Annual Financial Statements for small and medium-sized companies

Accurate, compliant financial statements that SARS, banks and tender bodies will accept — even when your only records are your bank statements.

Financial statements, without the stress

Many small businesses only keep bank statements — and that is perfectly fine. We take your bank statements and supporting documents, allocate every transaction, build your trial balance and prepare a full set of annual financial statements that are accurate and compliant with all institutions like SARS and Banks.

What you will need to send us

  • Bank statements for the full financial year (PDF from your bank is fine)
  • Last year's financial statements, if you have them
  • Invoices or agreements for large purchases such as vehicles and equipment
  • Loan statements and any asset finance agreements
  • Details of amounts owed to you, and amounts you owe, at year-end

Everything can be sent by email or WhatsApp — there is no need to visit an office.

Why your financial statements matter

  • SARS: companies need financial statements to complete the annual income tax return (ITR14).
  • CIPC: annual returns require either a Financial Accountability Supplement or financial statements.
  • Banks and finance houses: loan, overdraft and vehicle-finance applications usually ask for recent financial statements.
  • Tenders and CIDB upgrades: financial statements help show your financial capability when applying for higher CIDB grades.

Close corporations and accounting officer reports

Close corporations need an accounting officer's report with their annual financial statements. Our practice is headed by a member of the ACCA, one of the professional bodies whose members may act as accounting officers. Read who can be an accounting officer in South Africa.

If your company is required to have an independent review or an audit, we will tell you upfront during your free consultation so there are no surprises.

Frequently asked questions

Can you prepare financial statements from bank statements only?

Yes. Most of our small-business clients' only records are their bank statements. We allocate the transactions, ask you about anything unclear and prepare the financial statements from there.

How long does it take?

It depends on how complete your records are. Once we have your bank statements and answers to our questions, we keep you updated at every step until the statements are ready.

Do you also submit the company income tax return?

Yes. We can complete and submit your company's ITR14 to SARS using the financial statements we prepare.

How much do annual financial statements cost?

Pricing depends on the size and number of transactions. Small-company financial statements start from R4 500. Book a free 15-minute consultation for a quote.
