Reconciliation went from a week to an afternoon

After two years I can say the reconciliation time saving is real and it is significant. 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. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

What works

The deepest pool of trained local bookkeepers in the country. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly. VAT201 figures come out right without a manual working paper.

What does not

Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.

Used for 6 to 12 months

Our bookkeeper got two days a month back

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. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Free accountant login on every plan. Month end close has dropped from six days to two. The audit trail has answered every query our auditors raised.

What does not

The interface has not aged well.

Used for 1 to 2 years

Solid, boring, and that is exactly what I wanted

After two years I can say the reconciliation time saving is real and it is significant. 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

Direct bank feeds for Absa, FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank and Capitec. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains. The audit trail has answered every query our auditors raised.

What does not

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

Used for 6 to 12 months

Right features, wrong price for our size

It does what we need and I have no strong feelings about it either way. 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. Good value, with some real rough edges.

What works

Free accountant login on every plan. Pricing is predictable with no surprise increases.

What does not

Bank feeds drop and need reauthorising more often than they should. There is no direct submission to eFiling, so the return is captured by hand.

Does the compliance work without being asked

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. 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.

What works

The deepest pool of trained local bookkeepers in the country. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work. The audit trail has answered every query our auditors raised.

What does not

Support response times slow noticeably at month end.
