What our clients say
At Preferred Solutions Group, we pride ourselves on the longstanding relationships with our client, and keeping them happy! Here are testimonials from satisfied clients.
As a financial advisory practice based in Port Elizabeth, SFP Wealth is built on providing our clients with clear, personalised financial advice from investments to insurance to retirement planning. In a business like ours, trust and accuracy are everything and having control over our internal systems is non-negotiable. That’s where Shane and his team at Preferred Solutions stepped in and made all the difference. We approached them with a challenge: we needed to streamline how we manage our commission structures and maintain our growing client database — all within the tools we already use every day, like Excel.
They didn’t just deliver; they took the time to understand how our business works, the compliance demands of our industry, and how we serve our clients. They built a smart, customised Excel program that have completely changed the way we work behind the scenes. It’s easier than ever to track key metrics, keep our data clean and accurate, and make faster, more informed decisions. What once took hours now takes minutes. As fellow business owners in PE, it’s refreshing to work with a team that’s not only highly skilled but also genuinely committed to helping local businesses work smarter. We’re proud to recommend Preferred Solutions — their work has added real value to ours.
Spec-Savers Accounting Services has partnered with Preferred Solutions for many years. During our time on Pastel, Shane and his team provided invaluable support, assisting with annual roll-overs, resolving file corruption issues, and keeping our systems stable. More recently, we undertook the large-scale migration of over 300 clients from Pastel to Sage 200.
While much of the implementation was managed internally, Preferred Solutions added real value where it mattered most, from general ledger corrections and Sage database maintenance to login security enhancements and regular updates. Shane’s deep product knowledge and approachable manner helped us work through challenges effectively. Overall, Preferred Solutions has been a reliable technical partner over the years, contributing meaningfully to the continuity and success of our business.
At City Paint & Tool, we're genuinely impressed with Preferred Solutions. Their exceptional service and innovative solutions have significantly streamlined our operations, boosting our efficiency and helping us better serve our customers. They're more than just a provider; they're a trusted partner who consistently delivers real results. We highly recommend them!
