What changes

We take the slips, the reconciling, the chasing and the VAT201 prep off your desk, and send you one clear page every month.

  • Books reconciled every month
  • Late payers followed up politely
  • Cash forecast 13 weeks ahead

  • One-page monthly report: what came in, what went out, what you took and the cash left in each account
  • Monthly management accounts (Growth and CFO)
  • One-page cash dashboard
  • Mawlera dashboard (Growth and CFO)

13-week forecast and debtor chasing

See the dip before it arrives. A rolling 13-week view of the cash coming in and going out, updated every month, so you can act weeks ahead instead of the day before payroll. We follow up overdue invoices so you don't have to.

  • Rolling 13-week cash-flow forecast (Growth and CFO)
  • Your lowest cash point flagged early
  • Overdue invoices followed up for you
  • Invoices sent from your software, so nothing slips

Business money, separated from personal

Fix the mixed-money habit, gently. Many owners pay personal costs from the business account, or business costs from their own pocket. We help you fix that step by step, so nothing gets lost or treated as an expense by mistake.

  • A director's loan account so every personal payment is recorded properly
  • A fixed monthly owner's draw, with anything outside it shown in your report
  • Separate accounts for operating, tax reserve (VAT, provisional tax and PAYE) and savings

Who we're for

VAT-registered South African businesses with a turnover of roughly R2.3 million to R20 million a year. The compulsory VAT registration threshold is R2.3 million from 1 April 2026, so every business in this band is a VAT vendor with enough transactions to need monthly accounts.

We're starting with service businesses in Cape Town.

What we don't do (yet)

  • Submitting tax returns. We prepare your VAT201. Submitting returns for clients needs a registered tax practitioner. Until we're registered, you or a partner practitioner submits.
  • Payroll. Not part of our current service.
  • Lending or financial advice. We don't lend, and we don't give financial advice. Any future working-capital offering would come only through licensed partners.

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.
