Doing the job for us in Umhlanga

Two juniors passed their ProAdvisor certification in their first month, the training is genuinely good. Jumping between client files takes seconds and each one opens with the accountant toolkit ready. Transaction reclassification, journal templates and the audit trail make cleanups almost pleasant. Recommended to every colleague who asks, and they all ask eventually.

Good decision for a 4 person company

The client dashboard shows every file's status at a glance, our Monday meeting runs off it. New client files spin up in minutes with our standard chart of accounts.

Pros

Books review workflow for month end quality; practice management included

Our accountant in Benoni recommended it, good call

We sign clients up through the firm and the 50 percent discount makes us look like heroes. Jumping between client files takes seconds and each one opens with the accountant toolkit ready. Transaction reclassification, journal templates and the audit trail make cleanups almost pleasant. The tooling respects accountants, which is rarer than it should be.

Pros

Books review workflow for month end quality

We sign clients up through the firm and the 50 percent discount makes us look like heroes. If your firm is still emailing backups around, come see how this feels.

Pros

Fast client file setup with templates

Cons

Practice management thin for larger firms

Accounting · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Doing the job for us in Gqeberha

The client dashboard shows every file's status at a glance, our Monday meeting runs off it. VAT return preparation across clients follows the same rhythm every period, which juniors learn fast. Ledger costs a fraction of a full subscription and is exactly enough for an entity with thirty transactions a year. It made our small firm feel like a big firm.

Pros

Deadline tracking across all clients

Cons

Support queues with consumer customers

Financial Services · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Decent fit for a 4 person company

Free sets the bar low and the platform clears it easily, mostly. The directory listing skews toward searchers looking for US firms. The books review workflow standardised our month end quality across every junior.

Cons

Directory leads skew international

The reclassify tool moves a hundred miscoded transactions in the time the old way moved ten. The practice management layer tracks work without us paying for a separate tool. The tooling respects accountants, which is rarer than it should be.

Accounting · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Migrating clients in was harder than promised

Support for accountants should be a priority lane and is anything but. The migration tool mangled opening balances on older files and we rebuilt them by hand.

Cons

No local integration roadmap shared

Zimbabwe Used for 1–2 years

Happy customer in Richards Bay

Work assignments mean I always know which junior owns which client this week. Our whole team works in the same client file simultaneously during busy season. Jumping between client files takes seconds and each one opens with the accountant toolkit ready.

Legal · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Happy customer in Stellenbosch

The write off tool cleared years of small unpaid invoices across a client's book in minutes. Certification badges on the team's profiles genuinely help when pitching new clients. Transaction reclassification, journal templates and the audit trail make cleanups almost pleasant.

Pros

Bulk reclassify and write off tools; team works one file simultaneously

Accounting South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Our accountant in Vereeniging recommended it, good call

QuickBooks Ledger finally gave us a home for the dormant companies and family trusts that never justified a full subscription. Free plus client discounts is a business model we happily joined.

Pros

50 percent client discounts for the duration; free ProAdvisor training and certification

Legal · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

ProAdvisor certification lifted the whole team

As a Springs practice competing with bigger firms, the tooling levels the field. The Find an Advisor listing has sent us a handful of genuine leads.

Pros

Books review workflow for month end quality; all client books behind one login

Financial Services · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Happy customer in Upington

Books review before month end catches the problems while they are still small. The practice management layer tracks work without us paying for a separate tool.

Pros

Bulk reclassify and write off tools

Cons

Directory leads skew international

South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Decent fit for a 25 person company

Excellent platform with a few South African rough edges. Deadline tracking is useful but not a replacement for real workflow software at scale. Transaction reclassification, journal templates and the audit trail make cleanups almost pleasant.

Pros

Team works one file simultaneously

Cons

Ledger is accountant access only

Legal · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Still glad we chose it, 2 years later

It costs the firm nothing, which still feels strange to type about software this useful. The practice management layer tracks work without us paying for a separate tool. Free plus client discounts is a business model we happily joined.

Pros

Deadline tracking across all clients

Cons

Directory leads skew international

Accounting South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Running 40 client files without losing my mind

Our practice runs 10 client files on the platform and the single login changed the texture of my week. Jumping between client files takes seconds and each one opens with the accountant toolkit ready.

Pros

Fast client file setup with templates

South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Disappointed after 2 years

The platform is free but the client feed problems cost us billable hours. We asked for a SARS integration roadmap and got a survey link.

Cons

Migration mangled opening balances

Financial Services · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Expected better, Sandton customer

Our experience has been decent software wrapped in indifferent service. The migration tool mangled opening balances on older files and we rebuilt them by hand.

Cons

No local integration roadmap shared. Deadline season support is too slow

Musa Mthembu

Practice Manager · Drakensberg Attorneys Studio

2 March 2025

Legal · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Mostly happy in Mbombela, a few gripes

After 6 years running the practice on it, the verdict is positive with caveats. Support does not distinguish accountants from consumers, so we queue with everyone else. Some review tools assume US tax concepts and need mental translation.

Pros

Completely free for accounting practices

Cons

Directory leads skew international
