From The Desk - Sandton, South Africa.

Did you know that a majority of accountants around the world have admitted that their clients are becoming much more demanding with their accounting requirements?

Also, business owners have come to expect more flexibility from their accountants without needing to pay high retainer fees.

Does that sound familiar?

With all the tools and expertise modern accountants have access to, it would be counterintuitive for them to not be able to offer more to their clients, right?

What’s the point of paying an accountant to do your books if they can’t even get you lower levies?

Or save your business some good money by streamlining your financial processes?

As a business owner, the name of the game is to get the most value for your money… so why pay an accountant who doesn’t go above and beyond to give you the insights and expertise needed to sustainably grow your business?

You’d think this kind of competence is standard for most accounting companies… the sad truth though is that it isn’t.

The problem comes in when an accounting company can’t meet a client’s demands, either because they don’t have the resources or capacity,

Or because they’re just not qualified enough to give you the world-class accounting that your business needs to succeed.

In many cases, business owners have to beg their accountants to give them the data they need about their finances.

They struggle to get the insights they need that apply to their businesses, insights that will help them make sound financial decisions.

Now, we don’t blame accountants who can’t deliver on that level of quality… not every firm can say that 98% of their clients rate them highly…

Even though some accountants out there may be qualified to crunch your numbers,

The reality is that not all of them have your best interests at heart, 356 days a year.

Not all of them see you as a business partner, rather than just another client.

And not all of them have a track record of success that speaks for itself.

On the flip side of the coin though, if you, in all honesty, think that your accountants are doing the most for your business, then,

A) We wouldn’t be having this conversation right now… and,

B) If asked the following questions, you’d be able to answer them without getting frustrated…

Go ahead… ask yourself👇

🎯 Are you actually making a real profit?

🎯 What are your expenses? And how can you reduce them?

🎯 Are you growing profitably, or are you on your way to financial troubles in a few months?

🎯 How much money do your customers owe you? (I’m sure there are a couple of missing payments here and there that you haven’t even noticed yet).

🎯 How much money do you owe?

🎯 How much tax do you need to pay? (If your current accounting system isn’t actively working to save you money in this area, you’re potentially losing millions down the road).

🎯 What about tracking and issuing payroll?

And if you had even a glimmer of frustration answering them, then it means your accountants are letting you down.

When it comes to building and scaling an awesome business like yours, you can’t afford that kind of dead weight.

Let’s be honest here, what you really want:

💡 IS A PARTNER WHO YOU CAN TRUST TO HELP GROW YOUR BUSINESS WITH WORLD-CLASS ACCOUNTING & BOOKKEEPING

💡 IS THE TIME AND FREEDOM TO PUT MORE INTO BUILDING YOUR BUSINESS, AS OPPOSED TO WORRYING ABOUT RECURRING DAY-TO-DAYS THAT DO LITTLE TO HELP YOU SCALE

💡 IS ACCURATE FINANCIAL ADIVCE AND INSIGHTS DELIVERED TO YOU ON TIME SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE THE BEST FINANCIAL DECISIONS FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Unfortunately for you, finding a partner in accounting that can do that for you is damn near impossible.

You’ve tried, and you’re tired.

That’s actually great news,

Only because the relief you’re about to feel in the next 10 minutes will be well worth the time you’ve spent searching for The Beancounter.

And definitely worth the time and money we’ve spent looking for you.

We’re breaking the stigma & restoring your faith in accounting.

a s board img

There’s this age-old stigma that accountants are nothing more than number crunchers for your business… sure, we crunch the numbers, but there’s more to it than meets the eye.

Yes, we manage the upkeep of your business’s financial records, file returns with SARS, and handle other compliance-related institutions,

But thanks to the technology available to us, we have gotten so efficient at automating most of the traditional number-crunching activities,

Thus freeing up loads of time for us to be your business partners and not just another client of ours.

Unfortunately, many accounting companies out there can’t say they’ve done the same, and continue to give accounting a bad name.

They make rookie mistakes, and allow you to make errors that they know could sink your business.

Silly errors too, like:

🤦‍♂️ Failing to Reconcile Your Books with Your Bank Statements

🤦‍♂️ Not Separating Your Personal and Business Finances

🤦‍♂️ Assuming Profit Means Cash Flow

🤦‍♂️ Not Tracking All Your Expenses

Let’s take a quick look at how The Beancounter can fit into your business:

✔️ Cash flow is one of the toughest things to manage within any business; having the right partners to manage yours can make all the difference in your business’s growth. We are pretty great at preparing cash flow projections, budgets, and forecasts as and when needed.

✔️ Need advice on how to cut back on certain costs, costs that are not needed nor relevant in aiding your business growth? No problem. We have a great knack for finding the deadweight costs of any business… in other words, we can save you a lot of money while also increasing your profits.

✔️ Taxes got you down? Here at The Beancounter, we love chowing taxes for breakfast. We have an incredibly unique skill set when it comes to helping you get the most out of your business’s and personal taxes.

✔️ We are also really great at managing certain admin aspects of your business, such as company detail changes at CIPC, any registrations you need for the various financial compliance institutions, as well as a lot more. We mean it when we say we’re your business partners.

✔️ Any accountant worth their value can strategise with you on a business level, giving you advice on new business opportunities, as well as covering costings of any sort, asking important questions like “are you handling your debtors as efficiently as possible”, advising you on how and when to obtain finance and how this will impact your business, and a lot LOT more!

Going above and beyond to deliver accurate financial insights on time

Think about the last time you had a chat with your accountant…

How did it go?

Did you get all the info you needed out of the conversation?

