South AfricaSomerset West2 to 10 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. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.
What works
Over a thousand connected applications. Month end close has dropped from six days to two. Multi currency handling is genuinely correct on unrealised gains.
What does not
The interface has not aged well.
RRRefilwe RadebeVerified
Chief Operating Officer
South AfricaPolokwane2 to 10 employeesI run the books for three related companies and this is the first system that has kept up. 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 works
Over a thousand connected applications. VAT201 figures come out right without a manual working paper. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work.
What does not
Reporting beyond the standard pack still ends up in a spreadsheet.

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 works
Unlimited users on every plan, which no local competitor matches. Invoices go out looking professional with no design work. Our accountant has their own login at no extra cost.

South AfricaStellenboschSole traderOur practice put four clients on this before we moved our own business across. 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. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.
