Creditors Clerk
South AfricaKimberley51 to 200 employeesOur practice put four clients on this before we moved our own business across. The best bank reconciliation experience in the category. 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
Unlimited users on every plan, which no local competitor matches. Month end close has dropped from six days to two. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost.
What does not
The interface has not aged well.
FHFaizel Hendricks
Bookkeeper
South AfricaRandburg201 to 500 employeesAfter two years I can say the reconciliation time saving is real and it is significant. Over a thousand connected applications. 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. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.
What works
The best bank reconciliation experience in the category. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work.
What does not
Support response times slow noticeably at month end.

South AfricaDurban500 plus employeesOur practice put four clients on this before we moved our own business across. Over a thousand connected applications. 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 best bank reconciliation experience in the category. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly. VAT201 figures come out right without a manual working paper.
What does not
Reporting beyond the standard pack still ends up in a spreadsheet.
CBCharmaine BennettVerified
General Manager
South AfricaPolokwane500 plus employeesI run the books for three related companies and this is the first system that has kept up. The best bank reconciliation experience in the category. 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. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.
What works
Over a thousand connected applications. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains. Month end close has dropped from six days to two.

South AfricaStellenbosch201 to 500 employeesAfter two years I can say the reconciliation time saving is real and it is significant. Genuinely strong multi currency handling. 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 does not
Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.

KJKgomotso JoubertVerified
Owner
South AfricaPietermaritzburgSole traderIt does what we need and I have no strong feelings about it either way. Unlimited users on every plan, which no local competitor matches. 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. Good value, with some real rough edges.
What works
Genuinely strong multi currency handling. The core ledger is reliable.
What does not
Bank feeds drop and need reauthorising more often than they should. There is no direct submission to eFiling, so the return is captured by hand.
