about Float; that's why I'm happy that I made the right choice. Lastly, I appreciate the system so much because it's very efficient and easy to use. All I need to do is enter my data into Float, wait for a few minutes, and everything is updated and good to go.

CONS: Generally speaking, I don't have any significant problems with the application. It makes my life easier because of better visibility of our cashflow. Just one request that I would like to address to the support team is that I wish that they find a better way to improve their auditing style so we can optimize the platform further. Other than that, everything is going well.

PROS: I enjoy using this platform because its capable of giving useful and accurate solutions, no matter how big or small your business is. Before using Float, I always feel so stressed out when it comes to money matters because I am not an expert in handling cash flow. Now I can easily manage my business without having to worry about fraud since Float is cloud-based. I'm assured that all confidential information will be kept secure no matter what. I've been using this product for some time already. I also recommended them to some of my closest friends in the business.

CONS: So far, there is nothing to dislike or complain about the product. Float is something that I use every day, so I'm grateful for its contribution to my company. Should there be any negative feedback, I won't hesitate to share it.

PROS: It's easy to immerse yourself with the system because I have learned how to navigate Float in two days. One of the best things that I like about the product is it's comprehensive and easy to update dashboards. There is no need to do manual updates because the system automatically does it, and it makes us work more quickly and decide faster.

CONS: I have read that many business platforms already provide mobile access to their users. I wish that Float will soon come up with this feature, so it would be easier to create business plans even if I'm not in the workplace.

PROS: We appreciate using Float for our day to day operations because it promotes transparency. It gives us foresight on what could happen in the following days or months. The decisions that we make are not solely based on numbers and metrics. We also look into the reporting trends, and we do simulations to help us get a bigger picture of what's going on.

CONS: I noticed that Float is sometimes not updated when it comes to budget usage. There are instances wherein they factor in this month's remaining budget on next month's budget, which shouldn't be the case because this confuses the rest of the team members. I already called support and asked them to solve this issue.

PROS: We had serious issues with our cash flow a few months ago, to the point that we thought that we weren’t going to make it. That is why we decided to give Float a try because its reviews have been quite impressive. After setting it up, I was able to come up with a long term forecast that I presented to the rest of the staff. Float did an excellent job of teaching us what we are doing wrong and what needs to be done to make it better or achieve our goals. Also, one of the things that I like about Float is its affordability. I no longer have to spend a lot using other software that isn’t as productive or results-oriented as Float.

CONS: For now, I don’t have any negative insights about the product itself. Each of its features is easy to learn and understand.

PROS: Float allows me to customize the entire system and even add some external programs to help me run my business smoothly. I can also quickly and equally distribute the workload amongst my team of employees to ensure that all tasks and projects are submitted right in on time. Now I am confident that all employees can work harmoniously and effectively even if I'm not physically present in the office. I'm not an expert on platforms and software, but I am impressed with Float because I find its layout very easy and straightforward. One of the best features of this app is visualization. It gives me a clear vision of how my present projects are doing and give me ideas on how to make things better.

CONS: The majority of the employees had challenges adapting to this new system. Maybe because it consists of too many features, and they got overwhelmed. I had to gather feedback and arrange for a few training sessions to get everyone in the team up to speed. I'm very thankful that the tech support team is always there to help us out with any concerns. I think that the platform is very promising as long as you get past the learning curve.

PROS: I love that Float makes it simple to view who has availability across our large team.

CONS: There are a couple of issues: One is the app loads slowly for big teams. Second is Float doesn’t integrate with Teamwork, so we have to manually enter all tasks into the app.
