Fintura vs InfoDocs

InfoDocs is a great company secretarial tool built for business owners who need to stay on top of their CIPC obligations. Fintura is something different entirely. It's a full practice operating system built specifically for accounting firms and finance teams. You get all the core CIPC compliance you'd expect, plus practice management, automated task billing, client engagement tracking, legally-valid e-signatures and real-time practice analytics. Think of InfoDocs as doing one job well. Fintura does that job and runs your whole practice at the same time.

Honestly, yes. Fintura's pricing is slightly higher than InfoDocs. But here's the thing: InfoDocs is one tool. Fintura replaces several. Your CIPC platform, your task manager, your billing system, your client engagement tool and your compliance document workflow all live in one place. Most firms that switch find their total software spend actually goes down. And because Fintura automatically surfaces billable tasks that would otherwise slip through the cracks (think compliance updates, filing queries and annual return prep) most practices recover far more than the subscription cost within the first month.

No, and that's not a criticism. InfoDocs is focused on doing company secretarial work really well. It was not built to manage your team's workload, track billable tasks, handle client engagement letters or give you a view of what every staff member is working on. If you need those things alongside your CIPC compliance, you'd need to bolt on extra tools. Fintura brings it all together so your team works from one place rather than five.

Fair question, and we hear it a lot! InfoDocs handles your CIPC filings well. But it cannot tell you which compliance tasks across your client base are going unbilled each month. Things like filing queries, beneficial ownership follow-ups, compliance updates and annual return prep conversations all take real time and often never make it onto an invoice. Fintura turns every task into a billing opportunity by linking your compliance work directly to your invoicing. For most firms it is not about replacing something that is broken. It is about unlocking revenue that is already being earned but not being captured.

Fintura actually covers significantly more than InfoDocs when it comes to the full compliance picture. Yes, both platforms handle core CIPC services well. But Fintura goes beyond CIPC to cover the full suite of compliance services that finance professionals managing multiple entities actually need. That includes VAT Registrations, Registered Representative Registrations, COIDA, UIF services and a wide range of SARS and Department of Labour submissions. InfoDocs is focused on company secretarial and CIPC specifically, which is great if that is all you need. If you are managing a book of clients across the full compliance lifecycle, Fintura is built to handle it all in one place rather than sending you to a different platform for every service type.

Absolutely. While InfoDocs is primarily used by business owners managing their own company's compliance, Fintura is built for both accounting firms managing large client portfolios and internal finance teams overseeing multi-entity corporate groups. Finance teams use Fintura to centralise statutory governance, manage beneficial ownership structures across subsidiaries and keep audit-ready records for every entity, all from one secure platform. No more spreadsheets, no more chasing subsidiaries for compliance updates.

Most firms are up and running in a single session. Fintura's bulk CIPC import lets you onboard 10 to 1,000 plus entities in under 60 seconds by pulling data directly from the CIPC registry. No manual data capturing, no spreadsheet uploads, no painful migration. Here is how the free access works so there is no confusion. For Practice Management, you get a full 14-day free trial so you can explore task management, billing, client engagement and the full practice suite before committing. For Compliance, you can onboard your own company for free forever on the Submit subscription. That means you can test CIPC services, document generation and all compliance workflows yourself, with zero risk, before rolling it out across your client portfolio. You get to kick the tyres properly on both sides of the platform before spending a cent.
