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

Running 60 client files without losing my mind

The accountant tools are superb, the surrounding workflow less so. Our whole team works in the same client file simultaneously during busy season.

Cons

Client bank feed issues land on the firm

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

Good decision for a 28 person company

We moved off a desktop practice suite in April and nobody wants to go back. The Find an Advisor listing has sent us a handful of genuine leads. Our practice is measurably faster per client than it was two years ago.

Pros

Find an Advisor directory listing

Cons

Directory leads skew international

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

Deadlines tracked across the whole book of clients

Books review before month end catches the problems while they are still small. If your firm is still emailing backups around, come see how this feels.

Accounting · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Decent fit for a 35 person company

Very good, and it would be exceptional with proper local integration. Ledger is great but clients cannot touch it themselves, which surprises some of them.

Pros

Fast client file setup with templates

Cons

No SARS eFiling integration

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

A quiet workhorse for 10 years now

The client dashboard shows every file's status at a glance, our Monday meeting runs off it. Our whole team works in the same client file simultaneously during busy season. Training materials are current, free and structured enough to onboard staff with. If your firm is still emailing backups around, come see how this feels.

Pros

Free ProAdvisor training and certification

Accounting · 1–10 employees Botswana Used for 2+ years

Mixed feelings after 3 years

After 3 years running the practice on it, the verdict is positive with caveats. Some review tools assume US tax concepts and need mental translation. Our whole team works in the same client file simultaneously during busy season.

Audit Manager · Vanderbijlpark Attorneys SA

7 February 2025

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

Running 8 client files without losing my mind

The accountant tools are superb, the surrounding workflow less so. There is no SARS eFiling integration, so VAT returns still end with manual capture. Our whole team works in the same client file simultaneously during busy season.

Pros

Fast client file setup with templates; bulk reclassify and write off tools

Cons

Practice management thin for larger firms

1 January 2025

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

Running 15 client files without losing my mind

Two juniors passed their ProAdvisor certification in their first month, the training is genuinely good. New client files spin up in minutes with our standard chart of accounts. It made our small firm feel like a big firm.

Pros

50 percent client discounts for the duration

Cons

Ledger is accountant access only

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

Good decision for a 5 person company

The client dashboard shows every file's status at a glance, our Monday meeting runs off it. The practice management layer tracks work without us paying for a separate tool.

South Africa Used for 2+ years

A quiet workhorse for 2 years now

As a George practice competing with bigger firms, the tooling levels the field. Our whole team works in the same client file simultaneously during busy season.

Pros

Books review workflow for month end quality

Cons

Directory leads skew international

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

Doing okay for our 22 person setup

Excellent platform with a few South African rough edges. The directory listing skews toward searchers looking for US firms.

Pros

Fast client file setup with templates

Cons

Ledger is accountant access only

Happy customer in Klerksdorp

Books review before month end catches the problems while they are still small. Our whole team works in the same client file simultaneously during busy season. Our practice is measurably faster per client than it was two years ago.

Pros

QuickBooks Ledger for dormant entities; all client books behind one login

Cons

No SARS eFiling integration

Michael Zwane

Director

13 April 2026

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

Running 18 client files without losing my mind

Free sets the bar low and the platform clears it easily, mostly. The practice management is fine for small firms and creaks for bigger ones.

Pros

Free ProAdvisor training and certification; team works one file simultaneously

Cons

Some tools assume US tax concepts

23 February 2026

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

A quiet workhorse for 4 years now

We moved off a desktop practice suite in October and nobody wants to go back. Certification badges on the team's profiles genuinely help when pitching new clients. Every practice I respect is either on it or moving to it.

Cons

Some tools assume US tax concepts

Accountant

22 February 2026

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

Doing the job for us in Stellenbosch

QuickBooks Ledger finally gave us a home for the dormant companies and family trusts that never justified a full subscription. Jumping between client files takes seconds and each one opens with the accountant toolkit ready.

Pros

Fast client file setup with templates

28 December 2025

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

Good but not perfect for our eMalahleni team

We rate it highly while keeping a list of grievances. Support does not distinguish accountants from consumers, so we queue with everyone else. Jumping between client files takes seconds and each one opens with the accountant toolkit ready.

Cons

Client bank feed issues land on the firm

Solid choice for our Johannesburg business

Two juniors passed their ProAdvisor certification in their first month, the training is genuinely good. New client files spin up in minutes with our standard chart of accounts.

Pros

50 percent client discounts for the duration

Cons

No SARS eFiling integration

22 November 2025

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

Doing okay for our 6 person setup

Excellent platform with a few South African rough edges. Deadline tracking is useful but not a replacement for real workflow software at scale. VAT return preparation across clients follows the same rhythm every period, which juniors learn fast.

Pros

Deadline tracking across all clients; quickBooks Ledger for dormant entities

Cons

No SARS eFiling integration

Financial Services · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Running 25 client files without losing my mind

Work assignments mean I always know which junior owns which client this week. Jumping between client files takes seconds and each one opens with the accountant toolkit ready. Every practice I respect is either on it or moving to it.

Pros

Find an Advisor directory listing

Cons

Client bank feed issues land on the firm

16 September 2025

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

Exactly what our 40 person business needed

The reclassify tool moves a hundred miscoded transactions in the time the old way moved ten. VAT return preparation across clients follows the same rhythm every period, which juniors learn fast. The tooling respects accountants, which is rarer than it should be.

Cons

Practice management thin for larger firms
