Outpost
Automated tax and accounting for South African individuals and businesses.
Why we built it
One system to close the books, prepare the SARS returns, produce IFRS for SMEs financial statements, keep CIPC filings current, run the payroll and send the invoices.
The month's plan for a sample company: the pay run, the books, the returns and CIPC, each with what is done and what is next.
What it does
- Upload bank statements and invoices. The AI classifies every transaction against your chart of accounts and asks you to confirm anything it isn't sure about.
- Generate monthly management reports and a full set of annual financial statements under IFRS for SMEs, with the notes.
- Every SARS return prepared for you to file: VAT, income tax, provisional tax and payroll, plus CIPC filings.
- Where it stands
- In private beta, by invitation.
- Who it's built with
- Built and run by Appventure, in our own accounts.
- Where it came from
- Josh raised the idea a few weeks after joining Appventure. Roger loved it, and asked him to start building immediately.
Feature by feature
What it does.
Bank statements in, books out
Drop in statements as files, several months at once. The app detects the bank and the period and shows any month that is missing.
Classification that learns from you
Confident classifications apply themselves; the rest go to a review queue, and every correction you make is remembered so it never asks twice.
Annual financial statements that check themselves
All the primary statements with comparatives and the notes, and a check that blocks a set that doesn't balance, cast or tie.
Every return, prepared not filed
VAT, company and personal income tax, provisional tax, monthly and annual payroll returns and tax certificates, each as a file with a click-by-click guide. You press submit on eFiling.
Payroll, in full
Payslips, PAYE, UIF, SDL, leave, loans, garnishees, bank payment files and terminations, with the employer returns SARS expects.
Quotes to invoices to bills
Quotes that become invoices in one click, recurring invoices, customer statements, purchase orders and supplier bills, with who owes you at the top.
A plan that tells you what to do next
A month-by-month board across payroll, accounting, tax and compliance, ticking each step green as the system verifies it.
Company secretarial, kept in good standing
Annual returns, beneficial ownership, director and address changes, and the registers, pre-filled for you to copy into CIPC.
