##Where is compiled files?

By default it present at @webroot/compiled But you can change it by destinationDir property from config

Full configuration

'components' => array(
	'assetManager' => array(
        'converter'=>array(
            'class'=>'jarrus90\assetConverter\Converter',
            'force'=>false, // true : If you want convert your sass each time without time dependency
            'destinationDir' => 'compiled', //at which folder of @webroot put compiled files
            'parsers' => array(
                'sass' => array( // file extension to parse
                    'class' => 'jarrus90\assetConverter\Sass',
                    'output' => 'css', // parsed output file type
                    'options' => array(
                        'cachePath' => '@app/runtime/cache/sass-parser' // optional options
                    ),
                ),
                'scss' => array( // file extension to parse
                    'class' => 'jarrus90\assetConverter\Sass',
                    'output' => 'css', // parsed output file type
                    'options' => array() // optional options
                ),
            )
        )
    ),
),

Also, for SCSS files you can use alternate configuration:

'components' => array(
    'assetManager' => array(
            'converter'=>array(
                // ...
                'parsers' => array(
                    // ...
                    'scss' => array( // file extension to parse
                        'class' => 'jarrus90\assetConverter\Scss',
                        'output' => 'css', // parsed output file type
                        'options' => array( // optional options
                            'enableCompass' => true, // default is true
                            'importPaths' => array(), // import paths, you may use path alias here, 
                                // e.g., `['@path/to/dir', '@path/to/dir1', ...]`
                            'lineComments' => false, // if true — compiler will place line numbers in your compiled output
                            'outputStyle' => 'nested', // May be `compressed`, `crunched`, `expanded` or `nested`,
                                // see more at http://sass-lang.com/documentation/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#output_style
                        ),
                    ),
                ),
            ),
        ),
    // ...
