Most don't fail because the product is bad or the market is small. They fail because the admin closes them first.

Which banks does BMS work with?+
Every South African bank. Upload statements from FNB, Standard Bank, Absa, Nedbank, Capitec, Discovery, TymeBank - or forward your bank's transaction notification emails to BMS for automatic capture.
I'm not VAT-registered. Is BMS for me?+
Yes. Most SA SMEs are below the R1m VAT threshold. BMS treats you correctly: invoices say 'INVOICE' (not 'TAX INVOICE'), the Brain doesn't push VAT registration unnecessarily, and the calendar only shows the obligations that apply to you.
Do I still need an accountant?+
Maybe - but you'll need them less. BMS handles the day-to-day bookkeeping. If you don't have an accountant, our marketplace will match you with vetted SA professionals.
Can I import from Sage / Xero / QuickBooks?+
Yes for invoices, clients, and chart of accounts via CSV. Bank-statement formats from all major SA banks supported.
What about my data?+
BMS is hosted in South Africa, on POPIA-compliant infrastructure. You can export everything as CSV any time. Your data is yours - there's no lock-in.
