Professional Bookkeeping Services in Cape Town
Let us assume you landed on this page because you needed a bookkeeper in Milnerton. Or Blouberg. Or wherever you find yourself in the Western Cape. Ask yourself: Am I drowning in possible candidates that can take care of my bookkeeping function? Who do I choose?
Who do you trust with your bookkeeping function?
When you entrust your financial matters to anyone, it needs to be with someone who will be around indefinitely and who won’t be afraid to engage with you to rectify shortfalls. You need someone who is not afraid to have frank discussions. Maybe you require confidentiality. Perhaps you also don’t need someone who takes shortcuts and who can expose you to audits. You need someone with the experience and know-how to make the decisions required to keep you safe from SARS.
AGBS is that bookkeeping service provider – and we service the entire Cape Town and surrounding areas.
What is the difference between Bookkeeping and Accounting?
Let us be 100% clear. Often, accountants do not draw a line between bookkeeping and accounting services. And it is a real shame. There is a tangible divide.
Bookkeeping is essentially the first step in the entire accounting process. It is the mechanism by which we record your day-to-day transactions from your bank statements, filed invoices, etc. Only experienced bookkeepers will have the know-how to ask the right questions up front to ensure that the correct source documents are sourced in the beginning. We do the work right the first time.
Accounting is how we make sense of the work done during the bookkeeping process. We extrapolate figures, summarize them, allocate them to their correct groups, and ultimately end up with financial statements. We do this as well, but this is not what this page is about.
How frequently would you need a bookkeeping service?
This is completely dependent on your need for permanent tax compliance, tax registrations with SARS, and your own involvement in recordkeeping and tracking of income and expenses.
Information Required
You secure your bank statements, sales, and expense invoices, and when we receive them, we start the process of recordkeeping. This process takes between 3 and 10 hours every month (on average), and the time spent is linked to the number of transactions that need to be captured.
One of our most comprehensive services is our Bookkeeping Service for Small Businesses. It’s our way of creating the divide between bookkeeping and accounting, while keeping the bookkeeping discounted and not connected at all to our accounting service fees.
Will bookkeeping fees be expensive?
For the value-added service you will be receiving from AGBS our bookkeeping rates will be hard to beat. The reason most of our clients has been with us for so long is because they are paying us at least 50% less than what they would need to pay a moderately experienced bookkeeper on their payroll.
If you are looking for a bookkeeper in Cape Town, or an accountant in Milnerton, you can stop searching.
Not only do we provide the most cost-effective bookkeeping service around, but we add value to every aspect, whether it is accountancy services, payroll services, and/or tax services.
Payroll Service Cape Town
With a growing business you may have the need to employ some people in the future. Or maybe you already have, but the monthly payroll service requirements have become a time drain on you.
As part of our monthly bookkeeping service we can also attach a payroll function to it for a reduced fee.
