Straight answers about how we work, what we cover, and how to start.

01 · The basics

Everything you might ask.

Where is Accounting Connect based and who do you work with?

Accounting Connect (Pty) Ltd is a South African accounting practice based in Oudtshoorn, Western Cape, founded in 2018 by Brandon Iverach, Professional Accountant (SA), and Willemien Nel. We work with owner-managed businesses, professional practices, property holders and trusts across South Africa — most engagements are run remotely on cloud accounting.

What services do you offer?

Three pillars: Accounting (Sage One, Xero and QuickBooks bookkeeping, VAT201, EMP201/EMP501, IRP6, ITR14, ITR12, CIPC annual returns, annual financial statements), Advisory (quarterly business reviews, structuring, cash-flow planning, property and trust advisory, tax planning), and AI Implementation (supplier-invoice automation, bank reconciliation acceleration, document routing, AI-assisted management reporting, custom internal tools).

Are you a registered accounting firm in South Africa?

Yes. Accounting Connect (Pty) Ltd is registered with CIPC under company number 2018/528820/07 and has traded since 2018. Brandon Iverach is a Professional Accountant (SA) registered with SAIPA and a Registered Professional Tax Practitioner.

Do you handle SARS and CIPC compliance?

Yes — VAT registration and VAT201 returns, payroll taxes (EMP201, EMP501, IRP5s), provisional tax (IRP6), company tax (ITR14), personal tax (ITR12), CIPC annual returns, plus SARS disputes, objections and audits.

Do you handle crypto asset tax?

Yes. SARS treats crypto as an asset, not a currency, so every disposal is a taxable event, including a swap from one crypto asset to another where no rand ever changes hands. We reconstruct the disposal history from exchange and wallet records, and treat mining, staking and airdrop income correctly. Gains are assessed as revenue or capital on the facts.

What accounting software do you use?

Sage Business Cloud Accounting (Sage One) is our core platform. We also work in Xero and QuickBooks Online for clients already on those systems.

What does AI implementation mean for an accounting client?

Practical workflow automation inside the business — capturing supplier invoices automatically, routing documents, accelerating bank reconciliations, generating management report drafts, and building purpose-built internal tools. Production systems integrated with Sage, Xero, banking and document stores — not pilots or chatbots.

How do I start working with Accounting Connect?

Get in touch via the contact page or email info@accountingconnect.ai. We begin with a short fit call, then a written plan covering scope, timing and fees before any work starts.

Is accountingconnect.net the same firm?

No. The official websites for Accounting Connect (Pty) Ltd are accountingconnect.ai and accountingconnect.co.za. The domain accountingconnect.net is not affiliated with, operated by, or connected to Accounting Connect (Pty) Ltd or Brandon Iverach in any way.
