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

Running 30 client files without losing my mind

It costs the firm nothing, which still feels strange to type about software this useful. Certification badges on the team's profiles genuinely help when pitching new clients. The tooling respects accountants, which is rarer than it should be.

Mostly happy in Vereeniging, a few gripes

The accountant tools are superb, the surrounding workflow less so. Client bank feeds are the recurring headache, when a feed drops the client blames us. The books review workflow standardised our month end quality across every junior.

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

Good but not perfect for our George team

Excellent platform with a few South African rough edges. The directory listing skews toward searchers looking for US firms. The practice management is fine for small firms and creaks for bigger ones.

Pros

Free ProAdvisor training and certification; all client books behind one login

Cons

Practice management thin for larger firms

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

Free for the firm, cheaper for the clients

It costs the firm nothing, which still feels strange to type about software this useful. Every practice I respect is either on it or moving to it.

Pros

Free ProAdvisor training and certification; quickBooks Ledger for dormant entities

Cons

Support queues with consumer customers

Accounting · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Exactly what our 55 person business needed

We moved off a desktop practice suite in June and nobody wants to go back. Our whole team works in the same client file simultaneously during busy season.

Pros

Bulk reclassify and write off tools

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

Mostly happy in Potchefstroom, a few gripes

After 2 years running the practice on it, the verdict is positive with caveats. Ledger is great but clients cannot touch it themselves, which surprises some of them. Training materials are current, free and structured enough to onboard staff with.

Solid choice for our Vereeniging business

As a Knysna practice competing with bigger firms, the tooling levels the field. Certification badges on the team's profiles genuinely help when pitching new clients. Training materials are current, free and structured enough to onboard staff with. Free plus client discounts is a business model we happily joined.

Pros

Free ProAdvisor training and certification; deadline tracking across all clients

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

Good but not perfect for our Midrand team

Excellent platform with a few South African rough edges. Some review tools assume US tax concepts and need mental translation. The practice management layer tracks work without us paying for a separate tool.

Pros

Practice management included; find an Advisor directory listing

Cons

Ledger is accountant access only

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

Doing okay for our 4 person setup

Excellent platform with a few South African rough edges. The directory listing skews toward searchers looking for US firms. Deadline tracking is useful but not a replacement for real workflow software at scale.

Pros

Fast client file setup with templates; completely free for accounting practices

Cons

Practice management thin for larger firms

Our accountant in Upington recommended it, good call

We moved off a desktop practice suite in January and nobody wants to go back. Our whole team works in the same client file simultaneously during busy season. Free plus client discounts is a business model we happily joined.

Pros

50 percent client discounts for the duration; all client books behind one login

Cons

Ledger is accountant access only

Doing the job for us in Roodepoort

We sign clients up through the firm and the 50 percent discount makes us look like heroes. Certification badges on the team's profiles genuinely help when pitching new clients.

Pros

Free ProAdvisor training and certification

Cons

Some tools assume US tax concepts

Our accountant in Umhlanga recommended it, good call

Our practice runs 25 client files on the platform and the single login changed the texture of my week. Certification badges on the team's profiles genuinely help when pitching new clients.

Pros

Deadline tracking across all clients

Cons

Practice management thin for larger firms

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

Our accountant in Midrand recommended it, good call

Every accountant only tool earns its place, these were clearly designed by people who have done the work. Transaction reclassification, journal templates and the audit trail make cleanups almost pleasant. VAT return preparation across clients follows the same rhythm every period, which juniors learn fast. It made our small firm feel like a big firm.

Pros

Find an Advisor directory listing; bulk reclassify and write off tools

Cons

Practice management thin for larger firms

South Africa Used for 2+ years

Every client's books behind one login

Excellent platform with a few South African rough edges. Support does not distinguish accountants from consumers, so we queue with everyone else. The practice management layer tracks work without us paying for a separate tool.

Cons

Client bank feed issues land on the firm

Serving our Stellenbosch operation well

As a Klerksdorp practice competing with bigger firms, the tooling levels the field. Recommended to every colleague who asks, and they all ask eventually.

Pros

Deadline tracking across all clients; all client books behind one login

10 February 2026

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

Mostly happy in Ballito, a few gripes

We rate it highly while keeping a list of grievances. Client bank feeds are the recurring headache, when a feed drops the client blames us. Ledger is great but clients cannot touch it themselves, which surprises some of them.

Pros

All client books behind one login

Cons

No SARS eFiling integration

We rate it highly while keeping a list of grievances. Training materials are current, free and structured enough to onboard staff with.

No complaints after 5 years

South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Good but not perfect for our Randburg team

Free sets the bar low and the platform clears it easily, mostly. Ledger is great but clients cannot touch it themselves, which surprises some of them. New client files spin up in minutes with our standard chart of accounts.

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

Doing the job for us in Klerksdorp

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. If your firm is still emailing backups around, come see how this feels.

Pros

Deadline tracking across all clients; fast client file setup with templates

Cons

Practice management thin for larger firms
