Some research I’ve done in this area on Striven is that a lot of people like the reporting feature, however, they would like more data collected for reports.
Striven works with generating tax documents and is tax compliant, however, the software does not offer payroll operations.

The software does not offer a payroll processing tool; however, Striven has a project management tool that works quite well. Striven integrates with Google Calendar and Microsoft Calendar. Striven also integrates authorize.net, Gmail, Shipstation, and Twilio into their platform.
Customer support
I contacted Strivens customer support through multiple options. The live chat is very helpful and you get a representative very quickly instead of an automated message or chatbot. They were very informative and when the representative couldn’t answer my question herself she found the answer for me.
Striven phone support was helpful in answering my questions as well. It had an automated message at first, they connected you to a representative. In less than a minute I was connected to a representative. They answered all my questions very simply and specifically. The representative tried to set me up to schedule a demo of the product software and I chose not to proceed with that. Overall great customer support.
