Assess Team Productivity

This enables you to identify inefficiencies, track expenses, and improve your firm’s overall productivity. The easy-to-read grid displays total hours by day for all staff members over a select period, as well as dollar production totals at standard rates.

But That’s Not All…

Software Integrations

Mango easily integrates with QuickBooks and their popular accounting software applications, so you can quickly carry over all your existing client data and get started right away using the accounting features you love. Even if you have years of records archived, Mango can help you take full advantage of our QuickBooks accounting program integration. Our data conversion tool can easily import information from QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Online, Outlook and Google.

Plus, Mango allows you to import invoices and payments from a variety of the most popular tax software tools for accounting professionals, including Lacerte, UltraTax, ProSeries, Drake and ATX series programs.
