I just want to say your app is amazing. I have been trialing out other software like Xero, MYOB, Reckon, by far this is the most user friendly application for sole traders. No other unnecessary features. And super easy to navigate.- Dexie

I highly recommend Solo as it’s saved me hours of work and makes tax time completely stress free.- Keri
