FAQ
Fair questions, straight answers.
What does the fixed monthly fee actually include?
Everything listed on the package — bookkeeping, annual financial statements, company and provisional tax, CIPC filings, and on Grow and Steward, VAT, payroll and management accounts. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Work outside the package (a SARS dispute, a big catch-up) is quoted as a fixed project first.
Our books are behind and SARS is unhappy. Can you take that over?
Yes — that’s common, and fixable. We start with a free diagnostic of where things stand, then give you one fixed quote for the catch-up. No judgement, no hourly meter running.
Do we have to change accounting software?
We work cloud-first (Xero or Sage) and handle the migration ourselves, including from desktop Pastel. You keep access to everything — they’re your numbers.
Are we too small (or too big) for you?
Our minimum engagement is R2,500 per month, and our sweet spot is owner-managed businesses up to about R50m turnover. If you need a statutory audit, we’ll refer you to a trusted audit firm — and say so upfront.
