Accounting and tax for the Riebeek Valley

One accountant who answers his own phone. Eighteen years in the profession, six of them in this valley, looking after the farms, guesthouses and small businesses that keep it running.

What we take off your hands

Running a small business here means doing six jobs, and at least two of them involve SARS.

We handle the monthly bookkeeping, the returns, the payroll and the compliance filings — including the ones nobody told you existed — so that side of the business stops being something you think about.

Direct access: You phone, I answer. No account manager, no ticket number, no explaining your business again to somebody new.
Fixed monthly fee: Agreed before any work starts. No hourly billing and no invoice at year end that you didn't see coming.
Less manual processing: Bank feeds and receipt capture mean nobody is retyping your invoices by hand. Less processing time is a smaller bill and fewer errors to find later.
Systems that talk to each other: Booking platforms, point of sale, payroll and your bank, connected so your books largely build themselves. I've spent years implementing and integrating financial systems — it's a large part of what a financial manager does — and I'd rather set yours up properly once than bill you every month for the workaround.

I've sat on your side of the desk

Most accountants have only ever been accountants. Before this practice I was Financial Manager at a manufacturing business with around a hundred staff, and I took it through an acquisition by an international group — the due diligence, the disclosure schedules, and an acquirer's advisors working back through years of records looking for what we'd missed.

That's why I care about your fixed asset register more than you do. If you ever sell this business, or take on a partner, or apply for finance that matters, the state of your records three years beforehand decides what you get for it.
