Books your bank will actually accept.
Books that are reconstructed at year-end can satisfy a filing requirement, but they cannot help you run anything — by the time they exist, every decision they might have informed has already been taken. Keeping them current costs about the same and gives you something usable in the meantime.
Prepared monthly and written to be read by an owner rather than an accountant — what moved, why, and what it means for the months ahead.
Compiled to IFRS for SMEs, reconciling to the tax return and the accounting records, and in the format a bank, funder or buyer expects to receive.
Where a company’s Public Interest Score places it in the review category under the Companies Act, we perform the review engagement and issue the report.
Where a statutory audit is required, we prepare the file and the supporting schedules and deal with auditor queries, which keeps the audit shorter and cheaper.
Day-to-day processing on QuickBooks or Sage, with bank feeds reconciled and the ledger kept in a state you can actually report from.
Monthly payroll, payslips, EMP201 declarations, and the interim and annual EMP501 reconciliations, along with UIF and leave records.
Forecasts and cash-flow models built off your real figures, for planning, funding applications or testing a decision before committing to it.
We review the existing ledger, bring any backlog up to date and agree the chart of accounts, so reporting is consistent from the first month.
Processing, reconciliation and management accounts on a fixed monthly timetable, so you know when the numbers will land.
Annual financial statements prepared and reconciled to the tax return, with the review or audit handled in the same pass rather than as a separate scramble.
An annual look at whether the reporting is still telling you what you need, and adjusting it where the business has changed.
That depends on your Public Interest Score and what your Memorandum of Incorporation requires. Most owner-managed companies fall into the independent review category rather than a full audit. We will calculate it and tell you which applies.
It is recoverable. Catch-up processing is scoped as a once-off phase, after which the monthly cycle takes over. Doing it properly once is cheaper than repeating a year-end reconstruction annually.
We work primarily on QuickBooks and Sage. If you are on something else, we will look at it — moving is a decision with a cost, and it is not always the right one.
It is scoped separately, priced on headcount, and can run with or without the rest of the accounting engagement.
A 30-minute call with the lead partner — whether accounting & assurance is the right starting point, and what an engagement would look like. No charge.
