Hartley & Co

"After trying almost every single task and practice management software — this is by far the most user-friendly. We finally retired the deadline spreadsheet."

"First audit season we didn't print anything. Reviews happened on the file, not on someone's desk. Our trainees actually navigate it without a 30-minute briefing."

Everything you need to know.

How does DataGrows handle SARS and CIPC deadlines?

Deadlines populate against the SA regulatory calendar automatically. Recurring tasks generate from due dates, day-counters tick down per client, and your team sees what's overdue, due soon, and on track on a single dashboard.

Can DataGrows replace our existing audit software?

Yes. DataGrows includes audit file structure, lead sheets, working papers, customisable programmes and review trails — designed around how SA audit files are actually built.

Does it integrate with Microsoft 365?

Yes — bulk client communications run direct from your Microsoft 365 tenant, and documents stay in sync with your existing storage.

How long does setup take?

Most sole practitioners are running within an afternoon. Mid-tier firms are typically fully migrated within two to four weeks with a dedicated onboarding lead.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. 30 days, full platform, no credit card required.

Manage client tasks and deadlines easily.
