Accountant
South AfricaBloemfontein500 plus employeesWe moved across from a desktop package eighteen months ago and I would not go back. Genuinely strong multi currency handling. 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
Over a thousand connected applications. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost. Month end close has dropped from six days to two.
What does not
Support response times slow noticeably at month end.
NBNadia BennettVerified
Financial Manager
NamibiaNamibia51 to 200 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. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.
What works
The best bank reconciliation experience in the category. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly.
What does not
The interface has not aged well.

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.

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 does not
Reporting beyond the standard pack still ends up in a spreadsheet.
SCSarah CeleVerified
Partner
South AfricaCape Town51 to 200 employeesWe chose this on price and mostly that decision has held up. Genuinely strong multi currency handling. 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. Fine for our needs. Test it properly against your own requirements.
What works
Over a thousand connected applications. The core ledger is reliable.
What does not
Inventory cannot handle multiple warehouses. Bank feeds drop and need reauthorising more often than they should.

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

What does not
Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.
