Startups and established small businesses alike need accounting officers and bookkeepers to develop and maintain their accounting procedures, manage their accounts and keep proper accounting records, both to comply with relevant legislation and to ensure a thriving business.
With many small business owners already having made the jump from traditional to online banking, it makes sense to offer business owners online accounting services. That’s exactly what UK-based online accounting firm, Crunch, is doing, with great success.
How does Crunch work?
Crunch provides a 360 degree accounting service for small business owners, freelancers and contractors, for a monthly fee. This flat rate includes accounting software, a dedicated account manager and accountant on standby. Services include ensuring companies are compliant with legislation, sorting business registration, VAT and company tax issues and completing and filing annual returns. Then, there are the add-on options…having Crunch take care of your personal income tax and handling your employee payroll. And all this, through a cost-effective, easy-to-use, secure online system.
Who is doing something similar for South African small business owners, freelancers and independent contractors, you ask? Unfortunately, not many service providers have cottoned on to this bright idea yet, so this may be your opportunity to establish a unique accounting startup in South Africa…
