Our bookkeeper got two days a month back

I run the books for three related companies and this is the first system that has kept up. Free accountant login on every plan. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works

VAT201 output that transfers cleanly to SARS eFiling. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains.

What does not

The interface has not aged well.

Migration was painful, the result was worth it

We moved across from a desktop package eighteen months ago and I would not go back. Direct bank feeds for Absa, FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank and Capitec. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works

The deepest pool of trained local bookkeepers in the country. VAT201 figures come out right without a manual working paper. The audit trail has answered every query our auditors raised.

What does not

Reporting beyond the standard pack still ends up in a spreadsheet.

Finally a ledger our accountant does not complain about

We moved across from a desktop package eighteen months ago and I would not go back. VAT201 output that transfers cleanly to SARS eFiling. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

VAT201 output that transfers cleanly to SARS eFiling. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work.

What does not

Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.

Bank feeds alone justify the subscription

Does the compliance work without being asked

We moved across from a desktop package eighteen months ago and I would not go back. VAT201 output that transfers cleanly to SARS eFiling. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

Solid, boring, and that is exactly what I wanted

Our practice put four clients on this before we moved our own business across. The deepest pool of trained local bookkeepers in the country. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works

Free accountant login on every plan. Month end close has dropped from six days to two. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly.

What does not

Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.

Works well once you accept its limits

It has been fine, with a couple of persistent irritations. VAT201 output that transfers cleanly to SARS eFiling. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. It is a reasonable choice, provided you know what it does not do.

What works

Direct bank feeds for Absa, FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank and Capitec. Invoicing is quick once the templates are set.

What does not

Bank feeds drop and need reauthorising more often than they should. Inventory cannot handle multiple warehouses.

We appreciate you taking the time to write this up. The support delay you experienced is not the standard we hold ourselves to, and we have followed up internally. Please reach out directly and we will assist.
