We are here to help. Whether you have a question about our services, want to discuss your business finances, or are ready to get started, reach out and we will get back to you promptly.
Let’s Talk
Getting in touch with us is simple. TAT Accountant works with business owners across South Africa and understand that every enquiry is different. Some clients come to us with a clear picture of what they need. Others are not yet sure and simply want to have a conversation. We welcome both. There is no obligation and no pressure. Our team is here to listen, answer your questions honestly, and help you figure out whether we are the right fit for your business.
We are available Monday to Friday from 08h00 to 16h30. Outside of those hours, you are welcome to send a message through the contact form below and we will respond on the next business day.

Contact Form
From busy cities to remote towns, our accounting services are readily accessible, offering secure, reliable, and real-time financial management.
Our clients rely on us for clarity, consistency, and dependable financial guidance. We focus on helping businesses stay organised, meet their compliance responsibilities, and understand the financial information that drives better decisions. By working closely with each client, we provide support that adapts to changing needs and offers practical direction throughout the year. This approach helps owners stay confident in their financial position and maintain steady progress as their businesses grow.
What Happens After You Contact Us
Many business owners are unsure what to expect when they first reach out to an accounting firm. We want to make that process as clear and comfortable as possible, so here is what typically happens after you get in touch.
We start with a conversation. This is not a sales call. It is a straightforward discussion about your business, your current financial situation, and what you are looking for in an accounting team. We ask questions to understand your needs and give you an honest picture of how we can help.
From there, we put together a proposal tailored to your business. We outline the services that are relevant to you, explain how we work, and give you a clear view of what is involved. You take the time you need to consider it and come back to us with any questions.
Once you decide to move forward, we handle the onboarding process. If you are switching from another accountant, we manage that transition on your behalf. We request your financial records, set up your accounts on our systems, and ensure there is no disruption to your compliance obligations during the changeover. Most clients are up and running within a short time frame and are assigned a dedicated account manager from the outset.
From that point, your account manager becomes your primary point of contact. They know your business, oversee your day-to-day financial processes, and are available to you during business hours through whichever communication channel you prefer, whether that is phone, email, Slack, or Skype.

It takes only a few minutes to complete and gives you a score you can track over time as your business grows and improves. If you are not sure how your business is performing financially, the PI Score Calculator is a good place to start.
