Accounting, tax, payroll and compliance support for businesses that need control and clarity.
AccountWorx helps South African SMEs bring structure to their business administration, financial records, tax obligations, payroll responsibilities, statutory compliance and SARS matters — with clear service routes for each area of support.
Business compliance is not one task. It is a connected system of records, tax, payroll and statutory control.
AccountWorx supports South African business owners by helping them understand which part of their business administration needs attention — whether the issue sits in accounting records, tax compliance, payroll, CIPC records, SARS matters or broader compliance recovery.
Financial records
Bookkeeping, accounting records, management reporting and annual financial statement readiness.
Business tax
Company tax, provisional tax, VAT, PAYE and routine SARS tax compliance support.
Employer compliance
Payroll, payslips, PAYE, UIF, SDL, EMP201, EMP501 and IRP5 support.

This page is the business services hub — not a duplicate of the detailed service pages.
Each service area below links to a dedicated page where the scope, process and support options are explained in more detail.
Choose the right business support route. Each service area has a clear purpose and dedicated page.
The Business Services page helps route your enquiry to the correct AccountWorx support area. Whether the issue is records, tax, payroll, CIPC, SARS pressure or broader compliance recovery, the first step is choosing the right service path.
Business support works best when the moving parts connect.
Accounting, tax, payroll, statutory records and SARS compliance are connected. When one area falls behind, pressure often appears elsewhere in the business.
Accounting & Bookkeeping
Bookkeeping, accounting records, management reporting and annual financial statement readiness.

Not sure which service applies?
Send a short summary of the issue and we will help identify the correct AccountWorx service route.
Ask Which Service Applies →Start with the problem. Then choose the correct business support route.
Business owners often know something is not under control, but not always which service is needed. This guide helps direct the enquiry to the correct AccountWorx service page.
The right route saves time, cost and confusion.
If the issue is routine compliance, it should not be handled like a crisis. If SARS has already acted, it should not be treated as ordinary bookkeeping. Clear routing helps define scope from the start.
Your books are behind or reports are unclear.
Use Accounting & Bookkeeping when records, reconciliations, reporting or year-end readiness need structure.
Accounting & Bookkeeping →Tax deadlines are the issue but SARS has not escalated.
Use Business Tax Compliance for company tax, provisional tax, VAT, PAYE and routine SARS obligations.
Business Tax Compliance →SARS has already contacted you or penalties have appeared.
Use SARS Compliance Support for notices, verification requests, penalties, audits, debt or disputes.
SARS Compliance Support →Payroll is becoming risky or employer returns are due.
Use Payroll & Employer Compliance for payslips, PAYE, UIF, SDL, EMP201, EMP501 and IRP5 support.
Payroll Services →CIPC or statutory records are not current.
Use Statutory & CIPC Compliance for company changes, annual returns, beneficial ownership and registers.
Statutory & CIPC →The business feels overwhelmed and several areas are behind.
Use Business Compliance Rescue when accounting, tax, payroll, SARS or statutory issues need structured recovery.
Compliance Rescue →Choosing the correct route helps us quote and respond properly.
The more clearly the problem is classified, the easier it is to confirm scope, documents, pricing and next steps.
A clear process before work begins. No confusion about scope or next steps.
AccountWorx first identifies the correct service route, confirms the scope and then guides the work through a structured process.
Review
We assess the enquiry, current issue and available information.
Clarify
We confirm what service area applies and what documents are needed.
Prioritise
Urgent SARS, tax, payroll or statutory deadlines are identified first.
Implement
The agreed work is handled according to the confirmed service scope.
Maintain
Where needed, we help keep records and obligations under control.
Structured support starts with the correct service route.
This keeps the enquiry clear, prevents unnecessary work and helps confirm pricing before implementation.
Questions business owners often ask before choosing a service route.
The Business Services page is designed to help you understand where your business issue fits before moving to the detailed AccountWorx service pages.
Is this page a full service page or a service hub?
This is a service hub. It helps business owners identify the correct AccountWorx support route. The detailed service pages explain the full scope, process and support options for each area.
Which service should I choose if my bookkeeping is behind?
If the main issue is missing records, unreconciled accounts, poor reporting or year-end preparation, the best starting point is Accounting & Bookkeeping.
Which service applies if tax deadlines are the issue?
If SARS has not already escalated the matter and the issue is routine company tax, provisional tax, VAT, PAYE or SARS registrations, the correct route is Business Tax Compliance.
What if SARS has already issued a notice or penalty?
SARS notices, verification requests, penalties, audits, debt matters, disputes and compliance status problems should be routed to SARS Compliance Support rather than routine business tax compliance.
Do you help with payroll and employer compliance?
Yes. Payroll and Employer Compliance covers payslips, payroll administration, PAYE, UIF, SDL, EMP201, EMP501 and IRP5 support where the service scope has been agreed.
Do you handle CIPC and statutory compliance?
Yes. Statutory & CIPC Compliance covers company registration support, company changes, CIPC annual returns, beneficial ownership support and statutory record maintenance.
When should I use Business Compliance Rescue?
Business Compliance Rescue is used when several areas are behind or unclear, such as accounting, tax, payroll, SARS, CIPC or statutory records. It helps review, prioritise and structure a recovery plan.
Can AccountWorx tell me which service applies?
Yes. Send a short summary of the issue and we can help identify whether the matter should be handled under accounting, business tax, payroll, statutory compliance, SARS support or compliance rescue.
