1

Capturing and Categorising Transactions

Sorting receipts and logging every expense is time-consuming—and easy to get wrong. By outsourcing, you get accurate, up-to-date records that are correctly categorised for reporting and compliance.

 Errors here affect everything from tax returns to financial insights.

2

Bank Reconciliations

Matching your bank statements with your records may seem simple, but mistakes can lead to inaccurate reporting and missed fraud.

Outsourced accountants use automation and expert review to spot issues early and ensure your books are always aligned.

3

Debtor and Creditor Management

Chasing unpaid invoices or managing payments to suppliers takes time—and impacts cash flow.

Outsourcing this task means your payments are managed consistently, improving relationships and keeping your business financially healthy.

4

VAT Submissions and Compliance

VAT is one of the most common areas where SMEs slip up. Late submissions, miscalculations, or incorrect reporting can lead to penalties.

An outsourced expert will handle your VAT correctly and on time, keeping SARS happy and your business compliant.

5

Monthly Management Reports

Regular financial reports help you make informed decisions. But creating them takes skill and time you may not have.

Outsourced professionals generate accurate reports that show you exactly where your business stands—without the spreadsheet stress.

You don’t have to do it all yourself. Partnering with a trusted accounting team like SG&CO frees up your time, reduces risk, and gives you peace of mind that your financial admin is handled by experts.
