Bookkeeping FAQs

What is the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?

Bookkeeping is the systematic recording and organising of daily financial transactions — including sales, purchases, receipts, and payments. Accounting takes that recorded data and interprets it to produce financial statements, tax returns, and strategic insights. In practice, a bookkeeper captures the data while an accountant analyses it. Most small businesses in South Africa need both: accurate bookkeeping as the foundation, and professional accounting for compliance and decision-making.

How much does bookkeeping cost in South Africa?

Bookkeeping fees in South Africa depend on the volume of transactions, whether the business is VAT-registered, and the complexity of the chart of accounts. For a small business processing fewer than 100 transactions per month, fees typically range from R1,500 to R4,000 per month. VAT-registered businesses and those with multiple bank accounts or foreign currency transactions can expect higher fees. Our packages are transparent and all-inclusive — no hidden costs for bank reconciliations or monthly reports.

What software do South African bookkeepers use?

The most widely used bookkeeping software in South Africa includes Xero, Sage Business Cloud Accounting (formerly Sage One), QuickBooks Online, and Dext (formerly Receipt Bank) for automated receipt capture. These cloud-based platforms allow real-time collaboration between business owners and their bookkeepers, automatic bank feeds from major South African banks, and SARS-ready reporting. Our team is proficient across all major platforms and can recommend the best fit for your business needs and budget.
