Senior Bookkeeper
South AfricaSandton51 to 200 employeesI run the books for three related companies and this is the first system that has kept up. Direct bank feeds for Absa, FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank and Capitec. 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. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.
What works
The deepest pool of trained local bookkeepers in the country. The audit trail has answered every query our auditors raised. Month end close has dropped from six days to two.
What does not
Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.
RKRetha KhumaloVerified
Procurement Manager
South AfricaEast LondonSole traderOur practice put four clients on this before we moved our own business across. 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. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.
What works
Direct bank feeds for Absa, FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank and Capitec. VAT201 figures come out right without a manual working paper. Month end close has dropped from six days to two.
What does not
The interface has not aged well.

South AfricaJohannesburg201 to 500 employeesI run the books for three related companies and this is the first system that has kept up. 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. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.
What works
Free accountant login on every plan. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work.
What does not
Reporting beyond the standard pack still ends up in a spreadsheet.

If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

What works
Free accountant login on every plan. 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.

Debtors Manager
KenyaKenya51 to 200 employeesIt has been fine, with a couple of persistent irritations. The deepest pool of trained local bookkeepers in the country. 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. The core ledger is reliable.
What does not
There is no direct submission to eFiling, so the return is captured by hand. Inventory cannot handle multiple warehouses.
