Make an informed decision

Product names, editions, plans and connected services change. We confirm current capabilities and commercial terms during scoping.
View QuickBooks Online South Africa features ↗- Plan features, user limits and pricing can change; confirm current requirements before subscribing.
- Bank-feed availability differs by bank and connection, so it should be verified during scoping.
- Software can track VAT, but accurate classifications, source documents and review are still essential.
Migrating in
Moving to QuickBooks from what you use now
We migrate businesses into QuickBooks from a range of starting points, each with its own data-quality work.
Whatever the source, the work is the same in principle: agree a conversion date, clean the master data, reconcile opening balances and prove the first period before the old system is retired. Where the backlog is large, catch-up bookkeeping runs first.
- Spreadsheets and manual invoicing
- Desktop accounting packages
- Another cloud accounting platform
- An incomplete handover from a previous accountant
Knowing the ceiling
When you need more than QuickBooks
QuickBooks Online suits owner-managed and growing businesses focused on core finance. These are the signals that the requirement has moved beyond it.
- Inventory needs locations, lot tracking or barcode-driven movement
- You manufacture, assemble or kit products
- Multiple entities need consolidated reporting rather than separate files
- Project profitability has to reconcile to the ledger, not to a spreadsheet
- Purchase and payment approvals need enforced workflow
- Sales pipeline and finance need to be one connected process
If several of these are true, the question is no longer which accounting package to buy. It is whether finance and operations should run on one platform. That is what Odoo ERP is for, and we will say so rather than sell you a bigger accounting licence. If none of them apply, QuickBooks is very likely the right tool and we will tell you that too.
