Most small businesses find out too late.
A spreadsheet tells you what you invoiced. It doesn't tell you which client is quietly funding itself on your cash flow, or whether the VAT you set aside will cover the return. Cost InSight closes that gap without asking you to become a bookkeeper.
Statements go out irregularly, ageing is guessed at, and the oldest debt is the one nobody remembers to follow up.
Output and input VAT get reconstructed at deadline from invoices and slips, instead of accruing correctly as you trade.
Payments land without a reference, get allocated by memory, and the difference is written off rather than explained.
One system, from quote to VAT return.
Nine document types that reconcile with each other — quote, pro-forma, tax invoice, credit note, statement, PO, delivery note, remittance, receipt.
Import statements from the major SA banks as CSV or OFX, match against open items, and keep a reconciliation you can defend line by line.
Standard, zero-rated and exempt handled per line, with output and input VAT summarised and a VAT201 export ready for filing.
Stock valuation, cost of sales and an asset register with depreciation posting straight to the ledger. Included on Business.
Unlimited users, each with a role: give a clerk invoicing only and your accountant the ledger. Every change is recorded in the audit trail.
Trial balance, profit & loss, balance sheet, cash flow and general ledger — every figure traceable to its source document.
Output, input, and what you actually owe.
VAT accrues from the documents you post, not from a scramble before the deadline. Pick a period, see the summary, and export VAT201 figures with the supporting invoice and bill listings behind them.
Nine documents that agree with each other.
A credit note knows its invoice. A statement knows its ledger. An ageing strip knows the same balance your customer sees. Change one number and everything downstream follows — because it's all the same ledger.
