What we do
Four areas, one team. Most engagements touch more than one, which is the reason the firm is built this way. If you are not sure which one your problem sits in, that is normal, and it is our job to work it out rather than yours.
Outsourced Accounting
We process your day-to-day accounts and keep them up to date and accurate, so you can rely on the figures across all the services we offer. One accountable team, instead of a bookkeeper you have to chase.
Tax
From registration to submission, we handle your income tax, provisional tax and VAT, so you stay tax compliant with SARS.
Payroll
Monthly payroll processing and payslips, PAYE registration, monthly and annual reconciliations, the skills development levy and UIF contributions, filed correctly and on time.
Annual Financial Statements
We compile your annual financial statements, apply the reporting framework that fits your company, and confirm whether they need an audit or an independent review.
Management Information
Monthly management accounts built around what you, as the owner, actually need to see, with variance analysis against budget so you know not just the number, but whether it is moving the way it should.
Internal Controls
We help you build robust financial internal controls and provide applicable recommendations for you to implement.
Employment Contracts
Clear written contracts and job descriptions that set out pay, working hours, leave and benefits, kept up to date as the law changes.
Pay and Working Hours
Checking that wages, overtime, Sunday and public holiday pay, leave and payslips comply with the national minimum wage and any rules specific to your sector.
Discipline, Dismissals and Grievances
A disciplinary code and a step-by-step procedure, from the first warning through to the hearing, outcome and appeal, together with a grievance procedure for staff complaints. We chair or initiate disciplinary hearings.
Employment Equity
Establishing whether the reporting duties apply to your business and, if they do, handling staff consultation, the employment equity plan and the annual reports. Where records were never kept, we put them in order.
Health and Safety
Your duties under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, including the written appointments of those responsible for safety in your workplace.
Staff Structure and Performance
When staff live on your property, ending their employment doesn't instantly cancel their right to live there. We put clear, binding tenancy agreements in place to protect your business.
Buying or Selling a Business
When a business is sold as a going concern, its employees transfer automatically to the new owner under section 197 of the Labour Relations Act. We guide buyers and sellers through the process.
Whistleblowing
A confidential reporting channel that operates outside line management, with a policy that complies with the Protected Disclosures Act.
Disputes and CCMA Referrals
It covers assessing the employee's claim, making sure the paperwork is in order, preparing the employer's case for conciliation and arbitration, and advising on settlement.
Retrenchments and Incapacity
It covers section 189 consultations, and dismissals for ill health or poor performance.
Immigration
One
Assess whether the application is viable, and which category actually fits, before anyone spends money on it.
Two
Build the application file, and draft the employer and applicant documents it stands on.
Three
Index and bundle submission and any other housekeeping.
Four
Carry it through to lodgement, and deal with what comes back.
Governance and Compliance
We put the structures in place that keep a business accountable and on the right side of the law.
Company Registration and CIPC Filings
We handle your dealings with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) from start to finish. That covers name reservations and new company registrations, changes to directors, registered address and company details, annual returns, beneficial ownership filings, and the deregistration or reinstatement of a company.
Contracts
We draft and review the agreements your business or personal dealings rely on, from day-to-day commercial contracts to confidentiality and restraint agreements. We also check that you hold the licences and permits you need.
Buying, Selling and Research
Buying a business: we screen the opportunity, check the earnings that drive the price, find the liabilities that don't appear in the accounts, and structure, negotiate and complete the deal. Selling: we review your business before a buyer does, put your records and data room in order, and support a fair valuation. Research is also available on its own, from site and competitor analysis to market trends and growth strategy.
