Reconciliation went from a week to an afternoon

We 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. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works

Direct bank feeds for Absa, FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank and Capitec. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains. Month end close has dropped from six days to two.

What does not

Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.

Our bookkeeper got two days a month back

After 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. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works

VAT201 output that transfers cleanly to SARS eFiling. VAT201 figures come out right without a manual working paper. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost.

What does not

Support response times slow noticeably at month end.

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. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

What does not

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

Finally a ledger our accountant does not complain about

Our 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. 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.

VAT season stopped being a crisis

I run the books for three related companies and this is the first system that has kept up. 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. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

What works

Free accountant login on every plan. Month end close has dropped from six days to two. The audit trail has answered every query our auditors raised.
