Accountants, like children should be seen but not heard. They have to work in the background but their importance is often overlooked. There are three pillars that business owners want from an accounting firm – Compliance, Tax Savings and Great Advice. As a new company we strive to ensure that those 3 pillars form the cornerstone of our offering. Too often in the past, accountants are accused of being more focused on filling the right box with a figure rather than filling the right figure in the right box. That figure means something to the business owner because it impacts their pocket. At Prestige, that figure counts!

At Prestige Accounting we understand that you want that reassurance that we are there to support you. So that, god forbid, you get that sms late on a Friday or early on a Sunday (because Sars likes nothing more than ruining weekends), that we have your back.

Why are we different?

Have you ever signed up with an accounting firm for a set fee but received a different amount at the end of the month? Have you noticed that legacy compliance issues become very expensive? Do you only see your accountant at the end of the year when you have to pay something and you get a scary SARS bill? Is your business compliant but someone else does your personal tax?

Well at Prestige, we see our job as a holistic one. 

You cannot ignore the past; You shouldn’t separate business and personal; You have to be consistent and you have to be part of the business with regular meetings. 

Finally no nasty surprises!!!

Cost Savings

There are many ways to put more money in your pocket. The first point is that there is an important difference between tax evasion vs tax avoidance. This is where the figure in the box counts. We consistently and legally ensure that our customers maximize their tax savings. 

This is extended to their personal tax. If you haven’t had someone sit with you to structure your salary, arrange a retirement annuity or even help you get a rebate on your solar panels, then you are missing out.

Funding

Unless you are really lucky, the best way to grow a business is funding. For that you need to speak “bank”. We speak bank fluently and we have access to dedicated bankers and consultants within the FNB/Wesbank stable that have assisted several of our customers. 

Peripherals

Apart from opening bank accounts, putting you in touch with private funders and bankers, we also offer insurance, marketing, administrative assistance and several other peripherals that we would happily introduce you to as we learn more about each other.
