RDRiaan DlaminiVerified
Chief Operating Officer
South AfricaMidrand500 plus employeesOur 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. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.
What works
VAT201 output that transfers cleanly to SARS eFiling. The audit trail has answered every query our auditors raised. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work.
What does not
Support response times slow noticeably at month end.
NSNeo SolomonsVerified
Debtors Manager
South AfricaSandton201 to 500 employeesAfter 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. 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
The deepest pool of trained local bookkeepers in the country. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly. Month end close has dropped from six days to two.
What does not
Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.

What works
The deepest pool of trained local bookkeepers in the country. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly.
What does not
Reporting beyond the standard pack still ends up in a spreadsheet.

South AfricaEast London500 plus employeesWe 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.

WCWayne ChettyVerified
Founder
South AfricaKlerksdorp11 to 50 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. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.
What works
Direct bank feeds for Absa, FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank and Capitec. The audit trail has answered every query our auditors raised. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains.
What does not
The interface has not aged well.
HDHlengiwe Dlamini
Bookkeeper
South AfricaPietermaritzburg11 to 50 employeesI have spent more time working around this than working in it. For context, the parts we were sold on never worked the way they were demonstrated. The gaps are the kind that create work rather than save it. It may suit a simpler business than ours.
What works
The invoicing side works.
What does not
Bank feed failures went unresolved for weeks. The VAT handling required constant manual correction. Support responses were slow and generic.
