- YesAutomated SARS eFiling and compliance workflows

Being fair about it: Konsise is a credible compliance platform, built for corporate tax teams as much as for accounting firms. Their coverage spans tax types rather than VAT alone, they submit beneficial ownership to CIPC, and their entity management is genuinely strong. If compliance is the whole of the job, that focus may be all a team needs.

Frequently asked questions.
Everything accounting firms ask before making the switch from Konsise.
Konsise is a centralised compliance platform for tax, entity management and CIPC beneficial ownership work, built for corporate tax teams and accounting firms. Fintura covers the same compliance ground and adds the practice layer: tasks, engagements, time tracking, billing and client communication in one login, with public pricing. For a firm that wants one system rather than two, that is what makes Fintura the natural Konsise alternative.
No, and that is a scope decision rather than a shortcoming. Konsise concentrates on compliance: tax, entity management and beneficial ownership. There is no time tracking, billing, invoicing or engagement management, so the practice work runs in a second tool. Fintura brings that work and the compliance together.
Konsise delivers SARS correspondence into the platform so a whole team can see it and work on it together, which is a real improvement on eFiling alone. Fintura goes a step further: each letter is read automatically, the task and its deadline are created for you, and the supporting response letter back to SARS plus the email to your client are drafted at the click of a button. Your team reviews and sends instead of starting from a blank page.
Konsise does not publish pricing. There is a free trial, and figures come through a demo (as of July 2026, per konsise.com). Fintura's pricing is public: Compliance starts from R35 per company per month, Practice Management from R299 per user and Tax from R29 per taxpayer, and you can start a 30-day free trial without speaking to anyone.
Most firms are onboarded in a single session. Bulk CIPC import pulls your client base from the registry, services switch on per client, and every CIPC and SARS deadline is scheduled automatically. The 30-day trial covers the whole platform, so you can run both side by side, and your own practice gets Free Submit Access on Compliance.
