Truly taken it to a new level. It does so many things so well that it is hard to not take those features for granted until you compare it to other similar software. Here are some exceptional features While not perfect, the email integration is great Creating and managing projects is relatively easy and painless Client task management is excellent and extremely useful Automations is work is great team collaboration is very good especially at the task level Mostly great utilization of screen realestate. > > **Cons**: Todo list is frustrating for me. Being a Franklin Covey person, i want more control over my todo list. I cant export my todo list either which would help mitigate this issue. Not enough control over tasks. Task list can be overwhelming and thus not useful No proactive feedback about assigned tasks or notes. IF I assign someone a task, email or note, I want to know when they have done the work and if they have not done the work. I want automatic feedback on this. I want more shortcut icons. Some steps are really "clicky" I wish there was much better app integration. This is very limited. On a task list, if a task does not apply to a client I want to mark it NA. Not delete it or mark it complete with a comment. I need more flexibility on labeling clients. For example I want a job to be flagged as extended and not just have a temporary status of completed. > > Karbon support has always been great. Higher ups are not accessible. While they always solicit feedback, it never seems to get heard. They seem to be chasing markets and customers right now and not focusing on their existing clients and how they can help them be more productive. ----- ### "Senior Client Manager/Practice Manager" — 4.0/5 > **Linh** | *3 October 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Work flow allocation and work creation are good. Easy to create work templates and budget allocation. Timesheets are great. > > **Cons**: Billing module is very tedious and still needs some work to streamline billing. There seems to be a lot of bugs still. Particularly with Xero integration. Contacts integration with Xero XPM is still not seamless. It would be good to be able to create calendar invites from Karbon - full integration to google calendar would be good. ----- ### "No way to Pay them\!" — 1.0/5 > **Dannielle** | *11 April 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: N/A their customer service wasn't great. > > **Cons**: It's weird in 2025 to come across a software that doesn't allow you to subscribe from their website. You have to go through this whole consultation process, which was several days of waiting. I tried reaching out to their customer service and also chatting with the sales team. No one could get me a trial version or order form which I found to be absurd. I'm sure if there's ever a problem you won't be able to get any support for that either so I ended up cancelling the demo and taking my money elsewhere. > > I called customer service twice. I emailed their billing department and was told by the customer service person that they would be able to help. The billing person told me I had to speak with sales. I tried chatting with sales. Nothing worked out and I wasn't able to sign up for a subscription. ----- ### "Karbon has enabled us to be more efficient, productive and profitable" — 5.0/5 > **Paul** | *31 May 2023* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The triage feature for emails and team communications is a massive time saver. Templates for work flows, and the ability to assign, view, review and action items with simple views and filters allows us to easily have a complete picture of where our workflows, outstanding actions and capacity scheduling for resource planning. > > **Cons**: Nothing really. Karbon is very responsive to our requests for improvements > > Karbon provides us with visibility over all aspects of our accounting business including communications with clients; assigning actions and status; workflow creation, scheduling and monitoring; project management; creating efficiencies and more. The new Practice Intelligence has provide even more valuable insights into our data and how we operate leading to reduced wastage and more profit. ----- ### "Accountant's view of Karbon" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *27 October 2023* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The most powerful features of Karbon are the automation elements that allow projects to flow seamlessly through the office. Communication between clients and us is solid, and the fact that the system follows up automatically outstanding client issues takes a huge workload off us. > > **Cons**: Document management is still being developed and needs further work, although the current options are quite manageable. > > Our overall experience with Karbon is sensational. The software works well, and the support we get is great (\[sensitive content hidden\] is sensational\!) and the training available solidifies our understanding of the software and ensures we maximise the benefits of using Karbon. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/104149/karbon?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/104149/karbon) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
