What is a good alternative to Xero in South Africa?

Xero is a capable global accounting platform. If what you need is SARS-ready quotes and invoices, VAT kept apart for the VAT201, basic payroll and a free login for your accountant, at a rand price that does not move, Bookkeeping & Invoicing is the South African alternative: from R190 a month, no setup fee, month to month.

Bookkeeping & Invoicing: three plans from R190 to R950 a month. No setup fee, month to month. Free trial: 7 days and 20 quotes or invoices, no card.

What comes with you

Export your contacts, items, suppliers and unpaid invoices from your current package as CSV or Excel. At setup, Bookkeeping & Invoicing reads them in: unpaid invoices keep their own numbers, and your opening balances go in on the day you start. Your next invoice number carries on from your last one.

Pick a clean start date

Most businesses switch at the start of a VAT period or a financial year, so one system holds each period. Keep read access to the old package for your records: SARS can ask for them for five years.

Bring your payroll year with you

If you run payroll, paste the year-to-date figures from your old payroll report into Payroll, Pay before Books. Each person is matched by name, so their tax certificates at year-end cover the whole year.

Try it before you move

The free trial runs for 7 days and 20 quotes or invoices, no card, on the Intermediate features. Start it on the Bookkeeping & Invoicing page.
