Our services

Everything from the first entry to the final statement

From your very first transaction to your signed Annual Financial Statements, we've got every stage covered — so nothing slips through the cracks.

01 — Foundation

Bookkeeping

Accurate, consistent processing of your day-to-day transactions, reconciled and kept current. Clean books are the basis for reliable reporting and a smooth year-end.

  • Transaction processing and capturing
  • Bank and account reconciliations
  • Maintained in Sage, Xero or QuickBooks
  • Organised records ready for review
02 — Insight

Management Accounts

Monthly management accounts produced directly from your trial balance, giving directors, trustees and governing bodies a clear, current view of performance.

  • Prepared from the monthly trial balance
  • Income statement and balance sheet
  • Figures grounded in actual records
  • A dependable basis for decisions
03 — Compliance

Tax & SARS

Registered as a tax practitioner, CM4 manages your tax obligations and SARS interactions directly through e-Filing — keeping you compliant and on time.

  • SARS e-Filing submissions
  • Tax compliance and registrations
  • Liaison with SARS on your behalf
  • Deadlines tracked and met
04 — Year-end

Annual Financial Statements

Year-end Annual Financial Statements compiled from your records in line with the applicable financial reporting framework — ready for the board or trustees to approve and for submission to SARS.

  • Compiled from the year's records
  • Compilation engagement — preparation, not assurance
  • Ready for boards, trustees and SARS
  • A clean close to the financial year

Annual Financial Statements are prepared as a compilation engagement (ISRS 4410). A compilation does not constitute an audit or review, and no assurance is expressed on the statements.
