I'm loving Parachute!
It's so easy to get around, and I really appreciate being able to add multiple children to one invoice. It makes everything simpler and saves me a ton of time.

Better than my previous accounting software.
Parachute gives extra business insights right on the homepage. Setting up invoices is a breeze and the way parents can easily pay them on their end.
