We used to budget three days per AFS. The first pack we ran through DraftSmart was reviewed and out the door before lunch. The mapping picked up our client’s messy Pastel chart almost perfectly.

The disclosure journals are what sold me. Everything ties back to the trial balance with a proper audit trail, so review queries take minutes instead of an afternoon of digging through spreadsheets.

Twelve entities across the group, all in one place. Onboarding took an afternoon. I’d like more control over note wording, but the statements themselves are spot on for IFRS for SMEs.

Our juniors now spend their time on judgement rather than formatting lead sheets. That alone changed what our February looks like.

As a one-man practice I was drowning every year-end. DraftSmart paid for itself in the first two jobs. Support answered a POPIA question within the hour.

Consistency across the firm was our real problem — every drafter had their own template. Now every pack looks the same and reviews are genuinely faster.
