GoDaddy has a reputation for decent customer support. Good integrations for ecommerce sellers - but little else.
A simple bookkeeping solution that performs well.(Image credit: GoDaddy Bookkeeping) Performance It’s immediately obvious if you have tasks to perform, like sending a payment reminder (if this is not automated). The dashboard gives details on profit and loss, current expenses, your current timesheet and open invoices. GoDaddy is very easy to use, and its design, layout and language is well pitched for its freelancer and sole proprietor audience. Then you can start work, whether that means categorizing expenses or sending an invoice. Link a bank account or credit card to the software, and let GoDaddy pull in your recent transactions. As such, it is extremely easy to set up, and requires no specialist or technical knowledge. Talking of which, the ‘new events’ and ‘invoice activity’ links (under the overview tab) give useful up-to-the-minute information.Ĭompared to some accounting packages GoDaddy is a simple solution that looks to solve simple problems. But they are exactly what cash-strapped freelancers want to know. ‘Money I have’ and ‘Money I owe’ are not sentences usually uttered by financial professionals. Interface and usabilityĪgain, the dashboard language gives a clue as to who GoDaddy thinks its customers are. Unlike many rivals, GoDaddy will also estimate quarterly tax, if you assign income and expense categories to each transaction. A profit and loss report is also included, as are reports on sales by state, income, top customer, top vendor and spending. GoDaddy also offers reports, most of which are aimed at freelancers and small ecommerce sellers who want to keep an eye on sales and expenses. There is no project management feature, however, and a package like FreshBooks is a better option if you value both these features. You can enter billable and non-billable time and easily convert hours worked into an invoice. GoDaddy also has a time tracking feature, and though it is not particularly sophisticated some rivals - like Wave Accounting - don’t offer one at all. We particularly liked the ability to categorize business and personal expenses, a useful feature for freelancers who use one account for both and individuals who run small ecommerce businesses on the side. This is by no means a comprehensive accounts payable solution, but it does a good job of helping one-person businesses organise simple expenses. GoDaddy also offers good expense tracking tools. Freelancers will be extremely happy to know when their estimates have been viewed and, more importantly, accepted. GoDaddy does a similarly thorough job with estimates. It’s even possible to schedule recurring invoices, though this is only available at the most expensive of GoDaddy’s three price plans. None of this is unique or groundbreaking, but it is useful, and not all of its rivals offer such a comprehensive invoice service.
