Who We Serve

Built for operators running
more than one set of books

If you run multiple stores — franchised or your own brand — you're really running multiple sets of books, several payrolls, and a head office that needs to see it all clearly. That's the job we do every month.

✓

Your franchisor expects
a pack every month

Most franchise agreements require monthly management accounts, in the franchisor's format, by the franchisor's deadline. We build your books so that pack is a by-product of month-end — not a panic.

✓

Store-by-store truth,
not one blurred total

Each site gets its own P&L, reconciled to its own takings, so you can see which store carries the group — and which one quietly leaks margin every month.

✓

Head office needs numbers,
not more admin

We slot in under your operations — POS feeds, payroll, supplier accounts — and take month-end off your plate entirely. You read the pack; we do the work behind it.

How It Works

Up and running in a week

We handle the complexity. You just run your stores.

Connect your stores

Link each store's bank accounts, POS and payment processors, plus head office. Read-only connections, set up in under an hour per site.

We reconcile every site

A qualified accountant reconciles each store's takings, banking and supplier accounts every month — store by store, to the cent. Not software guessing.

Get your group pack

Store-level P&Ls, one consolidated group view, and a plain-English story of the month — plus the management pack your franchisor requires, on deadline.

SARS-ready, always

VAT201s prepared ready to submit, EMP201 reconciled across every payroll, provisional tax reminders, and year-end records your accountant signs off without the scramble.

What You Get

Everything a group needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

Store-by-Store Bookkeeping

Each site reconciled separately — takings to bank, POS to ledger, suppliers to statements — then rolled into one clean group view. No blurred totals.

The Franchisor Pack, On Time

Monthly management accounts in the format your franchise agreement requires, sent before the deadline — every month, without anyone chasing you.

A Report You'll Actually Read

One visual page telling the story of the group's month — which stores grew, where margin went, what to watch — with full financials as an appendix.

VAT Across the Group

Input and output VAT tracked per entity, VAT201s prepared and submission-ready — one store or ten, nothing left to reconstruct at deadline time.

Payroll Reconciliation

EMP201 reconciled monthly across every site's payroll, so PAYE, UIF and SDL match the books at head office and at each store — always.

Direct Access, Always

You or your operations manager message your bookkeeper — a qualified accountant — directly on WhatsApp or email. Plain answers from a person who knows your group.

Straight Answer

Why multi-site plans cost more
than our standard plans

It's a fair question — our standard plans start at R2,999/mo, and you'll pay more for what can look like the same service. Here's the honest difference: every store is its own set of books.

Each site has its own takings to reconcile, its own suppliers, its own payroll and its own VAT trail. Then the group needs consolidating, and your franchisor needs their pack in their format, on their deadline — every month, no exceptions.

So you're not buying one bookkeeping service — you're buying one per store, plus a group view and a reporting deadline that doesn't move.

The rule is simple: it's the number of tills, not the logo on the door. Running a single location? Then our standard plans are the right fit — and when you open store two, we're ready.

Who's Behind Bedrock

A bookkeeping service run
by a qualified accountant

Steve Venter

Founder · CIMA (ACMA) · B.Compt (Unisa)

Steve spent a decade in the engine rooms of South African businesses — logistics fleets, telecoms, small accounting practices — preparing the management accounts that owners actually run their businesses on. More recently he's worked in financial advisory in the UK, helping large financial institutions untangle complex finance operations and stand up to regulatory scrutiny.

Bedrock is him bringing that rigour back home — and it's deliberately a bookkeeping service. Steve keeps every store's books immaculate and your group pack on deadline every month; your accountant keeps the sign-offs and filings. The cleanest division of labour there is.

Questions, answered straight

Can you report in our franchisor's format?

Yes. Most franchise agreements specify a monthly management-account format and a deadline. We set your books up so that pack falls straight out of month-end — built in your franchisor's template and sent before it's due. You stop being chased for numbers.

Our stores are separate companies. Can you consolidate them?

Yes — each entity keeps its own clean set of books, and we prepare a consolidated group view on top. Whether your stores sit in one company or five, you see both the parts and the whole, store by store and side by side.

Do you replace our accountant?

No — we're your bookkeeper; your accountant stays your accountant. We keep every store's books immaculate month to month and hand over year-end records your accountant can sign off without the scramble. VAT201s are prepared submission-ready; the filings and sign-offs stay with your accountant.

Is our financial data safe?

Yes. Bank connections are read-only — nobody at Bedrock can move money. Data is encrypted, processed in line with POPIA, and remains yours: you can request a full export or deletion at any time. Read our privacy notice.

Our books are behind. Can you catch us up?

Yes — catch-up work is our speciality. We'll quote a fixed once-off fee based on the backlog, rebuild the records properly store by store, and then keep them current month to month so the next deadline is uneventful.

What exactly does a founding client get?

Three things: 40% off your monthly rate for your first 12 months, your standard rate locked for life (it never increases as long as you stay on your plan), and first access when we start onboarding. No lock-in contract — cancel any time.

When do you launch?

We're onboarding the founding group in small batches during 2026, in waitlist order — that's how we keep the service personal. Join the waitlist and we'll be in touch with your onboarding date.
