Yeah, and that makes it make sense quickly. At some point, even if you get zero application value, you might make up the difference from simply time savings in not having to manage carefully which apps go to which person, there is a little value there, too.
You might not know it but when you have Zoho One there is an admin console where you have all the users and can decide who will have access to what. You also have groups and can add apps to the group instead of each user and also set up who the admin for what applications.
Of course you could let everyone have everything but as you mentioned before there is some drawback to that as well.

I assumed that, although it's nice to know that it is true, but that is the lesser of the concerns. What would be awesome was if you could lower the cost by not providing everything, to everyone.... but that would undermine the point of Zoho One, I understand.

Like Books, we can't find a cost effective CPA that will let us use that. And trust me, we tried. We found very few that were willing to use it, and they all charged an arm and a leg to do so. We really want to move to it, but until we are big enough to pressure a firm to do it, we are stuck.
I thought you were using Wave?

That was a LONG time ago. We moved to Xero like five or six years ago, I'd guess. But then three years ago had to move to QB for forensic reasons.

What happened to that Manhattan place you used before? I thought they liked Wave but must have been Xero.

We had to move to the forensic specialists needed by our attorneys. We didn't have the luxury of using bookkeepers anymore.
That place was just our bookkeepers, They weren't accountants.

In the short time since this thread was active, we've moved into the Zoho Workplace suite now. It's almost nothing more than we had before, but a little bit of additional collaboration, some new interfaces, and hopefully some team storage. However, their conversion team hit a snag and WorkDrive isn't working yet. So we haven't been able to realize any of the real benefits, yet.

What was the problem with workdrive? Or was it moving your data to workdrive that was the problem?

No, it's having it "exist". For the first while, it acted like we didn't have it at all. If you go to the app it just gives an error and says to contact support. Then, at some point, it started working but instead of allowing us to use it, it just turned into a trial that isn't connected to our account (even though we logged in as if to use our account.) It doesn't show up in Workplace at all.
-
It's as if it isn't provisioned (I don't think that it is), but something in the system broke and then provisioned it as a trial instead of part of our account.

Ahh. In Zoho One you have to add the new app in the portal before you use it or you will get the trial version - even if you are licensed for it. It has tripped me up a few times already.
I don't know if it's the same in Zoho Workplace.
