A free review
Thirty minutes to understand the business and see honestly where the books stand right now. No obligation, and no sales script.
Your books, closed on time, every month.
Bookkeeping, VAT and payroll for small South African businesses that have outgrown doing it themselves.
A 30-minute review of where your books stand, at no charge.
You probably know it's time
- You're reconciling bank statements at nine on a Sunday night.
- Your VAT201 went in late again, and SARS has started adding penalties.
- Someone asks whether last month was profitable and you can't answer without opening three spreadsheets.
- Your slips live in a shoebox, a glovebox, and an email folder.
What arrives every month
Books captured and reconciled
Every transaction recorded in QuickBooks and matched to the bank, kept current rather than caught up at year end.
Management reports
Income statement, balance sheet and cash position, with a short note on what moved and why.
VAT returns
VAT201 prepared, reviewed with you and submitted before the deadline.
Payroll
Payslips, EMP201 and statutory contributions, run on schedule.
Documents filed
Invoices and slips captured and retrievable — so an audit query takes minutes, not a weekend.
What I don't do
I don't perform audits and I don't submit income tax returns. That's deliberate — it keeps the focus on the work that has to happen every single month.
What it means for you: when your auditor or tax practitioner does need something, they receive books that are already clean and complete. Their work gets faster, and their invoice gets smaller.
How it works
Four steps from first call to a month that runs itself.
A written quote
One fixed monthly fee, with everything it covers set out in writing. You'll know the number before you commit to anything.
Handover
I set up QuickBooks and the access I need. If there's a backlog, we agree a plan to clear it before the first normal month begins.
The monthly rhythm
Books reconciled, reports delivered, VAT and payroll filed on time. Every month, without you chasing me for it.
Late books cost more than late fees
SARS penalties are the visible cost. The expensive one is quieter: decisions made on a gut feel because the numbers weren't ready, and year-end audit work billed at a premium because someone had to reconstruct twelve months from a shoebox.
Keeping books current isn't an administrative nicety. It's the cheapest version of the same work.
Who I work with
Small companies and service delivery businesses — the ones where the owner has been doing the books after hours and has run out of hours. Typically somewhere between five and fifty transactions a week, one or two bank accounts, and a handful of staff on payroll.
