As a small business owner, you wear many hats—visionary, salesperson, marketer, and manager.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?
A bookkeeper is responsible for recording daily financial transactions, such as sales, purchases, and payments. An accountant takes that data, analyses it, prepares financial statements, handles tax compliance, and provides strategic financial advice to help you grow your business.
How much do accounting services for a small business cost?
The cost varies depending on the complexity and transaction volume of your business. At TickBirds, we provide customised, fixed-fee monthly packages so you always know what to expect. This approach is often more cost-effective than hiring an in-house employee.
Do I need to be located in a specific city to work with TickBirds?
No. Thanks to modern cloud accounting software, we can partner with small businesses anywhere in South Africa. We provide the same high level of dedicated service, regardless of your location.
What accounting software do you recommend or work with?
We are proficient with all major cloud accounting platforms, including Xero, Sage, and QuickBooks. We can work with your existing system or help you migrate to the platform that best suits your business needs.
Is my business too small to benefit from professional accounting services?
No business is too small for professional financial management. In fact, establishing good financial habits early on is crucial for sustainable growth. Our services save you time, prevent costly mistakes, and provide the clarity you need to scale effectively.
