Bank feeds alone justify the subscription

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

What works

VAT201 output that transfers cleanly to SARS eFiling. VAT201 figures come out right without a manual working paper. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work.

What does not

The interface has not aged well.

Cheaper than the alternatives, and you find out why

I have spent more time working around this than working in it. 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. I would look elsewhere unless price is the only consideration.

What works

It is inexpensive.

What does not

Bank feed failures went unresolved for weeks. Migration lost historical detail we needed for the audit. The VAT handling required constant manual correction.

Migration was painful, the result was worth it

We 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. 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

The deepest pool of trained local bookkeepers in the country. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost. VAT201 figures come out right without a manual working paper.

What does not

Support response times slow noticeably at month end.

What works

Free accountant login on every plan. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work.

Support response times slow noticeably at month end.

Reconciliation went from a week to an afternoon

After 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

Direct bank feeds for Absa, FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank and Capitec. Month end close has dropped from six days to two. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly.

What does not

Reporting beyond the standard pack still ends up in a spreadsheet.

Migrated away after fourteen months

The trial went well. Live use with real volume did not. What surprised me was 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. It may suit a simpler business than ours.

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.

We 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. 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

Direct bank feeds for Absa, FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank and Capitec. 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.

I 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.
