Choosing accounting software for a South African small business

A quick checklist for what actually matters - and where EZE123 fits against it.

Built around South African VAT and SARS reporting, not bolted on

15% VAT out of the box, with Standard/Zero-rated/Exempt tax codes on every line. A VAT Summary and a VAT201-formatted return (with CSV export) so what you owe SARS is never a separate spreadsheet you have to reconcile by hand.

One ledger every report ties back to

Every invoice, bill, payment and bank allocation posts through the same double-entry ledger. Trial Balance, Income Statement and Balance Sheet are all computed from that one ledger, so they can never quietly disagree with each other.

Real, module-by-module user roles

Invite your team and choose exactly what each person can see and do - not just "admin" or "read-only", but per module and per report, down to splitting who can create a pay run from who can approve it.

Bank import that gets faster the more you use it

Import a bank statement and get a suggested allocation for each transaction from keyword rules it learns from your own corrections - not a one-off import that leaves you allocating everything by hand forever.

Cloud-hosted, not tied to one PC

Your data lives online, not on one machine - work from anywhere, with your team, and download a full backup of your company's data any time you want one.

Payroll that talks to the same ledger

PAYE, UIF and SDL worked out for you on every pay run, posting straight into the same books as everything else - not a separate payroll product you have to reconcile against your accounts by hand.
