Everything a small business actually needs
Butler replaces the spreadsheet, the shoebox of slips and the payroll bureau — without the price tag of the big overseas packages.
Invoicing that gets paid
Quotes, tax invoices, credit notes and statements with correct SARS fields and your own numbering.
Proper double-entry books
Chart of accounts, general ledger, trial balance, income statement and balance sheet — no spreadsheets.
VAT without the panic
15%, zero-rated and exempt per line, with a VAT201-style return you can drill into before you file.
Payroll built for SARS
Payslips, PAYE, UIF and SDL from dated tax tables, plus EMP201 figures and bank payment files.
Bank reconciliation
Import statements from the major South African banks and match them with suggested pairings.
Many businesses, one login
Run several companies side by side, each with its own books, VAT number, branding and team roles.
