How It WorksSimple. Structured. Seamless.

Getting started with Limani Advisory is straightforward. Here's exactly what to expect — from your first conversation through to ongoing financial management.

From first call to full partnership.

01
Phase 1 — Week 1

Discovery Call

Everything starts with a conversation. We take 30–45 minutes to understand your business, your current financial situation, what's working, what isn't, and what you need. No obligation, no jargon, no pressure. This call shapes everything that follows.

Duration

30–45 minutes by phone or video call

What to Prepare

A rough sense of your current financial setup and pain points

Outcome

Clarity on whether and how we can help

02
Phase 2 — Week 1–2

Tailored Proposal

Based on what we've learned, we prepare a personalised proposal. This outlines the exact services we recommend, what's included, a transparent monthly fee, and the terms of engagement. No hidden costs, no surprises.

Delivered Within

2–3 business days of the discovery call

What's Included

Full service scope, pricing, and engagement terms

Outcome

A clear agreement both parties are confident in

03
Phase 3 — Weeks 2–4

Onboarding & Setup

Once you're on board, we collect all the documents we need, take over from your previous accountant if applicable, set up your cloud accounting system (QuickBooks Online), and bring your records up to date. We do the heavy lifting — you just hand things over.

Timeline

Typically 1–3 weeks depending on the state of your records

What We Handle

Previous accountant transition, SARS and CIPC records, QuickBooks setup

Outcome

Clean, current books and systems from day one

04
Phase 4 — Ongoing

Monthly Management

This is where the partnership really begins. Every month, we handle your bookkeeping, payroll, tax submissions, and any other agreed services. You receive your management reports, stay informed, and never have to worry about SARS deadlines again.

Frequency

Monthly deliverables — reports, payroll, submissions

Communication

Regular updates and immediate response to queries

Outcome

Full compliance and financial clarity every month

05
Phase 5 — Quarterly / Annually

Strategic Review & Advisory

Beyond the monthly work, we meet periodically to review your financial performance, revisit your strategy, and ensure your financial affairs — both business and personal — are aligned with where you want to go.

Frequency

Quarterly or annual depending on your plan

Covers

Performance review, tax planning, strategic advisory

Outcome

A business and personal financial plan that stays current

Working together

A different kind of practice.

  • Fast, Direct Communication

    We respond promptly. No waiting days for a reply to a simple question.

  • Clear Monthly Reports

    You'll receive easy-to-understand financial reports — not just raw numbers, but plain-language explanations.

  • Proactive Deadline Management

    We track every SARS and CIPC deadline on your behalf and ensure nothing is ever filed late.

  • Complete Confidentiality

    Your financial information is handled with strict professional discretion — always.

What you'll need to provide.

01

Company Registration Docs

Your CoR14.3 or COR9.4 from CIPC

02

SARS Tax Numbers

Income tax, VAT, and PAYE registration numbers

03

Bank Statements

Last 3–6 months of business bank statements

04

Existing Financial Records

Previous year financial statements or trial balance if available

05

Payroll Information

Employee details, current salaries, and employment contracts

06

Director / Owner ID

Certified ID copies of all directors or members

That's okay.

Many clients come to us mid-year with incomplete records, missing documents, or years of unfiled returns. We've seen it before. We know how to untangle it.

During onboarding, we'll identify exactly what's available, what needs to be reconstructed, and what we need to request from SARS or CIPC on your behalf. The sooner you start, the sooner we can get everything in order.

A note on transitions

If you're moving from another accountant, we handle the transition professionally and discreetly. We'll request the necessary handover documents and bring your records up to date before taking on ongoing responsibilities.

Your questions answered.

Still have questions? Contact us and we'll get back to you promptly.

How long does onboarding take?
Typically 1–3 weeks, depending on the state of your existing records and how quickly we receive the required documents. We work at your pace and keep you informed throughout.
Can I start mid-year?
Yes, absolutely. Most clients start mid-year. We'll get your books up to date from the beginning of your financial year and handle all outstanding obligations before taking on the ongoing work.
What if I have years of outstanding returns?
This is more common than you think. We handle SARS and CIPC arrears carefully — assessing the situation, managing any penalties, and bringing everything up to date in the most efficient way possible.
How do I send you my documents?
We use secure, cloud-based document sharing. For ongoing work, QuickBooks Online means your bank feeds and transactions are always accessible to us in real time — no emailing spreadsheets back and forth.
What does it cost?
Our fees are tailored to your specific needs — the size of your business, the complexity of your affairs, and the services you require. We provide a transparent, fixed monthly fee with no surprises. Contact us for a personalised quote.
