21 April 2025

South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Solid choice for our Ballito business

The trial convinced me inside a week, mostly because of the bank feeds. Adding my admin lady as a second user cost R75 a month, which felt fair.

Pros

Setup is quick even for non accountants

Cons

No proper built in budgeting

Exactly what our 5 person business needed

We invoice about 5 clients a month and the debtors list keeps itself tidy. For the price I honestly cannot fault it.

Pros

Payroll journals post across automatically

Food & Beverage · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Does everything my 4 person business needs

It does most things well and a few things averagely. Report customisation is limited, you get their layouts and that is that. Everything syncs to the cloud so load shedding at the office just means I work from home.

Pros

Cloud based so load shedding does not cost you data

Cons

Report layouts cannot really be customised

A quiet workhorse for 3 years now

For a small trades business in Johannesburg this hits exactly the right level. Reports are simple but they answer the question I actually have, which is where the money went. My bookkeeper logs in from her side so there is no more emailing backups around.

My accountant logs in herself now

My accountant suggested it when we registered for VAT and it has carried us since.

Expected better, Pietermaritzburg customer

For what we pay now after the increases, my expectations are simply not being met.

Cons

Long standing small bugs never seem to get fixed

15 February 2025

South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Doing okay for our 12 person setup

Happy enough to renew, not happy enough to rave. The stock module covers the basics but anything detailed means exporting to Excel.

Pros

30 day trial with no card needed

Cons

Report layouts cannot really be customised

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

Does everything my 40 person business needs

For a business our size it works, but I can see us outgrowing it.

Pros

Support agents understand SARS questions

Cons

Support queue gets long around VAT deadlines

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

No complaints after 7 years

Took me a weekend to set up and I was invoicing by the Monday. Recurring invoices run themselves on the first of the month, I do not touch them. Solid product, solid support, fair rand pricing.

Cons

The Start plan is limited to one user

Construction & Trades · 201–500 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Doing okay for our 420 person setup

Mostly a good experience over the past 4 years, with some frustrations. Customer statements could look more professional without paying a designer. Quotes convert to invoices with one click and clients can pay straight from the invoice.

Pros

Recurring invoices and statements run themselves

Cons

Annual price increases keep arriving

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

Doing okay for our 35 person setup

It does most things well and a few things averagely. The bank feed dropped for about a week in January and I had to import statements manually.

Pros

Setup is quick even for non accountants

Cons

The Start plan is limited to one user

Bookkeeper

18 September 2024

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

Fine for now, watching the roadmap

Solid for invoicing and VAT, less convincing once stock gets involved. Support is friendly when you reach them but the queue can be long at month end.

Pros

Rand pricing with a proper local support line; bank feeds from the major SA banks are quick to set up

Cons

Project costing is not really there

24 August 2024

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

Our accountant in Gqeberha recommended it, good call

For a small trades business in Klerksdorp this hits exactly the right level. Debtors reports show me exactly who owes what before I make the awkward phone calls. It has genuinely given me my evenings back.

Pros

Accountant access is included, no extra licence

Cons

Report layouts cannot really be customised

Media & Marketing · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Good but not perfect for our Kimberley team

Came from Xero for the local support and it has been a fair trade. Some screens take a few seconds too long to load on slow connections. Month end used to take three days and now the file is closed by lunch on the first.

Pros

The audit trail is clean and complete

Cons

Support queue gets long around VAT deadlines

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

My bookkeeper in Rustenburg recommended it and she was right

Bookkeeping used to eat my Sundays and now it takes an hour with coffee. The Afrikaans support agent I got walked me through my first VAT return patiently. Adding my admin lady as a second user cost R75 a month, which felt fair.

Pros

Setup is quick even for non accountants

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

Still glad we chose it, 3 years later

I capture supplier invoices the day they arrive and cash flow finally makes sense. Five stars from me and from my accountant.

Pros

Slip capture on the phone works well

Cons

Statement templates are a bit plain

Let us down when it counted

The bank feed issue was the last straw for me. Reports would not give me the one breakdown SARS asked for and I rebuilt it by hand. Every price letter says the same thing about added value I am not seeing.

Cons

Escalations went nowhere

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

Our accountant in Worcester recommended it, good call

Our practice put all our small clients on it and the feedback has been consistently good. You can see profit per month at a glance, which changed how I price jobs. SARS deadlines come and go and I hardly notice them anymore.

Cons

Support queue gets long around VAT deadlines

Good but not perfect for our Paarl team

Mostly a good experience over the past 5 years, with some frustrations. Some screens take a few seconds too long to load on slow connections.

Cons

Some screens feel slow on weak connections

Media & Marketing · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Great fit for a small Kimberley business

Good product overall though it took me longer than expected to find my feet. Multi currency costs extra, which stung when we landed our first Namibian client.

Pros

Every bookkeeper in the country knows it

Cons

Stock module not suited to serious warehousing
