As a fellow business owner DISAPPOINTED
As a fellow business owner, I wanted to share my experience with Uplinq in hopes that it helps others who are considering their bookkeeping or tax strategy services.
We signed up for their bookkeeping platform along with the Tax Strategist package, which advertises proactive quarterly tax planning and strategy sessions. We also paid an additional fee for 2024 catch-up bookkeeping so our books could be brought up to date.
Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing.
The catchup bookkeeping work we specifically paid for was never meaningfully completed. Over the course of several weeks, we repeatedly followed up only to be told there were technical issues with their system. Despite our patience and numerous emails, the work simply wasn’t delivered.
The tax strategy service was even more frustrating. We had an initial onboarding call with a strategist who explained that we’d be building out a customized tax strategy during future sessions. Shortly afterward, he left the company, and from that point forward everything seemed to fall apart.
For months, we had no assigned strategist, no quarterly strategy meetings, and no meaningful tax planning despite continuing to pay for the service. We reached out numerous times to different members of their team requesting updates and asking how the service would be fulfilled. Most emails went unanswered for extended periods, responses were inconsistent, or we were told someone else would follow up which rarely happened.
After months of trying to resolve everything professionally, we requested refunds for the services that had not been delivered. Their proposed resolution was to refund only the catch-up bookkeeping fee while keeping the payments for the Tax Strategist service, even though we received virtually none of the promised quarterly strategy work. They also wanted us to agree not to pursue any chargebacks or further claims as part of that resolution. We declined because we didn’t believe it fairly addressed what had occurred.
Since then, communication has essentially stopped.
Beyond the service issues, customer support was one of the biggest disappointments. It often took weeks to receive responses, getting someone on the phone was difficult, and there seemed to be a lack of ownership over customer accounts. The AI bookkeeping features also didn’t perform anywhere close to what was advertised. Transaction categorization frequently failed or required manual correction, making the automation benefits largely ineffective in our experience.
Uplinq markets itself as an AI-powered bookkeeping platform backed by accounting professionals who proactively help business owners optimize taxes throughout the year. That promise was a major reason we chose them. Unfortunately, our experience was the opposite. We experienced missed deliverables, poor communication, long delays, and very little value for the amount we paid.
Every business owner’s experience may be different, but based on ours, I cannot recommend Uplinq for bookkeeping, catch-up bookkeeping, or tax strategy services. There are many accounting firms and bookkeeping providers that provide far more responsive service and consistent follow-through.
I hope this review helps other business owners make an informed decision before committing their time and money.
