I work as a freelance writer and business consultant so my accounting needs are relatively low scale but a lot of the cloud based solutions out there have far too much going on that I simply don't need. The beauty of Big Red Cloud was that it did everything I needed in one place and it couldn't be easier to use. What's more the flat low monthly fee makes it incredibly affordable. I cannot vouch for its effectiveness in dealing with more demanding accounting needs however as a freelancer/sole trader I can't rate it highly enough. ----- ### "Very Good" — 4.0/5 > **Tyler** | *07 March 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It did increase our profit margins greatly. It also allowed us to expand the business with our increased profit margins. > > **Cons**: Was a learning curve to how the software worked. It was a little different than what we were used to but other than that it is a great piece of software. ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/128928/big-red-cloud) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
