Bookkeeping services South Africa

Bookkeeping support for South African small businesses

Keep receipts, bank transactions, income and expenses organised in one workspace. Use eScripts to maintain your own records throughout the year, then request separately scoped bookkeeping clean-up or professional support when you need hands-on help.

eScripts

South Africa-first financial record workspace

Capture expenses and receipts as the month happens

Import supported PDF or CSV bank statements and review every line

Keep business records separate from personal tax records

Move from everyday records into core reports and full Financials when your business grows

eScripts helps you organise and review your own records. Tax estimates, automated suggestions and document extraction remain subject to your review.

What you can do

Keep the work organised before it becomes year-end pressure.

Receipts & source documents

Scan receipts, upload supporting documents and keep evidence attached to the right tax year and business workspace.

Bank transaction review

Import supported bank statements and review transactions before deciding what becomes income, an expense or is ignored.

Income & expense records

Keep the everyday numbers behind the business organised instead of rebuilding them from statements at year-end.

Business workspace

Manage clients, quotations, invoices, VAT-related tools, banking and mileage separately from your personal records.

Financial reporting path

Use core Business reports, then upgrade to the full Financials accounting engine when you need ledger, reconciliation and AFS workflows.

Professional clean-up support

Request separately priced bookkeeping clean-up when records need hands-on review before tax, reporting or financial-statement work.

Bookkeeping software and professional bookkeeping are not the same thing

eScripts gives you the software and workflow to keep business records organised yourself: receipts, expenses, income, bank statement imports, business mileage, client records, quotations and invoices.

When the records need hands-on clean-up, correction or professional preparation, you can request a separately scoped bookkeeping service. The scope and fee are confirmed before that professional work starts.

  • Software subscription for ongoing record organisation
  • Separately scoped professional bookkeeping clean-up when required
  • Clear hand-off from day-to-day records into reports or Financials
  • Your imported and scanned data remains subject to your review

A better monthly bookkeeping routine starts with source records

A useful bookkeeping process is easier when the supporting evidence is already organised. Instead of waiting for year-end, capture receipts, upload documents and review bank transactions as they happen.

That creates a cleaner trail between the transaction, the supporting document and the business purpose, which makes later reporting and professional review more efficient.

  • Receipts and invoices kept with the relevant records
  • Bank lines reviewed instead of blindly auto-posted
  • Business and personal items separated
  • Mileage and client records kept alongside financial activity

From bookkeeping records to business financials

The Business plan gives small businesses a practical workspace plus core financial reporting. The Financials plan adds double-entry accounting, bank reconciliation, schedules, year-end controls, AFS/PIS readiness and professional collaboration.

This means you can start with everyday record keeping and move into more formal accounting without abandoning the source records that created the numbers.

  • Financial Dashboard, Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet
  • Cash Flow, Trial Balance and General Ledger reports
  • Double-entry ledger and bank reconciliation in Financials
  • AFS readiness and professional collaboration in Financials

Frequently asked questions

Questions people search before they start.

Does the eScripts subscription include a bookkeeper?

No. The subscription provides the software and workflows. Hands-on bookkeeping clean-up or other professional services are separately scoped and priced before work starts.

Can I use eScripts for monthly bookkeeping records?

Yes. You can capture receipts, expenses, income, documents and bank statement transactions throughout the year, then keep those records organised by tax year and business workspace.

Can eScripts import my bank statements?

Yes, supported PDF and CSV bank statements can be imported. You review the imported lines and decide what they mean before they are saved to your records.

Does eScripts automatically decide which expenses are tax deductible?

No. eScripts helps organise records and can provide assistive suggestions, but it does not automatically decide that an expense is deductible. You remain responsible for reviewing classifications and tax treatment.

What if my records are already behind?

You can first upload and organise the records you already have, then request separately scoped bookkeeping clean-up if you want professional help bringing the records up to date.

Your records stay yours

Start with the records you already have.

Create your eScripts account, organise the current tax year and upgrade only when you need more history, automation or business financial tools.
