Where businesses get stuck
Most finance problems start as small administrative gaps
By the time they surface, they are usually deadlines, penalties or decisions made without current numbers.
- Records fall behind and nobody is sure which month is complete.
- Uncertainty about which SARS obligations apply and when they are due.
- Financial reports arrive late, or arrive without explanation.
- Payroll and employer submissions depend on one person remembering.
- No reliable view of cash: what is coming in, what is committed.
- The owner spends evenings on finance administration instead of the business.
What changes
Three things a working accounting function should give you
Stay compliant
A managed calendar for recurring accounting, tax and company obligations.
Understand your numbers
Clear reporting that shows what changed and what requires attention.
Get accountable support
A named contact, defined deliverables and a predictable service rhythm.
Services
Six areas of recurring support
Each service is scoped in writing, with deliverables and deadlines agreed before work starts.
Monthly Accounting & Bookkeeping
Reliable records maintained every month, reconciled and reviewed before reporting.
Tax & SARS Compliance
Returns prepared, reviewed and submitted with your approval, and SARS correspondence tracked.
Payroll & Employer Compliance
Payroll processed on an agreed cycle with employer submissions and employee documentation.
Company Secretarial & CIPC
Statutory filings and company records kept current at the CIPC.
Annual Financial Statements & Year-End
Year-end files prepared from reconciled records, with statements compiled to the applicable framework.
Advisory & Financial Management
Forecasting, budgets and KPI reporting built on records that can be relied on.
How it works
Four steps from first conversation to a monthly rhythm
01
Discovery
We review your current records, obligations and reporting needs, then set out what support is appropriate.
02
Onboarding and cleanup
Access is arranged, opening balances are verified, and any backlog is scoped and quoted separately.
03
Monthly processing and review
Transactions are processed and reconciled, then reviewed by someone other than the preparer.
04
Reporting and advice
Reports are issued, questions are answered, and actions are agreed with your named account lead.
Monthly packages
Three levels of monthly support
Each package has a starting fee for its defined scope. The final fee is confirmed after a short review of your records.

Common questions
Questions we are asked before the first meeting
Service-specific questions are answered on each service page.
How does switching accountants work?
We request your handover pack from the current accountant or from your own records: latest trial balance, prior-year statements, tax computations, payroll history, and access to your accounting file. We reconcile the opening balances before we start processing, and we confirm in writing what we have received and what is still outstanding.
What documents will Dandane require?
Bank, card and loan statements for the period, sales and purchase invoices, payroll inputs, and access to your accounting software. For compliance work we also need SARS and CIPC profile access or authorisation. The onboarding checklist sets out exactly what applies to your business.
Can Dandane work with businesses remotely?
Yes. Documents are exchanged through agreed cloud storage or your accounting platform, reviews happen by video call, and approvals are recorded in writing. We serve clients nationwide, across South Africa.
How are monthly fees determined?
Fees are quoted after we see the actual volume and condition of your records: transaction and bank-account count, VAT and payroll status, number of entities, reporting requirements, and how much historic cleanup is needed.
What happens if records are already behind?
Cleanup is scoped and quoted separately from the monthly fee. We agree the periods to be brought up to date, the order of work and the submissions affected, then move onto the standard monthly cycle once the backlog is cleared.
Ready for fewer compliance surprises?
Tell us where the pressure is. We will assess your current setup and recommend the appropriate level of support.
