Monthly Sage Bookkeeping Retainer

I need a Cape Town-based bookkeeper who can slot straight into our workflow and keep three unrelated entities fully up to date in Sage. For a fixed retainer of R20,000 per month you will handle the core workload below; anything outside that scope is still welcome and will simply be billed on an hourly basis. Scope covered by the retainer • Capture every transaction daily and complete bank reconciliations by the third work-day of each new month. • Prepare and submit all VAT, payroll and other statutory returns accurately and on time through SARS e-Filing. • Compile monthly management accounts, cash-flow forecasts and any commentary we need for board packs by the seventh work-day. The books already live in Sage, so deep, hands-on Sage experience is essential. Familiarity with SARS, UIF, PAYE and SDL processes is equally. The team is Cape-Town based and would prefer someone local for the occasional face-to-face review, but most work can be done remotely. Clear communication, quick turnaround times and a proactive approach to queries will secure a long-term relationship. When you respond, please confirm your Sage proficiency, typical turnaround times for the tasks above, and your hourly rate for any overflow work. Budget: USD 15–25
