HealthyBooks Get started

Books that balance. Deadlines that pass quietly.

HealthyBooks is an accounting practice in Pretoria. We look after VAT, payroll tax, provisional tax and company returns for small businesses, so SARS becomes something that’s handled rather than something you worry about.

What you stop worrying about

Every SARS obligation a small business has, looked after by people who reconcile before they file.

  • VAT that’s never a last-minute scramble

    We prepare and submit your VAT return every period from reconciled records, and tell you what to pay and by when.

    • VAT201
    • VAT registration

  • Payroll tax off your plate

    Monthly PAYE, UIF and SDL returns, the twice-yearly reconciliations, and your employees’ tax certificates.

    • EMP201
    • EMP501
    • IRP5

  • No surprise tax bills

    Provisional tax worked out from your real numbers, so each payment is planned rather than guessed.

    • IRP6

  • A company tax return you can stand behind

    Your annual company income tax return, prepared from books that already reconcile.

    • ITR14

  • Dividends paid out properly

    When you pay yourself a dividend, the dividends tax is withheld and declared correctly.

    • DTR01

  • Books that are always up to date

    Monthly bookkeeping and bank reconciliations, so you know where your business stands at any point in the year.

How it works

Four steps from signing up to never thinking about a SARS deadline again.

  1. Sign up online

    Create your account on our client portal and tell us about your business. Everything is done online, with nothing to print or post.

  2. We set things up with SARS

    You authorise us to act for you with SARS. We check what you’re registered for and whether anything is outstanding.

  3. Send documents from your phone

    Upload invoices, receipts and bank statements to the portal whenever it suits you. No email chains, no shoeboxes.

  4. We file ahead of every deadline

    Each return is tracked against its SARS due date and submitted before it. We tell you what to pay, and when.

A year in good health

This is a typical year for a small company with a February year-end, registered for VAT and with staff on payroll. That’s 23 returns and payments across twelve months, each one tracked and done before its date.

These are the usual SARS due dates. When one falls on a weekend or public holiday it moves to the last business day before it, and SARS can change dates. Your own calendar depends on what your business is registered for, and we work it out with you when you join.

Questions, answered plainly

Something else on your mind? Email {{EMAIL}}.

What happens when I press “Get started”?

You go to our secure client portal, which runs on a platform called Cadence. There you create your account, tell us about your business, upload a few documents so we can verify who we’re working with, and give the consents we need to act for you. From there, we take over.

Do I need to be set up on SARS eFiling already?

No. Part of getting started is checking your SARS registrations and getting us authorised to act for you. If something is missing, we’ll tell you exactly what’s needed.

I’m behind on returns. Can you still help?

Yes. We start by finding out exactly what’s outstanding, then agree a plan with you to bring everything up to date.

Can I move to you from my current accountant?

Yes, at any point in the year. We’ll ask for what we need to pick up where they left off, so nothing falls between the two of us.

How do I send you documents?

Through the client portal, from your phone or computer: a photo of a receipt, a PDF statement or an invoice. It keeps everything in one place instead of spread across email.

What does it cost?

See our packages. If your business doesn’t fit one neatly, email us and we’ll talk it through.

Where are you based?

In Pretoria. You’re welcome to visit, and most of our work with clients happens through the portal, email and phone.

Let’s get your books in good health.

Sign up online and we’ll take it from there: SARS set-up, your filing calendar, and every return after that.
