Double-entry accounting
Every rand balanced, every report agrees
Secure by design
Encryption, audit log, two-step sign-in
WhatsApp-friendly
Share invoices where your customers are
Install it like an app
Fast on any phone, tablet or laptop
Everything in one place
From the first quote to the final report
No more spreadsheets, scattered PDFs and guessing what's in the bank. One place, one set of books.
Quotes that turn into invoices
Professional, branded quotes your customer accepts online with one tap. Convert to an invoice without retyping a thing.
Get paid faster
Send invoices by email or WhatsApp with a secure view link, track who opened them, and let polite automatic reminders do the chasing.
Expenses & supplier bills
Snap a receipt, capture the VAT, approve bills and schedule payments so nothing slips past its due date.
Bank reconciliation
Import statements from FNB, ABSA, Standard Bank, Nedbank, Capitec or Investec. Smart matching finds the invoice or bill for each line.
Reports that add up
Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, aged debtors and more — all from one ledger, so every report agrees with every other.
VAT ready
Output and input VAT by period, laid out like your VAT201, with the period locked once you file. You stay in control of submission.
Stock that keeps itself
Products move out when you invoice and in when you receive a bill. Low-stock alerts and cost of sales handled for you.
Your team, your rules
Invite your accountant, salespeople and finance staff with the right access each — and see every change in the audit log.
Cash flow, not guesswork
Know who owes you — and get it paid
Automatic reminders
Friendly emails before and after the due date, in your words. Stop the moment it's paid.
Online invoice & quote links
Customers view, download and accept on their phone — you see when they've opened it.
Aged debtors at a glance
Current, 30, 60 and 90+ days, with one click to the invoice and a statement to send.

Questions, answered honestly
Is there a free plan?
No, but every new business gets a 2-week demo with every feature switched on and no card needed. When the demo ends the app is closed until you choose Starter, Business or Professional. Nothing you captured is deleted, and it all opens again as soon as you choose a plan.
Is Ingenious Nexus SARS-certified, and does it file my VAT?
No. Ingenious Nexus prepares your VAT figures from your books and lays them out to match the VAT201, but it doesn't submit anything to SARS. You (or your practitioner) file on SARS eFiling and record the reference in the app.
Can I send invoices on WhatsApp?
Yes. By default we open WhatsApp on your phone with a message and a secure link to the invoice, ready for you to send. Businesses with a WhatsApp Business API account can have messages sent directly.
Does it connect to my bank automatically?
Today you import statements (PDF, CSV or OFX) from your online banking — it takes under a minute, and re-importing the same dates is safe. Live bank feeds need a banking partner and aren't available yet.
Will my accountant be happy with it?
Every transaction is recorded with proper double-entry, and you can give your accountant their own login with the Accountant role. They get a trial balance, general ledger, manual journals and exports to Excel.
Is my data safe?
Each business's data is kept separate and checked on every request. Bank account numbers are encrypted, passwords are hashed, every change is written to an append-only audit log, and you can turn on two-step verification.
Can I pay yearly?
Yes. Every paid plan can be paid monthly, or once a year for less than twelve monthly payments (the saving is shown on each plan). You can switch between monthly and yearly from Plan & billing.
Can I cancel or change plans?
Yes, any time from Plan & billing. If you move to a smaller plan you keep all your data — features just switch off until you upgrade again.
