Accfin offers Sky software.
Sky is an integrated software suite consisting of one integrated product that covers the major disciplines designed to run the back office of the accounting firm. Sky is developed from the ground up using state of the art programming and an industrial strength database. Sky was the first cloud ready and web enabled back office system in South Africa for accounting firms and is Accfin’s 4th generation.

Sky Software is a back office suite for accounting firms and despite the different modules for different disciplines is in fact one product that is totally integrated and available to the whole accounting firm. Although totally integrated the software retains the 4 most important back office disciplines of Tax, Secretarial, Time and Debtors, called SKY TAX, SKY SEC and SKY TIME.

Sky Software retains at a minimum the same functionality as Professional Series but in many instances much much more. In the development of the product we used the concept of less is more which has resulted in a much smaller, intuitive and easier to use program, but adds a whole lot of new modern state of the art functionality. The program works using the concept of workflows which makes it very easy to use.

A SQL database called PostgreSQL which is used in 70% of web and cloud based systems in the world is our SQL database of choice and the programing language is Java. These aspects lends itself to producing an application which is cloud ready and web enabled which can handle an unlimited amount of data, however if you dont think you are ready for the cloud a practice can run it in their own network environment.

Sky Software is installed on the server and various terminals across the office and can access the data via browser or smart client (very small java applet that is downloaded to the terminal). There are no complicated software installations on terminals and users can roll out the software to as many terminals as they want as we now offer an unlimited licence.

Sky Software will run on any server and any terminal device including tablets. The software has moved to being total screen based or enquiry based allowing the user to access any aspect that they want.

Sky Software now runs in the Accfin Cloud or in your own private cloud.

Sky Software is an enquiry based system and can be run on a totally paperless basis

Sky Tax

Sky Tax is a system designed to manage and process the interactions between a Tax Practitioner, their tax clients and SARS. This ultimate Tax Management system is designed to help in the running of a tax department, managing, tracking and controlling each aspect of a client’s tax affairs, making sure you as a Tax Practitioner meet your tax return deadlines to SARS and most important of all, reducing risk of exposure to liability.

Sky Tax interacts directly with the SARS eFiling server on a bulk basis instead of on a one to one basis saving a huge amount of time.
