Our Clients

The Audit Toolbar is a game-changer for auditors.

“The Audit Toolbar’s Sampling tool has revolutionized our work – tasks that used to take 10 steps can now be done in just a few clicks. The features I’ve explored are not only easy to use but represent just a small fraction of what’s available. It’s amazing to see how The Audit Toolbar is leveling the playing field between Big 4 firms with massive resources and those like ours, ensuring we have access to equally powerful tools.”

Morne Nel

Senior audit Manager at Zeelie Auditors

“I rely heavily on the GL Cleaner, Sampler, and templates in The Audit Toolbar. The sampling tool is a standout—it’s not something I’ve seen in other software. What’s really impressive is how smoothly everything works together. I can clean up data with the GL Cleaner, extract accounts into a pivot table, and then use the random sampler to quickly add the sample to one of our templates. It’s a seamless, efficient process that saves me loads of time.”

“Since we started using The Audit Toolbar at Evolve Namibia, we’ve become so much more efficient. The working papers help us stay consistent across the team, and it’s reassuring to know our audits are meeting a clear, reliable standard. It really gives us confidence in the quality of the work we deliver.”

Daniël Kotze

Managing Partner, Evolve Namibia.

“As a Partner, the Audit Toolbar has been a real game changer for me. It’s taken a lot of the stress out of the process - just knowing we have it and seeing how much time the GL Cleaners save us, makes such a difference. We’re able to get through the data cleanup so much faster, which means we can focus more on the audit work that really needs our attention.

Freek Mulder

Partner, Nel en Vennote

"The time-saving factor of using the GL Cleaners has been a real win for us. It allows our clerks to focus on analysing the data, rather than spending hours manually cleaning it. That shift has made a big difference. Not only does the GL Cleaner help us complete our work faster, but it also gives us confidence that it’s being done accurately and consistently."

Wynand Bezuidenhout

Assistant Audit Manager, SDK Chartered Accountants.

"I have just completed an audit and am very happy with my experience using The Audit Toolbar. It helps me with all my everyday procedures - and if you’re only using it for auditing, you’re not taking advantage of its full capacity. Our working papers are now set up in a much more streamlined way, which has been a real time-saver. Being able to simply push a button and have the correct templates appear with the right methodology saves me so much extra work and frustration. I also have the reassurance that my team is always working on the correct templates - and that’s a great relief."

Gert Wessels

Audit Manager, CJ Wessels & Kie

"The GL Cleaners have saved us so much time! The time we save allows us to get more done and really focus on the audit work that matters. It’s also created extra capacity for our team, making it easier to support each other and deliver quality work."

Marthie Joubert, Baudene Simpson and Merle Rautenbach

Audit Managers, Rautenbach Auditors

"The Audit Toolbar has completely transformed the way I work! The GL Cleaning function alone has saved me days of effort — what used to take a full week now only takes about an hour. It’s unbelievably easy to use, with so many powerful functions just a click away. The Match Up feature is a standout for me, making it simple to compare last year’s data with the current year and instantly spot variances. It’s fast, efficient, and has taken my audit analysis to a whole new level!"

Albert Zano

Senior Auditor, Nolands Harare

"The GL Cleaners in the Audit Toolbar have been a real game-changer for me. At the start of an audit, time is so precious - cleaning up some messy GLs could take me an entire day, but now I can do it in just one click of a button. The unmerge and delete blank rows functions are lifesavers, especially when working with files full of merged cells, and the combine function has saved me hours when dealing with multiple tabs of account data. Getting that time back means I can focus on other critical parts of the audit and better support my team. It’s made the whole process so much more efficient and far less stressful."

Caleb Harebottle

Audit Assistant Manager, Baker Tilly JHB

"Working in The Audit Toolbar has been an eye-opener, showing me what else I can do in it. The GL Cleaner’s ability to process multiple GLs at the same time saves me so much time and allows me to accomplish a lot more. The basic templates are a great shortcut for bringing in new sheets and are easily modifiable to suite my needs. Furthermore, the autofill features makes navigating through data much quicker and easy."

Rudolph van den Bergh

Senior Audit Trainee, Baker Tilly JHB

"My experience using The Audit Toolbar has been excellent. I’ve become so much more efficient - I can now perform multiple tasks with just the click of a button. The ability to sort, combine, and clean GLs has saved me an incredible amount of time. Instead of getting stuck prepping data, I can now focus on the actual audit work. It’s helped me stay on track, avoid unnecessary problems, and concentrate on what really matters."

Bongani Shibase

Audit Trainee, Accensis

"Before using The Audit Toolbar, we spent so much time manually filtering and cleaning our GLs - especially when training junior team members, which made the process even longer. The GL Cleaners have been a huge help, saving us countless hours and even pivoting everything for us in one go. It’s improved our budgets, freed up time to focus on the more analytical parts of the audit, and honestly, it’s given us some breathing room. It’s been a real game-changer for our team."

Dentimone Naidoo

Audit Manager, SBC Chartered Accountants Incorporated

“Before The Audit Toolbar, our sampling was manual, slow, and inconsistent. Now, with just a few clicks, we generate statistically sound samples, saving huge amounts of time and freeing our team to focus on meaningful audit work. The impact goes beyond efficiency. Morale has improved, quality has risen, and auditors are more engaged. The GL Cleaner has been equally invaluable, instantly standardising messy exports from systems like Xero and QuickBooks. And the real differentiator? The team behind it. Their customer service is exceptional, listening to feedback and rolling out improvements in weeks. A refreshing experience for a smaller firm like ours.”

