Bookkeeper
South AfricaRandburg500 plus employeesI 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. 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
Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.

South AfricaKlerksdorp11 to 50 employeesIt 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. It is a reasonable choice, provided you know what it does not do.
What works
The deepest pool of trained local bookkeepers in the country. Pricing is predictable with no surprise increases.
What does not
The report customisation is limited. Bank feeds drop and need reauthorising more often than they should.

What works

Financial Controller
South AfricaWitbank11 to 50 employeesGood enough that changing again is not worth the disruption. Direct bank feeds for Absa, FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank and Capitec. 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. Fine for our needs. Test it properly against your own requirements.
What works
Free accountant login on every plan. Pricing is predictable with no surprise increases.
What does not
Inventory cannot handle multiple warehouses. There is no direct submission to eFiling, so the return is captured by hand.

Operations Manager
South AfricaBloemfontein201 to 500 employeesWe 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. 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
Direct bank feeds for Absa, FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank and Capitec. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly.
What does not
Support response times slow noticeably at month end.
