Extremely Disappointing Experience

I strongly regret engaging with this company. From the beginning, the first thing they insist on is transferring all your profiles (SARS, Xero, and Payroll) to them. Once they have full control, you no longer have proper access or transparency over your own business accounts.

After the transfer, the service promised is simply not delivered. Communication is almost non-existent. When you follow up, you’re told your assigned consultant has “left,” with no proper handover, no accountability, and no continuity of service.

In December, they pressure you to file based on estimates because they want to close early, without considering your company’s actual financial position or values. This puts your business at risk.

Their billing practices are even worse. You are told you will pay 1% of turnover, but you end up paying more than 5%. They overcharge without rendering proper service. They issue multiple invoices in the same month and later claim it’s an “adjustment” because the first invoice was based on an average and not actual income received. This lack of transparency is unacceptable.

When you try to terminate the Service Level Agreement, they demand additional payments and withhold access to your SARS, Xero, and Payroll profiles, effectively holding your business hostage and placing you at risk of non-compliance.

This experience has caused financial strain and unnecessary stress to my business. I would strongly caution other business owners to think carefully before signing any agreement with them.

Good day Solly,We regret that you feel dissatisfied. To clarify, granting us access to your statutory profiles (SARS eFiling, Xero, and Payroll) is essential for performing accounting and compliance services. Without access to the source ledgers and compliance portals, we cannot prepare accurate financial reports, reconcile transactions, or file statutory returns in line with IFRS and SARS requirements.When you onboarded with us on 27 October 2025, your company was not compliant. Before we could proceed with ongoing services, corrective work was required to bring your statutory records up to date. In line with the Service Level Agreement, any compliance work required before that date was billed separately as ad‑hoc. Our invoices therefore reflected the necessary backdated work, not overcharges.We remain committed to transparent billing and professional service, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our communication with clients.
