— SOUND FAMILIAR?

Stop doing your books at midnight.

If you’re an entrepreneur, start-up or small business owner, you didn’t go into business to do your own books – and mistakes cost you money. SARS won’t wait.

  • Bank statements piling up and deadlines looming
  • Not sure your numbers are actually right
  • Missing SARS submissions or unsure about compliance
  • Spending evenings on admin instead of growing your business
  • Need professional reporting but can’t afford a full-time bookkeeper
Let’s fix that

Everything your books need are taken care of.

Frequently Asked Questions

Remote bookkeeping is done using cloud accounting software, which the client can access from anywhere. I meet with the clients using Microsoft Teams or Google Meet for initial consultation, staying in touch via WhatsApp, phone, or email and securely sharing documents through Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive so your monthly books can be handled from anywhere.

Counting Cents specialises in Sage Pastel Accounting and can work directly within your existing Sage environment or set one up for you. If you prefer using QuickBooks Online and already have it set-up, I can work with QuickBooks as well.

I primarily serve South African entrepreneurs, start-ups, small businesses across all industries.
