Achekam

Four suites, priced in the open

Practice, Business, Executive and Enterprise Operations: each suite’s published plans, in rand excluding VAT. A plan card starts that suite’s sign-up on that plan; custom plans are a conversation.

Each suite has its own plans on the shared platform foundation. Start with the suite you need; other modules, other suites’ included, can be added later from your workspace.

What it covers

  • Starter Practice — For a small firm: general ledger and cashbook, trial-balance intake, the AFS studio, client books and the client vault, with e-mail support.
  • Professional Practice — Everything in Starter, plus ISRE 2400 review working papers, payroll, the client review room, CRM and proposals, with phone support.
  • Enterprise Practice and Custom Firm Network — Adds ISA audit working papers, group audits, iXBRL, tenders and quality management; the Custom Firm Network adds single sign-on, IP allow-listing and white-label.
  • Business Essentials and Business Plus — For a business keeping its own books: accounting, invoicing, banking and documents; Plus adds payroll, procurement and inventory. The Commerce add-on (till, warehousing, wholesale) joins any plan.
  • Executive and Enterprise Operations — Achekam Executive (relationship intelligence for executives and partners) and Achekam Enterprise Operations (the IT service desk) show their plans as the catalogue publishes them; until a plan is published, the page says so.

The standard behind it

Achekam Commercial Terms of Service, Section 4 (Fees & Payment Terms). Billed in South African Rand (ZAR), monthly or annually; a plan can be changed from the workspace's billing settings.

Questions

Can I change my plan as my practice grows?
Yes. Your workspace's billing settings let you change plan and add users or add-ons as your practice grows.
What is included in the 14-day free trial?
The trial is free and needs no card. A firm's trial runs with Professional Practice's features and a business's with Business Plus's, whichever plan you then choose. The prices and allowances of every plan are in the pricing section of the home page.
