Professional financial support across South Africa
Accounting & financial reporting

Accounting records that stay organised and useful.

Monthly accounting, year-end reporting and clean-up support that turns day-to-day transactions into reliable financial information.

Monthly bookkeeping Transactions captured and properly classified
Reconciliations Bank, control and balance-sheet accounts
Management reporting Clear monthly or quarterly financial information
Annual statements Year-end financial statements and schedules

A complete accounting function, matched to your business.

The scope can cover routine monthly work, a year-end assignment or historical clean-up where the records have fallen behind.

Monthly accounting

Bookkeeping and transaction processing

We organise and capture the accounting records so that income, expenses, assets, liabilities and owner transactions are properly classified.

  • Bank and cash transactions
  • Supplier and customer activity
  • Expense and income coding
  • Loan and owner-account movements
Control

Bank and balance-sheet reconciliations

Reconciliations identify missing entries, duplicated transactions and unexplained balances before they affect tax returns or annual statements.

  • Bank reconciliations
  • VAT and payroll control accounts
  • Loan and finance balances
  • Debtors, creditors and suspense accounts
Reporting

Management accounts

Management reports provide a practical view of performance, cash flow and financial position during the year rather than only after year-end.

  • Profit and loss reporting
  • Balance-sheet reporting
  • Cash-flow commentary
  • Budget and prior-period comparisons
Year-end

Annual financial statements

We prepare annual financial statements from the final trial balance and supporting schedules using the reporting framework applicable to the entity.

  • Year-end adjustments
  • Accounting policies and notes
  • Cash-flow statements
  • Comparative information
Recovery

Catch-up and accounting clean-up

Where records are incomplete or several periods are outstanding, we reconstruct the accounting information and document the corrections required.

  • Historical bank processing
  • Opening-balance corrections
  • Control-account clean-up
  • Missing-document schedules
Systems

Cloud accounting and reporting setup

We help establish a practical chart of accounts, reporting structure and monthly workflow in the accounting system.

  • Chart-of-accounts design
  • Opening-balance setup
  • Bank-feed review
  • Monthly close process

Reliable accounts reduce surprises.

Good accounting records support tax returns, payroll submissions, funding applications, annual financial statements and management decisions.

The aim is not only to capture transactions. It is to maintain a clear audit trail and ensure that the balance sheet can be explained.

From initial review to completed reporting.

The exact scope is agreed after reviewing the entity, records, reporting period and outstanding requirements.

STEP 01

Understand the records

We review the entity, systems, reporting period, transaction volume and outstanding compliance work.

STEP 02

Collect source information

Bank statements, invoices, payroll reports, contracts and prior balances are gathered.

STEP 03

Process and reconcile

Transactions are captured and key control and balance-sheet accounts are reconciled.

STEP 04

Resolve exceptions

Missing documents, unusual balances and classification issues are listed and corrected.

STEP 05

Prepare reports

Management accounts or annual financial statements are prepared from the final records.

STEP 06

Close and hand over

Final schedules, reports and outstanding-action items are organised for management.

Documents normally requested.

The final request list depends on the assignment and the condition of the current records.

Common accounting problems we help resolve.

Identifying these matters early helps define the records, corrections and follow-up work required.

Unreconciled bank accounts

The accounting balance differs from the bank statement or old reconciling items remain unexplained.

Incorrect opening balances

Prior-year closing balances were not carried forward correctly or were changed without support.

Mixed personal and business costs

Owner or director transactions have not been separated from operating expenses.

Unsupported balance-sheet accounts

Loans, deposits, assets, taxes or suspense balances cannot be linked to schedules.

Late year-end adjustments

Tax, depreciation, provisions and cut-off entries are only identified after reports have been issued.

Reports that do not assist management

The chart of accounts is too broad or inconsistent to show useful business performance.

Accounting records should support the information submitted to SARS and CIPC.
