In this excerpt from the YouTube video "What sets Financial Cents apart from other accounting practice management software systems?", speakers A and B discuss how the fact that the product is built by non‑accountants gives Financial Cents an advantage. Because the developers don’t assume they know accountants' needs, they actively solicit user input, ask clarifying questions, and adapt the software based on real‑world feedback. They also highlight a dedicated Facebook group where users can post questions, receive quick answers, and let the community collectively decide on best practices, creating a transparent, collaborative support environment. This approach contrasts with other accounting‑focused apps that presume they understand user requirements, positioning Financial Cents as more responsive and user‑centric.

You know, not being an accountant, I think it's actually an advantage for us because like you guys were talking about, some people don't listen, right? Some apps out there, they, they are accountants and they assume they know what you want.
I was just going to say, you don't come from a place where you know it all. You're like, what do you need? Help me out here. Teach me. Let me know. Let me absorb this. And then you make it work. Exactly.
And like you said, like anytime I ever have a question, Like I'm thinking, wait, how should we do this? I just go to the Facebook group. I just drop the question in and I'm like, hey, it could be something small. And that way there's no doubt in my mind and we let the majority decide.
