"As a small business owner in South-East Queensland, I've been using Sole for 24 months, and I can't speak highly enough of the app and its features. After struggling with overly complex accounting software, Sole's streamlined interface has been a game-changer, especially during BAS and tax time. The app is straightforward and mobile-friendly, with none of the unnecessary clutter. The customer support from Johann and the team has also been exceptional, showing genuine care throughout."
