While I usually use QBO for my A/R and A/P, there are times when it is either too slow, too expensive, or doesn't give me the workflow I need. When that happens, I turn to Forwardly.com for instant payments.

Forwardly's team really gives the impression that they care about their product and the customer experience, and they've proven that to us time and again. Their product, as it is today, is probably a 4 or 4.5 star product, and is a huge improvement from when we started with them (just 10 months ago). Their customer service, however, is easily 10 or 15 stars, and we love them for it.
