Debtors Manager
South AfricaGqeberha11 to 50 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. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.
What works
Direct bank feeds for Absa, FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank and Capitec. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly. Month end close has dropped from six days to two.
What does not
The interface has not aged well.
RMRetha MokoenaVerified
General Manager
South AfricaPolokwane51 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. 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. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains.
What does not
Support response times slow noticeably at month end.
SNSiyabonga NelVerified
Logistics Coordinator
South AfricaPretoria11 to 50 employeesOur practice put four clients on this before we moved our own business across. 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. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work.
What does not
Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.
MNMichael NgcoboVerified
Bookkeeper
South AfricaCape Town2 to 10 employeesWe committed to this on a recommendation and I regret not testing it properly first. The thing worth knowing is that 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. We moved to an alternative and the difference was immediate.
What works
The invoicing side works.
What does not
The VAT handling required constant manual correction. Migration lost historical detail we needed for the audit. Bank feed failures went unresolved for weeks.

Financial Controller
South AfricaGqeberha201 to 500 employeesAfter two years I can say the reconciliation time saving is real and it is significant. 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. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.
