Director Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Money for old rope." May 27, 2021 1.0 Rather clunky but just about fulfils its purpose. I did have a query which I emailed to 123Sheets support but it seems to have been completely ignored as I received no reply. I chose 123Sheets simply because it was, at the time I checked, the cheapest solution although seems very overpriced considering how simple it actually is. I feel they charge this amount simply because it's a requirement for submitting VAT, not for the quality of the software. Perhaps non-flat-rate users find it better value, if they use more of the features. Pros It appeared to be the cheapest for the purpose at the time that I initially signed up for it. Cons Seems clunky and not good value for money, considering how little it does. Reason for choosing 123 Sheets It is/was cheaper. Review Source DC Debra C.

Pros It interfaces well with the spreadsheet based accounting system I use. Cons No real dislikes - perhaps the software could perform some analytics to assist with financial management? Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) Reason for choosing 123 Sheets Simpler and more straightforward Review Source MG Marcela G. Accountant Mining & Metals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Tool " April 30, 2024 5.0 Great piece of software, never experienced any issues Pros Ease to operate, good customer service, Cons I believe there are no features I do not like.

Company Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great VAT Filing solution for small businesses" May 8, 2023 5.0 Pros Inexpensive and easy to use - Never a problem using it Cons No down side to this software - I only have to use it every quarter and you never forget what to do because it is so simple Review Source ME MARK E. None Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review requested" November 20, 2023 4.0 Pros Price is very good, fairly easy to use for us Cons Being logged out too soon and very often, Switched from [Xero](https://www.capterra.com/p/120109/Xero/) Bookeeper recommended the product to us a while ago Review Source JC Jane C. Director Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Not a bad product - but previous system was better" September 4, 2022 3.0 I am not solving any business problems apart from compliance. Pros It is easier to use than the instructions first suggest, which was a relief. I cannot really understand why we need this interface with HMRC. I attended the HMRC online seminar and found it very negative in tone. It is much less convenient than the previous system for a small business, and there were no costs attached to that. (This would apply to any similar products, so is not a criticism of 123 SHEETS.) Cons The link to the default form (identical to the HMRC form, which required no software) is not very obvious. For no apparent reason the typeface is tiny. I found the instructions difficult to follow on first using. They should be geared to users not very confident with software, those who are don't need them. Review Source EL Emma L. Owner Farming Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Office must" May 30, 2023 5.0 Great product and service Pros I can do my own VAT return without the expense of using my accountant. Cons None, its easy to use and suits my business needs. Review Source JW James W.

Cons There is little to dislike about this product. Review Source DG David G. Accountant Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "VAT and 123 Sheets" August 3, 2023 4.0 This is pretty puerile questioning. Pros It fulfills our obligation to file a quarterly VAT Return Cons It is a simple product to do a simple job - was this questionnaire written by someone who files VAT returns? Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Just Do It" February 18, 2021 5.0 Very positive, huge savings in time! Pros Straight forward, clear and easy to work with! Cons Up to date excel would be good-it's mainly cosmetic but that's the right way to travel Review Source dG david G. Accountant Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy submissions" February 15, 2021 4.0 Digital submissions made easy with minimum of work. Pros If you're a small business with no established accounting software this product makes the filing of digital submissions so easy, perfect , and very inexpensive. an absolute must. Cons None really. Perfect for the small business who finds itself having to be Vat registered Reason for choosing 123 Sheets Seemed the most straight forward way to comply with digital submissions. Review Source PM Paula M. solicitor Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Small solicitor's office" July 4, 2022 5.0 The software was purchased to solve the problem of filing vat returns as our own computerised account package did not have this feature and was going to be very expensive to upgrade. The software works well and is easy to use. Pros The software was used for vat filing - it is straight forward with instructions and a helpful demonstration Cons Don't think there is anything we don't like. Reason for choosing 123 Sheets The online reviews said it was easy to use Review Source MR Michael R. Director Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent easy to use software " December 7, 2020 5.0 Pros Easy to use and good value especially for a small business which still uses spreadsheets and does not need a complicated accounting system at a higher cost Cons Nothing, there is nothing I did not like. Alternatives considered [Xero](https://www.capterra.com/p/120109/Xero/) Reason for choosing 123 Sheets I did not need all the functionality of Xero and so chose Sheets123 as it suited my business better and the cost was cheaper Review Source SC Simon C. Director Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "123 Sheets" May 2, 2024 4.0 Does the job adequately, is easy to use, was easy to set up. Pros It does what is required. I dont like being forced to use anything, but as HM Government insist on going digital this is probably the easiest to use and value for money Cons The fact that I HAVE to use bridging software. This is not the fault of 123Sheets, rather it is a mandatory requirement from HMG Review Source KD Kay D. Partner Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product " May 16, 2023 5.0 Great Pros Easy to use and all VAT returns are easy to find keeps you on track Cons Everything is great I like how easy it is and keeps a track on your Due dates etc Reason for choosing 123 Sheets No Expensive software to buy i like the bridging Review Source SS Simon S. Director Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Refreshingly clean and direct" May 5, 2021 5.0 Pros Quarterly VAT with MTD sounded like a lot of research and the usual hundreds of pounds but not so.. 123 Sheets is stripped down to the basics and very simple, just their spreadsheet template of the 9 boxes to download, save to my computer for my records, fill in the 9 boxes like normal, and click Upload. Nothing else. I keep feeling I've missed something, that no-one makes things this uncluttered anymore. Thank you very much. Cons There is nothing extraneous so there was nothing to like least. Review Source CG Carl G. Director Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Let's keep it simple" February 7, 2024 5.0 Pros The thing I liked most about 123 sheets was how easy it was for me to use from the start.
