General Manager
South AfricaBloemfontein2 to 10 employeesI run the books for three related companies and this is the first system that has kept up. 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. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.
What works
Unlimited users on every plan, which no local competitor matches. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly. The audit trail has answered every query our auditors raised.
What does not
The interface has not aged well.
DRDenise RobertsVerified
Financial Manager
South AfricaKimberleySole traderOur 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. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.
What works
Over a thousand connected applications. Bank feeds match transactions accurately and the rules learn quickly. Month end close has dropped from six days to two.
What does not
Reporting beyond the standard pack still ends up in a spreadsheet.

Operations Director
South AfricaKimberley201 to 500 employeesWe moved across from a desktop package eighteen months ago and I would not go back. Unlimited users on every plan, which no local competitor matches. 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
Genuinely strong multi currency handling. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work. Month end close has dropped from six days to two.
What does not
Inventory is too basic for a stock heavy business.

South AfricaGqeberhaSole traderAfter 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. 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
The best bank reconciliation experience in the category. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains.
What does not
The interface has not aged well.
NWNeo WilliamsVerified
Financial Controller
South AfricaGeorge2 to 10 employeesGood enough that changing again is not worth the disruption. 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. It is a reasonable choice, provided you know what it does not do.
What works
The best bank reconciliation experience in the category. Pricing is predictable with no surprise increases.
What does not
The report customisation is limited. Getting a person on the phone is difficult.
