A few suggestions for Zoho Books

A few suggestions for Zoho Books

Hello. I've been evaluating Zoho Books for a small law firm practice. The interface is solid and I like the integration of accounting and time tracking, which is hard to find among cloud based services. I have a few suggestions that would be very helpful in determining whether we can adopt Zoho Books:

1. Be able to assign bills to clients/projects. Quickbooks desktop allows this and is very helpful in keeping track of bills that haven't been paid, but will be invoiced to clients as an expense. Creating an expense doesn't solve the problem because then you don't know that it is payable.

2. The Timesheet/Projects section needs improvement and more information. More specifically, we need a better way to view unbilled hours AND expenses on a per client/project basis, with totals for each project and the business as a whole. I can do this through a combination of the dashboard, projects pane and various reports, but there is no single screen that displays this information clearly. Ideally, the timesheet/projects section would have more information about the status of each project, with totals for unbilled time/money and expenses, so we can easily see what needs to be billed. The dashboard view is confusing and the project summary report provides only part of this information (no expenses) in a tiny section of the report.

3. Be able to create invoices using projects/tasks without creating individual time entries first. Right now, invoices can only be created using items.

4. Add banking module to Android app.

Thanks!
