Frequently asked questions

Do I need accounting knowledge to use SNSBooks?

No. The double-entry bookkeeping runs silently in the background. You approve an invoice β€” we post the journal entry. You run payroll β€” we calculate PAYE and create the expense journal. You never need to touch a debit or credit.

How does the SA payroll work?

PAYE tax brackets, UIF rates, SDL rates and rebates are stored in the system and updated each tax year. You approve the payroll run β€” the system calculates deductions, generates payslips, and posts the accounting journal automatically.

Which banks does the live feed support?

FNB, Absa, Standard Bank, Nedbank, Capitec, and Discovery Bank via Stitch.money Open Banking. Transactions sync daily. CSV import is still available as a fallback.

Is my data stored in South Africa?

Yes. SNSBooks is hosted on infrastructure with South African data residency options, supporting POPIA compliance. Employee data and banking details are encrypted at rest.

What is the difference between this and Xero or Sage?

SNSBooks has SA payroll built into the same product β€” not a separate subscription or third-party add-on. It's priced in Rand for the SA market and designed for businesses that don't have a dedicated bookkeeper.

Can my accountant access my data?

Yes. The Accountant Portal lets your accountant log in and see all your client businesses from one view. You control what role and permissions they have.
