Testimonials ⭐

I have used Gimbla software for the last couple of months and I have found it to be a great tool and it has now replaced my use of Wave which I used before. I have found it simple to use and gives me everything I need to help run my business and do bookkeeping. The best thing is the team at Gimbla and how open and responsive they have been.

Having used some of the major accounting software options over the years as a CPA for small business clients, I was very pleasantly surprised to find Gimbla, as a free option, that offers all the basic functionality for small business accounting. And it is very intuitive, simple to set up, and easy to add and edit accounts and transactions. Gimbla is a pleasure to use compared to the more rigid and complicated major accounting offerings. I was also really impressed with the quick and helpful response that I got to a couple of questions emailed to support.

Cablemax moved to Gimbla in the 1st of October after some years on Waveapps. We couldn't be happier with the move. Support has been outstanding, not that we have needed much as Gimbla is simple and straightforward. It does everything we need without added complexities. Our accountant has also praised Gimbla for its intuitive interface and functionality. Highly Recommended.
