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

Good practice system with localisation gaps

Good system, though busy season exposes its queues.

Ledger is accountant access only

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

Doing okay for our 9 person setup

Free sets the bar low and the platform clears it easily, mostly. Client bank feeds are the recurring headache, when a feed drops the client blames us.

Pros

50 percent client discounts for the duration

Cons

Support queues with consumer customers

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

Happy customer in Sandton

Work assignments mean I always know which junior owns which client this week. Client subscription billing runs through the firm, one invoice to us, margin retained.

Pros

Books review workflow for month end quality; find an Advisor directory listing

Cons

No SARS eFiling integration

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

Solid choice for our Klerksdorp business

The reclassify tool moves a hundred miscoded transactions in the time the old way moved ten. The books review workflow standardised our month end quality across every junior.

Pros

All client books behind one login; completely free for accounting practices

Doing the job for us in Knysna

As a Bloemfontein practice competing with bigger firms, the tooling levels the field. Our whole team works in the same client file simultaneously during busy season. For a cloud practice in South Africa this is the obvious platform decision.

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

The practice platform desktop firms dream about

Free sets the bar low and the platform clears it easily, mostly. Some review tools assume US tax concepts and need mental translation. Jumping between client files takes seconds and each one opens with the accountant toolkit ready.

Pros

50 percent client discounts for the duration; deadline tracking across all clients

Cons

Client bank feed issues land on the firm

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

Serving our Worcester operation well

As a Mossel Bay practice competing with bigger firms, the tooling levels the field. Training materials are current, free and structured enough to onboard staff with. For a cloud practice in South Africa this is the obvious platform decision.

Pros

Free ProAdvisor training and certification; deadline tracking across all clients

Cons

Support queues with consumer customers

South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Fine for now, watching the roadmap

We rate it highly while keeping a list of grievances. The practice management is fine for small firms and creaks for bigger ones.

Pros

Bulk reclassify and write off tools

Cons

No SARS eFiling integration

27 March 2026

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

Mostly happy in Sandton, a few gripes

After 10 years running the practice on it, the verdict is positive with caveats. There is no SARS eFiling integration, so VAT returns still end with manual capture.

Pros

Free ProAdvisor training and certification

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

Working well for our 30 person team

Our practice runs 18 client files on the platform and the single login changed the texture of my week. The practice management layer tracks work without us paying for a separate tool. Ledger costs a fraction of a full subscription and is exactly enough for an entity with thirty transactions a year.

Pros

QuickBooks Ledger for dormant entities

Cons

Some tools assume US tax concepts

21 February 2026

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

Doing okay for our 8 person setup

Good system, though busy season exposes its queues. There is no SARS eFiling integration, so VAT returns still end with manual capture. Transaction reclassification, journal templates and the audit trail make cleanups almost pleasant.

Pros

Practice management included; find an Advisor directory listing

Cons

Directory leads skew international

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

Happy customer in Bloemfontein

Books review before month end catches the problems while they are still small. Certification badges on the team's profiles genuinely help when pitching new clients. The Find an Advisor listing has sent us a handful of genuine leads. Free plus client discounts is a business model we happily joined.

Cons

Ledger is accountant access only

Accounting · 11–50 employees Zimbabwe Used for 1–2 years

Happy customer in Benoni

Every accountant only tool earns its place, these were clearly designed by people who have done the work. Training materials are current, free and structured enough to onboard staff with. It made our small firm feel like a big firm.

Pros

Books review workflow for month end quality; bulk reclassify and write off tools

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

Expected better, Potchefstroom customer

Our experience has been decent software wrapped in indifferent service. We asked for a SARS integration roadmap and got a survey link.

Cons

Migration mangled opening balances. Feed failures cost billable hours

Mixed feelings after 4 years

Very good, and it would be exceptional with proper local integration.

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

2 years in and still happy

The client dashboard shows every file's status at a glance, our Monday meeting runs off it. Jumping between client files takes seconds and each one opens with the accountant toolkit ready. The Find an Advisor listing has sent us a handful of genuine leads. If your firm is still emailing backups around, come see how this feels.

Pros

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

Practice Owner · Midrand Accountants

18 September 2025

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

our juniors got productive in weeks

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. Transaction reclassification, journal templates and the audit trail make cleanups almost pleasant.

Pros

Free ProAdvisor training and certification

Cons

Directory leads skew international

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

Our accountant in Sandton recommended it, good call

As a Worcester practice competing with bigger firms, the tooling levels the field. Client subscription billing runs through the firm, one invoice to us, margin retained. Training materials are current, free and structured enough to onboard staff with. The tooling respects accountants, which is rarer than it should be.
