A Gauteng bookkeeper for Johannesburg businesses
You do not need a bookkeeper down the road. You need one who answers, keeps your books up to date and files your returns on time. Melletts Financial Services has done that for small businesses since 2002.
We are bookkeepers and registered tax practitioners based in Pretoria East. We do not have an office in Johannesburg, and the work does not need one: your bank statements, invoices and slips reach us by WhatsApp or email, and your books are kept in cloud software you can log in to at any time. You deal with the same person every month.
Why Johannesburg businesses use an online bookkeeper
- No driving across town. Send a photo of a slip or forward a statement. Nothing has to be dropped off.
- Books you can see. With Xero, QuickBooks or Sage in the cloud, you can check your numbers whenever you want.
- One practice for books, payroll and tax. Your VAT, PAYE and income tax returns agree with your books, because the same people do all of them.
- A fixed quote upfront. You know the monthly fee before any work starts.
Who it suits in Johannesburg
- Small businesses and close corporations that need monthly bookkeeping, payroll and VAT done properly.
- Sole proprietors, freelancers and consultants who want clean books and no provisional tax surprises.
- Online shops and service businesses that already work digitally and want their bookkeeping to work the same way.
- Business owners who are behind and need their books and returns caught up.
Because the work is done online, it makes no difference whether you are in Sandton, Randburg, Roodepoort, Fourways, Midrand or on the East Rand. Read how online bookkeeping works, or see our bookkeeper in Pretoria page if you are closer to Pretoria.
Tip: Changing bookkeepers is easiest at the start of a new month or a new VAT period. To begin, we only need your bank statements, your last set of financial statements and access to your accounting software, if you use one.

FAQ
Bookkeeping in Johannesburg, quick answers
Do you have an office in Johannesburg?
No. We are based in Pretoria East and work with Johannesburg businesses online, by WhatsApp, email and phone. Your documents are sent digitally and your books are in the cloud, so you never need to come in.
How much do bookkeeping services cost in Johannesburg?
It depends on the number of transactions each month, whether you have staff on payroll and whether you are registered for VAT. After a free 15-minute call you get a fixed monthly quote, with no hidden extras.
Can you take over from my current bookkeeper?
Yes. We take your opening balances from your last financial statements or your accounting software, check where you stand with SARS and CIPC, and carry on from there. If the books are behind, we catch them up first.
Which accounting software do you use?
We work in Xero, QuickBooks and Sage. If you already use one of them, we carry on in it. If you do not use software yet, we will suggest what suits your business.
Do you also do tax returns for Johannesburg clients?
Yes. We are registered tax practitioners and file company tax, personal tax, provisional tax, VAT and payroll returns with SARS for clients anywhere in South Africa.
