Services

Three pillars. Specifically.

A South African accounting firm for owner-managed and small businesses — Sage One, Xero and QuickBooks accounting, VAT registration, CIPC annual returns, SARS tax work, advisory and AI workflow implementation.

Accounting Connect is led by Brandon Iverach, a Professional Accountant (SA) and member of the South African Institute of Professional Accountants (SAIPA), membership 18504, and a registered SARS tax practitioner (PR-0025122). The practice is based in Oudtshoorn, Western Cape. For most small businesses the accountant, the tax consultant and the bookkeeper should be the same person. Here they are — the three pillars below carry all of it.

Pillar 01

Accounting

  • Sage One accountant — cloud bookkeeping setup, monthly processing and review
  • Xero and QuickBooks bookkeeping
  • Monthly management accounts
  • Annual financial statements, CIPC annual returns, beneficial-ownership filings, and the company secretarial work that keeps the entity in good standing.
  • VAT registration (South Africa) and monthly/bi-monthly VAT201 returns
  • Payroll: EMP201, EMP501, IRP5s
  • Provisional tax (IRP6)
  • Company tax returns (ITR14)
  • Personal tax returns (ITR12)
  • Crypto asset tax — 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. Disposal history reconstructed from exchange and wallet records; mining, staking and airdrop income treated correctly. Gains assessed as revenue or capital on the facts.
  • Tax emigration and expat tax — ceasing South African tax residency, the RAV01 declaration, the section 9H deemed disposal, foreign employment income, and the SARS tax clearance needed to transfer funds abroad.
  • SARS disputes, objections, audits

Pillar 02

Advisory

  • Quarterly business reviews
  • Structuring — companies, trusts, holding structures
  • Cash-flow planning and forecasting
  • Property accounting and advisory
  • Trust accounting and administration
  • Tax planning (corporate and personal)

Pillar 03

AI Implementation

  • Supplier-invoice automation (capture, code, route, post)
  • Document intake and routing
  • Bank reconciliation acceleration
  • AI-assisted management reporting
  • Workflow automation across Sage, Xero, banking, and document systems
  • AI readiness assessments — auditing processes, data, and tools to identify and prioritise automation candidates
  • Workflow design and process redesign — before automating, redesigning the underlying process so you don't automate broken work
  • Custom internal tools — purpose-built calculators, dashboards, and lookup tools for specific client workflows
  • AI training and adoption support — helping client teams use Claude, ChatGPT, and similar tools well in their own work

Not in-house

Arranged with specialists we work with

  • Employment equity — EEA2 and EEA4 reporting to the Department of Employment and Labour, prepared and submitted by the employment specialists we work with, off the payroll data we already maintain.
  • Immigration and visas — we do not handle visa or permit applications. Where a client is emigrating we handle the tax side and work alongside an immigration specialist who handles the application.
