South African cloud accounting

Books, payroll, year-end and CIPC. One ledger, one price.

Import the bank statement, send invoices, run payroll and pull the VAT201 figures from one set of books. At year-end the annual financial statements and the CIPC records come from the same figures. For the people running the business, and the practices keeping the books.

I keep books for clients.

One practice workspace. A separate ledger for every client.

Plus Group: a combined profit and loss and balance sheet across the companies in a group, with an intercompany view.

Post it once. Use it everywhere.

The bank statement you reconcile, the invoices you send, the payroll you run and the returns you prepare all read from the same ledger.

Renvo prepares the figures and the export files. You submit on eFiling, e@syFile and the CIPC portal, and the calendar tells you when.

  1. 01

    Import the statement. Accept the suggestions you agree with. Post.

    Upload a PDF, CSV or OFX statement, or email it to your company's statements address. Renvo suggests a category and a contact for each line, pairs transfers between your own accounts, applies your bank rules and flags lines that look miscoded. You approve before anything posts, then reconcile to the statement balance.

  2. 02

    Invoices your customers can pay online. Bills that arrive by email.

    Turn a quote into an invoice. Add a pay link and the customer pays through PayFast; the payment is recorded against the invoice. Forward supplier invoices to your company's bills address and they arrive as draft bills with the supplier, date, amount and VAT already read. Reconcile supplier statements.

  3. 03

    Run payroll. The EMP201 is already done.

    Each pay run calculates PAYE, UIF, SDL and ETI and posts to the ledger. The EMP201 shows what to declare for the month. The VAT returns report gives the VAT201 figures for the period. The compliance calendar shows what is due next.

For practices

Every client’s books, one login, one bill.

A separate ledger for each client company, switched from one picker. Invite staff to the practice and clients to their own company. One board shows every client’s VAT201, EMP201, EMP501, IRP6 and CIPC annual return dates. Each set of annual financial statements is an engagement file with review and sign-off states, not a template. When a client leaves, release the company to them with the books intact.

Six rules. Check every one in the trial.

Every line below is a product fact. Confirm each one yourself inside the 14 days.

  • Nothing posts on its own. Suggestions wait for your approval. Auto-pilot for bank lines it has learned, and automatic posting of routine bills, are both off until you switch them on.
  • One price per company. R499 a month covers every user, every module and every transaction. Nothing costs extra.
  • Stop paying and your books stay readable and exportable. Nothing further can be posted; everything already recorded can still be opened and exported.
  • Closed periods stay closed. Nothing posts into a closed period. Reopening is a deliberate act and it is recorded. Every change is on the audit trail.
  • Backed up every night, and every backup is verified.
  • No live bank feeds and no direct filing. You import statements and approve them. You file on eFiling, e@syFile and the CIPC portal.

The questions people ask before they move.

Does it connect to my bank?
Not by live feed. You import a PDF, CSV or OFX statement, or email it in. Renvo suggests the categories; you approve them.
I use Xero, Sage or Pastel.
Export your trial balance and open items, bring them across with Move onto Renvo, and run both systems for the 14 days. How switching works
Can my accountant and I both work in it?
Yes. Invite them to your company, or let their practice hold the company and release it to you later. Same books either way.
What happens after 14 days?
Subscribe and carry on. If you do not, the books go read-only: every report opens and everything exports.
