Prices shown above are indicative starting prices in South African Rand, correct as of mid-2026, based on published vendor pricing. Actual pricing depends on your number of users, modules, and subscription term. See the full disclaimer at the bottom of this page.
Buying software through ATB isn't just a transaction — it comes with professional support, setup, and training that most resellers don't offer.
We don't just hand you a licence and leave. Every software purchase includes professional installation, company configuration, chart of accounts setup, and basic user orientation.
Get up and running fast with our Sage Pastel and QuickBooks training — on-site, remote, or one-on-one. Your team will be confident users from day one.
Software support from people who also handle your bookkeeping and tax. When something goes wrong — or when SARS releases a tax update — we're already on it.
Not sure which product is right for you? We assess your business size, transaction volumes, team structure, and budget to recommend the best fit — not just the most expensive option.
