Scope Boundaries & SLA Turnaround Standards
To maintain deliverable quality and transparency, our engagements work to the following typical turnaround targets, agreed per engagement and counted from receipt of complete client records:
- • Standard projects (typically 3–5 business days): business plans, financial models, and catch-up work per year of backlog, upon receipt of complete client records.
- • Transaction Volume Adjustments: For monthly bookkeeping retainers, if your transaction volume grows beyond the agreed tier for two consecutive months, we notify you in advance and adjust the retainer to the next volume bracket with zero retroactive billing.
Rather just ask?
Talk to the desk directly, or send the details and we will price it for you. Your information stays confidential and is handled under POPIA.
How our fees work
Is the estimate binding?
The estimator gives you a realistic ballpark based on published starting prices. Your formal quote is confirmed after a short scoping call where we establish exact scope — and it is a fixed fee, not an hourly meter.
What does "fixed monthly fee" include for bookkeeping?
Transaction processing, bank reconciliations, month-end close and your management pack at an agreed monthly transaction volume. If volume grows materially, we resize the retainer together before it happens.
Are there hidden costs?
No. Statutory third-party fees (CIPC filing fees, SARS registrations) are billed at cost and always shown before we file anything. Software subscriptions are quoted separately so you see exactly what is ours versus the vendor’s.
How do I get an exact quote?
Build your estimate here, then submit it — it arrives with your service selections intact and we respond with a firm, fixed proposal.
