Doing okay for our 9 person setup

Capable software that expects you to meet it halfway. New staff take longer to find their feet than on prettier products. Document storage keeps every invoice PDF attached to its transaction.

Pros

A decade of history kept intact; branded client portal on invoices

Cons

Extra clicks in common workflows

Doing okay for our 6 person setup

After 2 years the quirks feel like home, mostly. The mobile experience is a responsive website, not an app. Document storage keeps every invoice PDF attached to its transaction.

Pros

Free tier is the complete product

Cons

No real mobile app

Our accountant in Somerset West recommended it, good call

My UK clients pay invoices through the portal and the payment lands tagged in the books.

Our accountant in Mbombela recommended it, good call

The VAT return files to HMRC directly and has never once been queried. The tagging rules engine is genuinely clever, it handles our regular suppliers untouched. Reports cover the accounts an accountant needs at year end.

The best kept secret in cloud accounting

The Power User subscription for the bigger files costs less than lunch for two.

Solid choice for our Bloemfontein business

The client portal with our branding makes a two person firm look like a proper operation. Reports cover the accounts an accountant needs at year end. Recurring invoices and payment reminders run without attention.

Pros

API for automation

A quiet workhorse for 5 years now

Ten years of my company history sits in it, intact and searchable. The community forum has an answer for nearly everything, usually from the developers themselves.

Decent fit for a 8 person company

Free sets expectations low and the ledger clears them easily. The interface is functional and firmly unfashionable. Purchase receipts forward by email straight into the inbox for capture.

Pros

Clever bank tagging rules

Our accountant in Pretoria recommended it, good call

Multiple currencies on a free product still surprises me every time I invoice in euros. Reports cover the accounts an accountant needs at year end. Unfashionable and unbeatable.

Cons

No real mobile app

Mostly happy in Boksburg, a few gripes

The product is stronger than it looks, and it looks like 2012. The mobile experience is a responsive website, not an app. The API let us automate our monthly recurring billing completely.

Cons

Dated, functional interface

Proper double entry hiding behind a free tier

As a bookkeeper doing UK work from eMalahleni, the price lets me quote clients fees they cannot refuse. Document storage keeps every invoice PDF attached to its transaction.

Pros

Multiple currencies supported

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

Exactly what our 8 person business needed

For straightforward UK books the product is complete, ledger to VAT. The community forum has an answer for nearly everything, usually from the developers themselves. Function beat fashion, we bank the difference.

Pros

Power User costs almost nothing yearly

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

Good decision for a 4 person company

Multiple currencies on a free product still surprises me every time I invoice in euros. Underneath the plain screens is a proper double entry ledger that satisfies accountants.

Cons

Direct support costs extra
