What is Saasu?

Saasu is a cloud accounting application made for small businesses in Australia. The company says it was founded in 1998 and calls itself Australia's first online cloud accounting software, launched years before "cloud" became a common term.

The product was designed and built locally, so its compliance and reporting features are not adapted from an overseas product or an older desktop app. Saasu reports more than 10,000 clients across four countries and over $200 billion in transactions managed over its lifetime.

It combines invoicing, expenses, payroll, inventory, multi-currency and cashflow forecasting in one platform, and every feature is included on every plan.

How does Saasu work?

Saasu runs in a web browser, with Safari, Edge, Firefox and Chrome supported, and has native iOS and Android apps. Each subscription covers one accounting file, which represents a single legal entity, and any number of users can access it without extra charges.

Transactions arrive through bank feeds, bank statement imports, invoices, purchases and synced online store orders. Sales, purchases, bank transfers, pays and journal entries count toward a yearly transaction limit measured over the last 365 days.

Payment gateways are connected through the Payments settings. Once a customer pays online, the invoice is marked as paid automatically and a receipt can be sent. Saasu maintains, backs up and updates the servers, which sit in two Sydney locations on Amazon Web Services.

Key features of Saasu

On the sales side, Saasu offers invoices and quotes with online payment, reminders, customer statements, a customer invoice portal and recurring credit card billing. Customers save a card once and are charged automatically on each due date.

Payroll covers pay runs, timesheets, superannuation, leave accrual and Single Touch Payroll reporting to the ATO. Tax tables, super rates and STP requirements update each financial year.

Other tools include expense recording with attached receipts, reports that can be tagged and filtered by job or project, cashflow forecasts and budgets, inventory with build, assemble and bundle options, and multi-currency invoicing with automatic exchange rate conversion.
