Consultancy
The range of consulting services includes the following:
When approached for a consulting project, APS works with the client to help identify the main challenges and then designs short- and long-term remedies and solutions to solve the identified issues using a systematic and creative approach. APS’s involvement varies with the nature of the situation and the request of the client. In particular, the assignment may range from ad hoc advice on a particular problem or issue, to the design of comprehensive systems as well as the evaluation and revision of existing ones.
After meeting with the client and agreeing on the scope of the project, a team of specialized consultants starts working with the client’s staff. After agreeing on the solutions, they train the client’s staff, assist in the implementation, and help the client achieve the desired benefits.

Taxation Services
In South Africa, tax compliance is vital to the successful operation of every business as non-compliance carries heft penalties and interest which can lead to the failing of a business. We provide tax opinions, business support and tax advisory to clients in respect of Employees Tax, Income Tax, Value-added Tax (including cross-border VAT) and all other taxes administered by SARS. Our main goal is to help our clients structure their tax affairs as efficiently as possible and be able to get tax savings this way. We also handle our clients’ tax audits, arrears, penalties, objections, and disputes with SARS.
Accounting and Finance
We help with Preparation of Financial Statements. Accounting is the art of analysing as well as interpreting financial statements. Financial statements are formal records of financial activities of an entity. Relevant information is presented in a structured and easy to understand form. Financial statements include the following:
- Statement of Financial Position
- A Statement of Comprehensive Income
- A Statement of Changes in Equity
- A Statement of Cashflow
We prepare these financial statements according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). Financial Statements are the primary language between your business and the majority of the stakeholders (the taxman, the investors, the funding providers etc.)
Other areas in finance and accounting in which we consult include the following:
- Financial Policies and Procedures
- Managing Business Performance Improvement and Turnaround
- Internal Control Systems
- Budget Systems and Cost Controls
- Feasibility Studies and Business Plans
- Business and Financial Forecasting
Governance, Risk and Compliance (Internal Audit and Assurance)
Auditing is a systematic and independent examination of accounting statutory records and documents of an organisation to ascertain how far financial statements and non-financial disclosures present a true and fair value of an entity. It also attempts to ensure that the books of accounts are properly maintained by the concern as required by Law. Most small and medium businesses will usually require only assurance reports to have a peace of mind that their business is doing well.
Statutory Compliance Services
Most individuals tend to think of only SARS when it comes to statutory compliance however SARS is not the only legislated entity whose laws and regulations require compliance. There are other filings which business need to research, understand and comply with for example the Workmen’s Compensation Fund or the CIPC annual returns which may see your business being deregistered if they are not filed.
APS is your go-to partner for assistance with these matters. We ensure that your business is free from these seemingly trivial but essential compliance requirements.
For information about any of the above topics, please contact us by phone or email and we will be more than glad to provide you with feedback which will help you decide how best to proceed.
