How it works

Set up in a week. Sorted every month.

Our onboarding follows one simple checklist. After week one, the daily work takes almost no effort from you, and your report arrives on the same date every month.

Every day

Snap the slip. That’s your job done.

Send slips and invoices to our WhatsApp line or email. We match them to your bank feed and ask only when something is unclear.

  • Slips by WhatsApp or email
  • Questions batched, not drip-fed
  • Report on the same date every month

Week 1

Getting set up

A few short tasks

Sign the engagement letter and POPIA agreement

Our data processing agreement sets out what data we hold, why, who sees it and how long we keep it. We don't access any data before it's signed.

WhoYou sign, we file

Give us access to Xero or Sage

Invite us as an adviser or accountant user. No subscription yet? We set one up in your name. You stay the owner.

WhoYou

Connect your bank feeds

For every business bank and card account. We check that the first transactions come through.

WhoYou approve on your banking app; we set up

Set up receipt capture

Install the Xero or Sage app on your phone and save the Cashveld WhatsApp number for slips. We test it with one slip.

WhoWe show you (10 minutes)

Set up invoice templates

So all invoices go out from your software, with your logo, banking details and VAT number.

WhoUs

Capture opening balances

Bank, debtors, creditors, loans, VAT and SARS balances at the start date, from your last financial statements or SARS statements.

WhoUs

Agree the catch-up

How many past months still need capturing, and a target date. A large catch-up is quoted separately.

WhoUs and you

Agree your report date

When your monthly report arrives, and who receives it.

WhoUs and you

Every day

No effort from you

Part of your routine

Bank feeds

Transactions flow into Xero or Sage automatically. We code them.

Slips

Photograph a slip in the app, or send it to our WhatsApp number straight after paying. Nothing to file.

Invoices

Sent from your software only, so every sale is recorded and followed up.

3

Every month

Your pack, by the 5th

Due by the 5th

By the 3rd we send you a short list of unclear transactions. By the 5th, you send us for the previous month:

  • All bank and card statements, including any personal accounts that business money went through
  • Any slips and supplier invoices that weren't captured during the month
  • A list of cash received and cash paid out (date, amount, what for)
  • Wages and salaries paid (names, amounts and any deductions)
  • Your answers to our list of unclear transactions

We then close the month and send your report on the date we agreed.

Ongoing

Separate business from personal

Step by step

Director's loan account

Every personal payment from the business, and every business payment from your pocket, is recorded properly instead of getting lost.

A fixed owner's draw

One fixed amount you pay yourself each month, such as on the 25th. Anything outside it goes to the loan account and shows in your report.

Three bank accounts

Operating for day-to-day income and costs; tax reserve for an agreed share of income for VAT, provisional tax and PAYE; savings for a buffer and future spending.

A one-page report

What came in, what went out, what you took, and the cash left in each account.

5

End of month 1

The first check-in

15 to 30 minutes

We walk you through your first monthly report and check that everything is working:

  • Bank feeds all working and up to date
  • Receipt capture in use, with no big pile of missing slips
  • Your monthly pack received by the 5th
  • Owner's draw and separate accounts in place
  • Catch-up months on track for the agreed date

All client information is handled in line with POPIA and our data processing agreement. See our privacy notice.

Know your cash 13 weeks ahead.

Start with a free 15-minute cash-flow health check. We'll show you your cash gap in plain rand and give you a fixed monthly quote.
