Unpopular opinion: most small businesses don't need a CFO. They need an accountant who picks up the phone, explains things clearly, and flags problems before they get expensive.

We're not going to tell you we're passionate about your financial success. We're going to do the work and make sure you understand what it means.

That's the whole pitch.

Provisional tax confuses a lot of business owners. It's one of those things that sounds complicated but actually isn't — once someone explains it in plain language.

Swipe through for the straightforward version: what it is, who pays it, when, and what the common mistake is.

The August deadline is closer than it looks. If you're not sure about your estimate, rather talk to your accountant now.

Did you know your company could quietly start a deregistration process without you even being notified?

CIPC annual returns don't have a fixed national deadline — they're due on your company's incorporation anniversary. Miss it, and CIPC starts the process. No warning email. Just a status change.

Three things most business owners get wrong:
→ They don't know when their company was incorporated
→ They assume their bookkeeper or accountant is handling it (often not, unless it's been agreed)
→ The annual return fee is small — but ignoring it gets expensive fast

Save this, check your incorporation date, and make sure you're compliant.

Five months down. Are you where you thought you'd be?

It's the 1st of June — January through May are done. Not a financial year thing, just the calendar. But five months in is a natural moment to look up and ask: is the business on track?

Most business owners have a rough sense of how things are going. Fewer have actually looked at the numbers recently.

If you haven't, this is a good week to do it.

What's surprised you most about your business so far this year?

R60k profit. R4k in the bank. Same month.

How?

Profit = what the books say. Based on invoices sent, not cash received.

Cash flow = actual money you can spend today.

You invoice R200k. It shows as revenue. You're profitable on paper. But your client pays in 60 days and your rent is due in 30. You're short — regardless of what the income statement says.

This is why profitable businesses still stress about making payroll.
Track when money actually arrives, not just when you invoice it. Know when obligations are due. If there's a gap, you'll see it coming.

Does your business track cash flow, or are you flying blind?

Quick compliance check 🚨

Is your company’s CIPC annual return up to date?

If you had to think about it for more than two seconds — read this.

Every registered company in South Africa must file an annual return with CIPC within 30 business days of its anniversary date. Not the same as your tax return. Separate filing. Every year. Non-negotiable.

What happens if you miss it:
🔴 Company flagged as non-compliant
🔴 CIPC can deregister your company entirely
🔴 Deregistered company cannot trade, sign contracts, or operate a bank account
🔴 Reinstatement is slow, frustrating, and costs money you do not need to spend

The fix is simple annual admin. Sorted quickly if it is up to date. Not so quickly if it is not.

Not sure if yours is filed? Drop us a message — it takes five minutes to check.

COIDA Return of Earnings (ROE) submissions are officially open, and businesses have until 30 June 2026 to submit.

Every year, companies leave this until the last minute — only to run into portal delays, expired Letters of Good Standing, penalties, or project disruptions when contractors are denied site access.

The reality is that this is more than just an admin task. Late submissions can result in a 10% penalty, interest on outstanding amounts, and unnecessary operational headaches.

At Exigo, we strongly encourage businesses to prepare early by:
• Confirming their ROE registration details are up to date
• Reviewing payroll records ahead of submission
• Updating any changes to company information
• Avoiding the last-minute rush on the Compensation Fund portal

Submitting early is not just good practice — it’s risk management.

This article will count 0.25 units (15 minutes) of unverifiable CPD. Remember to log these units under your membership profile. Your client calls in a panic. Their Letter of Good Standing has lapsed. Their contractor can't get on site. And the ROE that should have been filed two months ago?
