When to speak to us
- Your bookkeeping or reconciliations have fallen behind.
- You need timely management accounts and a clearer picture of cash flow and profitability.
- Your business must report to shareholders, a group head office, auditors or funders.
What we can do for you
Accounting and bookkeeping support
We help maintain accounting records and organise the supporting information behind them. The scope can complement your existing finance team or address a defined capacity gap.
What you receive
More organised records and an agreed routine for financial reporting.
Management accounts and reporting packs

What you receive
Management accounts or reporting packs at the frequency agreed with you.
Reconciliations and accounting clean-up
We work through unreconciled balances, incomplete records and accounting backlogs, identifying missing support and adjustments for management’s review.
What you receive
Reconciliation schedules, identified exceptions and a practical list of matters still to resolve.
Financial statements and year-end preparation
We support financial statement preparation and organise schedules and evidence for the year-end process, with roles agreed between management and the relevant service providers.
What you receive
Financial statement preparation support and a better organised year-end file.
Programme finance and expenditure reporting
We assist funded programmes with expenditure records, funds flow, reconciliations and reporting evidence. The work is scoped to the programme’s reporting needs.
What you receive
Expenditure reports and supporting audit trails for management and funders.
Local understanding. Cross-border coordination.
A South African business reporting to an overseas parent needs consistent information and a clear timetable. We can discuss reporting-pack requirements, information needed for group reporting and coordination with relevant HLB member firms where local input is required.
Start with your needs
Tell us which accounting system you use, what reporting you need, whether there is a backlog and where your finance team needs support. Include any group reporting deadlines.
We discuss your requirements, confirm the team and agree the scope, responsibilities, deliverables, timing and fees before work starts.
Management approves accounting decisions and remains responsible for its records and financial statements. Where we also provide assurance services, we assess independence before accepting related support.
