What we do
Nine services,
by how often
you think about them.
Alphabetical lists are for accountants. This is the order a business owner lives in.
Every month
01-
Accounting
Books current in Xero, Sage, QuickBooks or BeanworX. Management accounts before you ask.
-
Payroll
Payslips, EMP201, UIF and SDL. Run, submitted, reconciled.
-
Virtual CFO
A standing session on cash, margin and the next twelve months.
Every year
02-
Taxation
Company, trust and personal returns, provisional tax, objections, SARS letters.
-
Independent Reviews
Annual financial statements and the review your public interest score calls for.
-
Secretarial
CIPC returns, director changes, beneficial ownership. Kept in good standing.
When you need it
03-
Valuations
A defensible number for a sale, a buy-out or a funder — workings shown.
-
Financial Modelling
Forecasts you can actually change. Hire two people. Lose a client. Raise prices.
-
System Training
Your team taught the system properly once, instead of guessing for three years.
The board behind the counter
The dates that
cost money.
This board is live. Every date is worked out from the SARS rules, weekends and South African public holidays — not typed in.

The practice
Small, and
deliberately so.
No call centre. We are digital accountants — the person who does your work is the person who answers you.

What it's like to be a client
You get a counter,
not an inbox.
Every client gets a login: what we're waiting on, every document we've ever prepared for you, your statements — and the document tools that save you e-mailing us in the first place.
Document tools
Open a file and pick what to do with it — or choose a tool first. Nothing leaves this server.
Edit & sign Client
Text, dates, ticks, white-out and your signature, on any PDF.
Merge & organise Free
Combine PDFs, reorder, rotate, delete pages.
Split PDF Free
Break one PDF into separate files, by page or range.
Photos → PDF Free
Phone photos and scans into one clean PDF.
Convert to PDF Client
Word, Excel, PowerPoint or text in — PDF out.
Unlock PDF Free
Strip the password off a PDF you have the password for.
Protect PDF Client
Put a password on it so only the right people can open it.
Compress PDF Free
Shrink a big PDF until it will actually attach to an e-mail.
PDF → JPG Client
Export each page of a PDF as an image.
PDF → Word / Excel Client
Turn a PDF back into something you can edit.
Make it searchable Client
Add a text layer to a scan so it can be searched.
Send it to us Client
Answer one of our requests, or drop a file into your file.
12 document tools, self-hosted on our own server — no watermarks, no third-party website, no client document leaving the practice. 5 are open to anyone; the rest come with being a client.
