Sage Pastel & QuickBooks Support — Expert Service on Your Platform

Not ready to move to Xero? Not interested in moving? That is completely fine. Your Accountant® fully services clients on Sage, Sage Pastel, and QuickBooks — with the same expert accounting, bookkeeping, tax and payroll service regardless of which platform you use.

Your Platform, Your Choice

Many accounting firms push every client onto Xero because it is easier for the accountant. We don't. We believe the right platform is the one that works for your business — and we have the skills and experience to service clients on Sage, Sage Pastel, and QuickBooks at the same high standard as our Xero clients.

What you will not get from us is pressure to move before you are ready. What you will get is honest advice about the options, and excellent service on whatever platform you choose.

💡 Fewer SA Accountants Service Sage Properly

Many newer accounting firms have moved entirely to Xero and no longer service Sage clients properly. Your Accountant® maintains active expertise across Sage, Sage Pastel, and QuickBooks — giving you access to a full-service firm regardless of your platform.

What We Do on Sage & QuickBooks

Whether you are on Sage Pastel Partner, Sage Pastel Xpress, Sage One, or QuickBooks Desktop or Online, we provide the same comprehensive accounting service:

  • Monthly bookkeeping and bank reconciliations
  • Supplier and customer account management
  • Monthly management accounts and reporting
  • VAT processing and submissions
  • Year-end financial statements
  • Tax compliance — income tax, provisional tax, PAYE
  • SARS correspondence and submissions
  • Payroll processing — on your preferred platform

Payroll Across All Platforms

We process payroll for Sage and QuickBooks clients using the platform that best suits their needs — Sage Cloud Payroll for clients in the Sage ecosystem, Intercode for cost-conscious clients, or SimplePay where staff self-service is desired regardless of accounting platform.

We never tell a client they have to change their accounting software. Our job is to serve your business on the platform that works for you — not to make our life easier at your expense.

When to Consider Moving to Xero

We will always give you an honest assessment. The time to consider moving to Xero is when you feel constrained by your current platform — when you wish you could access your data from anywhere, when you are spending too much time on manual processes, or when you want to integrate other business software. If and when that time comes, we handle the full migration — zero data loss, done over a weekend.
