If you are an accounting firm

Run the practice, keep the books, or both

Two halves, and you take either on its own. The choice is one click at signup, and adding the other later changes nothing you have already captured. Compare the two →

Or both, on one login. That is the version this was designed for: the invoice you raise a client lands in your own debtors ledger, and the books you keep feed their annual financial statements without an export in between.

Compare & price it

Not an accounting firm? If you run a business and want to keep your own books (and invite your accountant in), that is a flat R299 a month with unlimited users.

One login

Replace the patchwork of spreadsheets, generic tools and disconnected apps.

SA-first

SARS, CIPC, ISRS 4410 and IFRS for SMEs, built to South African standards, not a foreign tool retrofitted.

AI built in

Drafting, intake and trial balance mapping accelerated by AI where it earns its keep.

The whole engagement lifecycle

From pitch to compliance, without switching tools

Most firms stitch together a CRM, an e-sign tool, a workflow app and a pile of Excel. Virta is the one platform that does the lot, and understands South African practice.

Win the work

Track prospects through a pipeline, then convert them: branded proposals with bundle pricing and an online acceptance portal, AI-assisted intake, and engagement letters that generate from the proposal you just signed, ready to sign electronically.

  • Prospect pipeline
  • Proposals & quotes
  • Engagement letters
  • E-signatures

Run the practice

Every client, job and deadline in one customisable grid, with a firmwide compliance dashboard and reports so nothing slips. Compliance deadlines automatically create the right recurring jobs; assign staff per function, log time, work through to-dos, collect information with custom forms, chase outstanding client queries, and keep clients moving through multistep work with shared engagement trackers.

  • Jobs, deadlines & dashboard
  • Time & to-dos
  • Engagement trackers
  • Queries & forms

Do the compliance

The South African toolkit built in, not bolted on: annual financial statements, management accounts, asset registers, tax calcs and the SARS/CIPC busywork, all of it able to read straight from the books when you keep them here too. Payroll is in build.

  • Financial statements & mgmt accounts
  • Tax & SARS/CIPC tools
  • Provisional & asset tax
  • Payroll (in build)

Communicate

Two-way email from your own mailbox: a shared practice inbox triages what comes in, while the outbox queues outgoing correspondence for review. Schedule sends, run bulk campaigns and recurring per client reminders, with a full audit trail of everything that left the firm and a secure portal for documents and approvals.

  • Practice inbox & outbox
  • Scheduled, bulk & recurring
  • Per client reminders
  • Secure portal
