Accountant
South AfricaDurban51 to 200 employeesAfter 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. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.
What works
Direct bank feeds for Absa, FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank and Capitec. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work. Month end close has dropped from six days to two.
What does not
Support response times slow noticeably at month end.
EDElmarie DavidsVerified
Plant Manager
South AfricaSandtonSole traderI 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. Month end close has dropped from six days to two. VAT201 figures come out right without a manual working paper.
What does not
Reporting beyond the standard pack still ends up in a spreadsheet.

Plant Manager
South AfricaSomerset WestSole traderWe moved across from a desktop package eighteen months ago and I would not go back. 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. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

Operations Manager
BotswanaBotswana2 to 10 employeesOur practice put four clients on this before we moved our own business across. 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. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.
