## Reviews

### "Access Handisoft needs to change." — 2.0/5

> **Gregory** | *June 24, 2025* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Performs adequately for HandiLedger and HandiTax.
> 
> **Cons**: Lack of ability to modify settings and layout and user controls.
Add-on services are prohibitively expensive.
Complete and utter rubbish for administrative support.
Release of 2025 software was an embarrassing failure.
Communication is rubbish - if not mostly incorrect or absent.
> 
> Overall, if there was any comparable product, we would be using it, due to the complete failure in administrative support.

### "Handisoft was once a great product, now terrible" — 1.0/5

> **Matt** | *July 22, 2024* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It was once a quality product. It has mail merge which is good,
> 
> **Cons**: New owners Access Group are terrible. Rotten customer service, never reply to emails, keep invoicing and refuse to help you - and this was when attempting to buy a product\! Forget it if you are a current user - support, once provided, is now a premium extra feature.
> 
> Once upon a time amazing\! Now you simply cannot get any help. Prices go through the roof and customer service plummets.

### "disgusting service" — 1.0/5

> **frank** | *June 28, 2024* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is a very good program - but - see below.
> 
> **Cons**: This year customer service has gone out the window. We have been with them  for 25 years and this year after they have been taken over it is 29 June and we still do not have the software to start using on Monday and they cannot expedite it. Disgusting service.
> 
> Until this year it was great but  now the multinationals have take over its time to go elsewhere.

### "Handi Tax and Handi Ledger" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *August 10, 2021* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We have been using the software for about 30 years and love the ease of use. Makes tax return preparation easy.
> 
> **Cons**: The errors have always been a bit odd. I think they should show the item number of the error for each error. They are at times, cryptic.
> 
> No problems to solve. It is a great program and does what it is designed to do. Simple to use and navigate.

### "My Review" — 4.0/5

> **Luke** | *August 3, 2021* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This was an easy to use product that works in well with our business systems.
> 
> **Cons**: However, when there are any problems with the program or questions we have it is difficult to get in contact with someone who is able to help. The email response is usually received the next day and if it is not the perfect answer or the team don't have follow up questions, it can take up to a week or two to fix something that could have been a 5 minute phonecall.
> 
> Overall we do enjoy using the software, however better support is a huge bonus for us and could one day be a reason for us to switch to another product.
