Do you do the Trust Audit yourselves?

We prepare the books to 'Audit Ready' status and then facilitate the audit through our independent audit partners (as required by the LPC for separation of duties).

I am a new advocate. How do I register for VAT?

Once your fee income exceeds R1 million/year, it's mandatory. We handle the registration and ensure you claim input VAT on chambers fees, robing, and library costs.

Can you handle GhostPractice / AJS exports?

Yes. We import data from legal practice management suites straight into Xero or Sage for your final financial statements.

Do you handle payroll for law firms?

Yes, we manage payroll for candidate attorneys, secretaries, and professional staff, including all SARS returns.

Can you assist with a new firm setup?

Yes, from CIPC registration to initial Trust Account opening and Section 86 notification to the bank.
