I have been in the franchising business the past 25 years: in both the oil and food industries where margins are small and controlled.
I do the bookkeeping for the 4 businesses, so when I was introduced to Dave Hartley and Smartbank in 2012, those “dreaded bank statement entries” became one simple, efficient, accurate & easy download! This has saved me huge time and energy, well worth the investment! Smartbank is compatible with most bookkeeping system, I highly recommend Smartbank.

Smartbank has been an amazing tool for our businesses, saving us approximately 10hours each month. It has not only helped with time-saving, but with the accuracy and consistency of data capturing.
I cannot imagine going back to capturing my cash books manually again and would highly recommend this product to anyone.

I am so excited to share this e-mail with you. As the financial manager of your company and a Netcash client, I thought maybe You might be interested. Please visit the Smartbank website and see below.
It is worth your time having a look, please. Smartbank is really smart.
The show stopper for me was the price. The software is capable of so much more at half the price The service from Mr. Hartley is prompt and he makes you feel as if you are his only VIP client.
2020 is very miserable but this new software has made my year? Thank you, keep well and keep safe.

The Constantia Ratepayers and Residents’ Association have been using the SmartBank manager software
since January 2015.
SmartBank has made month-end and year-end accounts so much easier, saved me a lot of valuable time and eliminated errors particularly as we deal with large numbers of entries - in fact I’m not sure how we managed in the past!
We have found David Hartley to be very helpful in dealing with queries not only with his SmartBank
software, but with accounting in general.
His response to queries is quick and efficient.

unassisted! You called me personally many times and made many suggestions. You were even willing to add a new bank’s layout to your current software to accommodate one of my biggest clients’ bankprocessing.
I will recommend Smartbank to everyone and anyone who doesn’t want to sit and punch punch punch their days away !
