For accounting firms & recruiters

Your practice runs on the phone. Catch what it drops.

After-hours answering, client intake and the routine follow-ups that run off after 17:00 — plus the website and Google visibility that make your firm findable when someone searches for what you do, in your suburb. Built for accounting practices and recruitment agencies in Gauteng.

The problem

The call came at 18:04. Nobody answered.

The owner can't be the answerphone

You're with a client or in a return all day, and the new enquiry on the line goes to voicemail. A candidate with an offer from someone else, a business owner whose SARS deadline is Friday — by morning they had called the firm down the road.

The follow-up runs on a person at 21:00

The client who still owes you documents. The invoice nobody chased. The quote that went quiet. Every one runs the same way every time — which is exactly why a system can carry it, and your people should not have to.

Invisible where clients actually search

A firm that can't be found on Google when someone nearby searches for exactly what it does loses the enquiry before the letterhead is ever seen. A template site with your logo dropped in doesn't fix that.

What gets built

Systems that catch it.

The work is built once, around the way your firm already runs — then looked after. No new number, no new software for your staff to learn, no changing your systems to suit ours.

The calls you can't take, caught

After-hours, lunch-hour and busy-line calls answered on your existing number, screened against your own questions, with the caller's details captured and a call-back list in your inbox before 07:00. What is promised is the handling — every call answered and logged — not a business outcome nobody can promise.

The routine work carried by a system

Chasing outstanding documents, unanswered quotes and silent invoices runs as a routine instead of a person's evening. Anything that affects a person is still checked by a person — a machine never makes the call a qualified professional should.

A website built the right way

Custom design — no templates, no page builders — fast on a phone, and yours to update yourself through your own admin panel. Priced from the published packages, like everything else.

Findable in your suburb

The Google Business Profile and local search foundations that put your firm in front of the people searching for what you do, where they actually search from.

Website builds run from R10,000 (Launch) to R24,000 (Authority) with published monthly retainers — see the packages. Phone and intake work is one workflow at a time, scoped and priced in writing before anything is built. See the packages

Questions

What firms ask before they commit.

Do I have to change my phone number or move to new software?

No. The answering sits on your existing number and catches what you can't take — after hours, over the lunch hour, on a busy line. Your staff change nothing, and there is no new system to learn.

Is this an answering service or a chatbot?

Neither, exactly. It is a system built around your questions and your workflows, and anything that affects a person is checked by a person before it goes out. A machine never makes the call a qualified professional should — that is the rule the whole setup is built on.

What do you promise?

The handling, not the outcome: every after-hours call answered and logged, every agreed follow-up carried. No guaranteed rankings, no guaranteed clients, no revenue claims — anyone who promises those is selling you something you cannot audit.

What does it cost?

Website builds are published openly: from R10,000 for the Launch package, R16,500 for Growth, R24,000 for Authority, each with a monthly retainer from R700 covering hosting, updates and support. The phone and intake work is scoped per firm — one workflow, one outcome, written out and priced in writing before a rand changes hands, so you always know exactly what is in.

We're a small firm — one to five people. Is this for us?

That is exactly who it is built for. The gap this closes is biggest where the owner is the one holding the phone, and a small firm doesn't need a bigger team to stop dropping calls — it needs the routine work carried by something that doesn't sleep.

Where do you work?

Accounting practices, bookkeepers and recruitment agencies across Gauteng — Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand and Johannesburg. Most of the work runs remotely; first meetings are half an hour, at your office or ours.

If the phone is the problem, let's look at your week.

Half an hour, at your office or ours. We ask how your week actually runs, and if there's nothing worth fixing, we'll say so.