Was there anything you needed that they didn’t quite give you as accurately as you needed it to be?

Let’s be honest for a second…

If you didn’t continue scrolling down this page after after the first 2 questions above,

Then the odds are that:

🤕 Your interactions with your accountants aren’t very producitive or time effecient.

🤕 You don’t always get the information you need from your accountants to help you make sound business and financial decisions.

🤕 You have to contantly chase your accountants to get the info you need, rather than have peace of mind knowing they’ll get your insights to you on time, every time.

🤕 When you do eventually get the information you need, it’s not always contextual to where your business is right now and where it needs to be in the future.

The truth is that many accountants don’t go above and beyond to give you the info, insights, and advice you need to make the best decisions for your business.

They often skim past seemingly minor details that could make all the difference, or linger on insights that you really don’t need to know about.

They’re not in for your business, they’re just in it for the paycheque.

With The Beancounter, there’s a light at the end of that wretched tunnel.

We’re so confident in our ability to give you accurate insights on time that:

If we don't deliver accurate financial information on time, we won't charge you the next month's retainer

But, how exactly can The Beancounter help save my business?

a s stats img

Meet Kate and Bennie.

They’re both really good at what they do.

They have 7-figure businesses and employ around a dozen people full-time.

Also, they’re both good friends of mine, which means we keep tabs on each other every now and then.

Kate decided to try out our revamped payroll service… and when she realised how much time and money she’d saved with The Beancounter, she said “Waldo, take my money right now and handle all my accounting.”

Bennie on the other hand decided to brave it on his own by handling his business’s accounting himself, and only outsourcing certain things that he didn’t understand.

About a year after Kate signed on with The Beancounter, the 3 of us met up for lunch one day and eventually started talking shop.

Bennie started off by asking me a few questions about Xero, a cloud accounting software for smart business owners.

After obliging him, he couldn’t help but offload all his problems on me…

🤕 There’s only so much I can do by myself on Xero. Sure, my accountant helps with all the complicated stuff, but doing things on my own has affected other parts of my business.

🤕 For example, sales have declined because I haven’t been able to live up to my guarantees.

🤕 My marketing is in the pits this quarter because I missed a ‘zero’ on the last marketing budget allocation.

🤕 And now, because I’m spending so much time at work trying to keep everything afloat, my wife and kids are frustrated that I can’t free any time to spend with them.

🤕 And, I never have any time for myself… you know? Even on weekends, it’s either I’m working, eating, or sleeping. This isn’t healthy.

🤕 If that’s not bad enough, I have to constantly beg my accountants to give me the financial insights I need to make the right decisions for my business.

🤕 When I eventually do get the information I need, it’s never as accurate as it needs to be. I’m so tired of this… I’m over it.

Kate and I shared a look of bemusement, not because we’re cruel, but because she was in THE EXACT same situation as Bennie was in.

She took out her phone and showed us her calendar,

Which was much emptier than you might think considering who she is…

She said, “All this free time has made me the happiest I’ve been for quite a while…”

Then, she showed us some numbers, mainly about all the sales she’d recently closed, as well as how her business had saved over R15 000 in the last couple of months because of streamlined accounting services.

She told Bennie “Look, I know you’re not keen to outsource all your accounting to The Beancounter… I’ve been there….

Maybe it’s because you think you should be doing everything yourself… or perhaps like me, you got burned the last time you outsourced all your accounting…”

“I understand. But, ever since I signed on with Waldo and The Beancounter, my life has been pure bliss… It’s quite ridiculous how much peace an accounting company that actually cares can bring you.”

And, she wasn’t lying.

Because of The Beancounter, Kate was able to live her best life, while still working ON her business, instead of IN it.

She was able to free up time to focus on the other things that matter;

To live a more stress-free life,

Give her family the time of day,

And streamline her accounting, which eventually increased her company’s bottom line.

There’s absolutely nothing stopping us from doing the EXACT same for you and your business.

Isn’t it time you started working ON your business instead of IN it?

You need to make 100% sure you’re making the right choice by choosing The Beancounter.

Even though you know the consultation is free with zero obligation. 

That’s not enough for you right now…

Because at the end of the day, you’re worried about one thing and one thing only:

Getting the books off your back so that you have the time freedom to start aggressively scaling your business.

It’s ready.

It just needs its captain at the helm.

And the fact of the matter is that you don’t have the time to “try” something out, only to be back to square one again a couple of months down the line.

We hear you.

But there’s not much more we can say or do to make you trust us that we haven’t said already.

✅ You’ve seen that 98% of our clients rate us exceptional.

✅ You’ve seen that we’ve been in business for over a decade.

✅ You know that we’re putting our money where our mouth is to guarantee you a professional service that will 100% save you time and money.

We’ve done everything in our power to mitigate ALL the risk on your part.

Firstly, because we’re 100% confident in our abilities.

And secondly, because we care about your peace of mind.

But like anything in life, it’s up to you.

So what is it?

Is it price?

Because if it is, all we can say is that our accounting pricing was made especially for you.

But more than likely, it’s the fear of the unknown that’s getting you to second guess yourself right now.

Listen, you can obviously let fear take over and leave right now and forget about outsourcing and streamlining your acounting.

But then you’re just going to have to be satisfied with not growing your business further than it is now.

You can go try and find someone cheaper, maybe some sort of freelancer to do your payroll.

But then don’t be surprised when you find out a few years later that you probably could have saved quadruple the amount of money in your business because your accountant was doing the minimum.

But let’s be honest with each other right now…

You never would have read this far is that’s what you truly wanted!
