Review

This article appears to have been written by a marketing person or department. Every sentence has "ZipBooks" in it (which is actually a bad thing, for all you SEO types out there, since it mentions the topic far too often). The article needs to be completely rewritten to remove all the peacock terms.

Reviewing the sources used in the article

Can be used for establishing notability

This one is a very weak one for notability as it's a brief mention. I would want at least two other sources to go with it. "Sorenson Advertising rebrands, Free tax filing help, Uintah County office earns SAMY award, ZipBooks earns grant". www.heraldextra.com. Herald Communications. Jan 31, 2017. Retrieved November 6, 2017.
This is a solid reliable source and helps establish reliability. Kepes, Ben (May 6, 2016). "ZipBooks wants to shake up the accounting software market by helping customers collect cash". www.computerworld.com. IDG Communications, Inc. Retrieved November 6, 2017.
Another very solid reliable source and helps establish notability. It's also a negative review, which helps keep it balanced. "ZipBooks Review & Rating". pcmag.com. Ziff Davis, LLC. PCMag Digital Group. August 3, 2017. Retrieved November 6, 2017.
This is a weak source (four paragraphs), but could be combined with multiple other sources in helping to establish notability. Fineberg, Seth (March 31, 2017). "App Watch on Intuit, ZipBooks and Zoho Books". www.accountingweb.com. Sift Media. Retrieved November 6, 2017.

Not acceptable for establishing notability

This one seems to be an installation guide more than anything else. I don't think it would be acceptable for establishing notability. Wallen, Jack (May 9, 2016). "ZipBooks offers feature-rich cloud-based accounting software for free". www.techrepublic.com. CBS Interactive. Retrieved November 13, 2017.
Just a ranking list with a very passing mention. It is #1 on the list, but has no real coverage of the product or the company. "TOP 50 SMALL-BUSINESS SOFTWARE PRODUCTS". www.g2crowd.com. G2 Crowd, Inc. August 16, 2016. Retrieved November 6, 2017.
A list of grant recipients. Does not establish notability. "2017-TCIP-Recipients-PDF-1.pdf" (PDF). business.utah.gov. Governor's Office of Economic Development, State of Utah. Retrieved November 6, 2017.
