Bookkeeping & HR · Silverton, Pretoria
Real support, real talk. No surprise invoices, no corporate distance. Pretoria's working businesses deserve a qualified accountant in their corner - and it costs less than most people think.
First conversation is free. No obligation, no pressure.
"Most small businesses spend less per month on their books than they spend on phone data."
The cost assumption is usually what stops people from calling. Let's talk about what actually makes sense for your situation.
What I do
Whether you're starting from scratch or buried in backlog - there's no situation I haven't worked through, and no judgment about how you got there.
Whether you're starting fresh or catching up on months of chaos - I'll get your finances properly in order, with reports you can actually use to run your business.
If you have people working for you, a handshake arrangement isn't enough. I'll get the HR side properly structured - at a rate that makes sense for a business your size.
Who this is for
These are the situations I work through most weeks. If any of these land, it's worth a conversation.
"I'll sort the books when things slow down."
They never slow down. A 6-month backlog is far easier to fix now than a 2-year one during a SARS review. Starting is the hard part - the rest is manageable.
"I'm not sure if I should be VAT registered."
This is one of the most common questions I get. The answer depends on your turnover - and the penalties for getting it wrong can escalate quickly. Let's find out where you stand.
"My staff are casual - do I still need contracts?"
Yes. South African labour law applies regardless of how the arrangement is described. A proper contract protects you and your worker if anything goes sideways.
"There's a SARS letter I've been avoiding."
The longer it sits, the more complicated it becomes. Most SARS correspondence is manageable when addressed early. Let's open it together and figure out the next step.
I've watched small businesses get ignored by the financial industry for years. That's why I started - so good guidance isn't only available to the big players.

Who I am
I've spent my career across accounting, financial management, and HR - working in mining, manufacturing, and business operations across South Africa. The difference between a business that struggles and one that thrives often comes down to whether someone is watching the numbers. That's what I'm here for.
I hold a B.Compt from UNISA, an ICBA Senior Bookkeeper certification, and an HR Diploma. But what matters most is that I understand what it's like to run a business where every rand counts - and I work accordingly.
No obligation. No pressure. Walk away from the first call knowing exactly where you stand and what it would take to fix it.
