Accounting, VAT and payroll for South African businesses, in plain English.

Invoices, the bank, the VAT201, payslips, the EMP201 and IRP5s in one place, built around SARS from the start rather than bolted on.

SARAH is opening to new businesses now. Leave your details and we will be in touch.

Get paid sooner
Quotes, invoices and statements that go out by email or WhatsApp, with a link where the customer sees their whole account. SARAH chases late payers politely, on a schedule you choose.
The bank, sorted
Bring in your bank statement and SARAH suggests what each line is, and says how sure it is. You tick, it posts. Rules remember the rest.
VAT done properly
The VAT201 laid out field by field the way eFiling numbers it, with the checks SARS cares about done before you file. Cash or invoice basis.
Payroll included
PAYE, UIF, SDL and the employment tax incentive worked out from SARS’s own tables. Payslips on staff phones, the EMP201 every month and IRP5s at year end.
Knows the tax
Provisional tax, the company tax return working, dividends tax, and plain warnings when a saving is being missed or a deadline is coming.
Ask your books
Type "who owes us money?" or "how much is in the bank?" and get the answer, with the lines that make it up.
Your books stay yours
Download everything, any time, in ordinary files. Stop paying and you can still read and print every year.
South African through and through
Rand, South African time, SARS’s forms and dates, and the Protection of Personal Information Act built in.
Talks like a person
No jargon on the screens. Every warning says what is wrong, what it costs you, and what to press.

Questions people ask

What happens after the 14 days?

Pick a plan and pay by EFT or card. If you do nothing, nothing new can go into the books until you do, but everything already in them stays yours to read, print and download. We never hold your records hostage.

Is my information safe?

Each business is walled off from every other. Signing in is by a link to your email (and a code on a new device), so there is no password to steal. You can download everything at any time.

Can my accountant or bookkeeper get in?

Yes. Invite them by email, as an accountant or a bookkeeper, within the number of people your plan allows. Accounting firms looking after several businesses use the Practice plan.

I use Sage or a spreadsheet now. Can I move?

Yes. Bring in your customers, suppliers, opening balances and what is owed, and carry on from there. The free fortnight is the time to try it on your own figures.