Jack Woolner

Audit Manager, Dux Advisory

"The Audit Toolbar is incredibly helpful. The ability to combine and clean multiple sheets has made my life so much easier. It takes care of all the time-consuming parts, freeing me up to focus on other important work. I recently worked on a GL with over 300 tabs - a task that would normally take an entire day - but with The Audit Toolbar, it was done in just a few minutes."

Shantel Jansen Van Rensburg

Audit Manager, Enslins Vryburg

"The Audit Toolbar has been a game-changer for us. It’s cut the time we spend picking samples and filtering through reports by half, which was our main goal when adopting it. Beyond saving time, it is incredibly user-friendly thanks to the built-in helper tool that explains each feature and how to use it effectively.
This efficiency means I can focus on the areas that really matter—like the actual testing process and reviewing invoices—rather than getting bogged down in repetitive tasks. It has reduced errors, streamlined our workflow, and even helped me develop my audit knowledge as a trainee by allowing me to concentrate on more important areas.
Overall, it’s done exactly what we wanted: making our process more efficient and less draining."

Aaron Meldrum

Trainee Chartered Accountant, Drummond Laurie Chartered Accountants

"The Audit Toolbar has assisted in streamlining our data validity and clean up procedures, currently being able to verify accounting records is not only quick but easily reperformable.
As a reviewer reperformance builds character… mostly frustration actually, but now reperformance is a breeze especially with samples carried out using a cleaned dataset as a source (a brilliantly formatted trend driven pivot of the ledger created) with clear steps for an opening balance check. Quick and concise evaluations of journal entries (top tier feature)!!
A big plus would be the quick access excel functions embedded in the ribbon that increases confidence amongst our trainees but honestly the best add in would be the support staff. Prompt, efficient and useful!!"

Khofhid Govender

Assistant Audit Manager – Accensis Incorporated

"The Audit Toolbar has really improved our audit process. We’ve saved a significant amount of time when it comes to sampling. The analytics have also provided valuable insights without adding extra steps. These time savings make it much easier for us to meet our deadlines and focus on other important audit tasks. It’s been a very worthwhile and helpful tool for our team."

Phillip Heyns

Audit Partner. Alberto Prins Registered Accountant and Auditors.

"The Audit Toolbar has become an essential part of our audit process. Before starting any engagement—whether it’s a compilation, review, or audit—we always use the GL cleaner first. It saves us so much time and ensures our data is ready to work with. We also make extensive use of the sampling functionality, which has quickly become a favourite in our team. The tool is simple to use, reliable, and has fitted seamlessly into our workflow. So far, we haven’t experienced any issues, and it’s been a real value-add to our practice."

Lucian Adams

Financial Accounting, Team Leader Auditing Southern Right Financial Solutions

"The Audit Toolbar has made a noticeable difference in my work, especially when cleaning up the General Ledgers in Sage. Depending on the size of the job, it can save me anything from a few minutes to several hours. For larger clients with lots of nominals, what used to be a time-consuming and manual process is now significantly faster and much more efficient. The time savings are definitely noticeable, and I am really happy to have this tool available to me. This alone makes having this tool worth it"

Saad Ahsan

Partner at Cartwrights

“Since the August update, The Audit Toolbar has been absolutely amazing. I am able to complete my sampling and data manipulation much faster, and the tool is efficient, easy to navigate, and reduces the risk of errors.
What I value most is the time it saves me-time I can now spend on my reports and addressing review notes without feeling rushed. The GL cleaning function makes testing journals much easier, and the new version gives me flexibility with cashbook and entry type cleaning as well as date formats.
Overall, it has streamlined my audit work, boosted my efficiency, and even deepened my enjoyment of using Excel in new ways. I have no complaints, The Audit Toolbar has truly added value to my day-to-day work.”

Mitchel Mashaba

Audit Trainee, Sheldon Prinsloo Inc.

"The Audit Toolbar has transformed the way we work. Its biggest impact has been creating efficiencies by reducing the time spent on detailed tasks and helping us get to outputs faster. This consistency and speed allow our team to focus on the more important aspects of the audit - adding real value to our clients rather than getting stuck in manual processes. It’s not just about meeting statutory requirements anymore; it’s about contributing to the improvement and success of our clients."

Paul Wilson

Audit Partner, L Rubin & Company Inc

"The Audit Toolbar has become such a standard part of my workflow that when I was on my personal laptop last night, I instinctively reached for it and realised it wasn't there! It’s become an absolute essential for me. We’ve even implemented dedicated weekly training blocks for all our staff to ensure everyone adopts it as their new baseline."

Robert Smith

"J.E.T.S^® revolutionised the way we test manual journals. The tool brings consistency to our testing, which is great for review, and crucially focusses on the risk-based approach required by regulators."

Paolo Lucci

Corporate Services Senior, Whitings LLP, Chartered Accountants

"The Audit Toolbar has saved a significant amount of time for us. Where it previously took 3-4 days to send out samples, from receiving the general ledger from the client, cleaning it and selecting a sample, we now send out samples within 1 day. Our audit clients are also very happy with the faster turnaround time."

Muhammad Kadodia

Senior Manager at Essa & Associates
