Do you work specifically with Pretoria-based businesses?

Yes. We support businesses operating in Pretoria and the broader Gauteng region. While many processes can be handled remotely, our services are structured to reflect local business realities and South African compliance requirements.

What’s the difference between accounting and bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping focuses on capturing transactions. Accounting builds on that by interpreting the data, producing meaningful reports, and aligning records with compliance and decision-making needs. Most growing Pretoria businesses need both working together.

Can you help if my accounting is behind?

Yes. We handle catch-up accounting, but first assess how far behind you are and the quality of your records. Once catch-up is completed, we recommend moving to a structured monthly process to prevent future issues.

Do you work with Xero or other accounting systems?

Yes. Many Pretoria businesses use cloud accounting platforms such as Xero. We can work within existing systems or help improve structure where reports are unreliable.

What documents do I need to provide each month?

Typically: Bank statements (or feed access), invoices issued, supplier invoices/receipts, proof of payments, and payroll information. Consistency is more important than volume.

How do accounting services help with VAT and tax?

Accurate accounting ensures VAT submissions and tax calculations are based on correct data. Poor accounting often leads to VAT errors, missed deductions, or unnecessary tax exposure. Clean records make tax compliance smoother.

Can accounting help my business grow?

Yes. Reliable reports allow you to track profitability accurately, control costs, plan cash flow, and prepare for funding or expansion. Growth without financial clarity increases risk.
