Why Switch to Fintura
🚀 Why Accounting Firms Switch to Fintura

Your whole practice.
One login.

Most South African accounting firms are managing CIPC on one platform, tasks on another, billing in a spreadsheet and signatures over WhatsApp. Fintura replaces all of it, and your full client base onboards automatically from your existing data.

Instantly onboard your full client base via automated CIPC import · No long contract · Cancel anytime

What staying put is actually costing you

Switching feels like effort. But every week you stay on your current setup, your practice is quietly absorbing costs that never show up on an invoice.

⏱️

Hours that disappear unbilled

Filing queries, compliance updates, CIPC follow-ups: your team is doing the work but it's never making it onto an invoice. With no time tracking connected to tasks, those hours are just lost.

5–10 hours per accountant, per month
🔄

Manual work your software should be doing

Logging into the CIPC portal client by client. Chasing SARS and DOL registrations across separate platforms. Tracking submission statuses in spreadsheets. Fintura eliminates all of it.

45+ CIPC, SARS & DOL services in-platform
🧩

The hidden cost of 4–5 tools that don't talk

Compliance tool. Task manager. Time tracker. Document tool. Billing system. Each has a subscription, a login and a learning curve. And none of them share data. Fintura consolidates all of it.

One platform replaces them all

"Fintura App helps manage my practice admin so much. Without it I would have had to run numerous different excel sheets to keep track of deadlines. Highly recommend to anyone in practice or finance management with a group of companies to keep track of deadlines, manage admin and teams. I would not recommend any other platform."

The questions firms ask before switching

Honest answers to the real objections we hear from accounting firm owners and finance managers before making the move.

How long does switching to Fintura actually take?+

Most firms are fully up and running in a single session. Sign up, onboard your own organisation, then go to the Clients page and import your client list via CSV. Fintura automatically enriches every company with their full CIPC data: directors, registration numbers, compliance status. All in under 60 seconds, even for 1,000+ entities. No manual data capturing, no spreadsheet mapping, no long onboarding calls.

What happens to our data from our previous tool?+

For CIPC and compliance data, Fintura pulls everything directly from the CIPC registry, so entity information, director details and compliance history are automatically available without any migration. If you need historical task, billing or practice management data brought across, Fintura offers a full data migration service at a one-time cost. You're not starting from scratch.

Is there a contract or minimum commitment?+

No long contract, no minimum, cancel anytime. Compliance is fully pay-as-you-go: pay per service with no subscription required. Practice Management comes with a 14-day free trial. You can also onboard your own company on the free Submit plan and test every compliance workflow at zero cost before rolling it out across your client portfolio.

What if my team resists adopting a new tool?+

This is the most common concern we hear, and it's almost never a problem in practice. Fintura is built to be intuitive: your team sees their tasks, their clients and their deadlines immediately on login, without training. The features that save them the most time, like no more CIPC portal switching and e-signatures instead of WhatsApp chasing, tend to win teams over within the first week. Start with your own firm first, then roll out to clients once you're comfortable.

We're currently locked into another tool's contract. What do we do?+

Start your Fintura free trial now and run both in parallel until your current contract ends. Because Compliance is pay-as-you-go, you can begin filing CIPC, SARS and DOL services through Fintura immediately, even while still paying for your existing tool. Most firms find they've fully transitioned long before their old contract expires.

Does the cost justify itself?+

For most firms, Fintura pays for itself within the first month. At 5–10 hours of recovered billable time per accountant per month, the maths is straightforward. Add in the tools you consolidate: compliance platform, task manager, document tool, e-signature tool, billing system. Most firms find their total software spend stays flat or goes down. The 14-day free trial and pay-as-you-go Compliance option mean you can validate this for your own practice before committing.

Every week you wait is another week of unbilled hours and manual CIPC work
