Not the biggest firm in Sandton — but arguably the best value. Here's why growing businesses choose us over larger competitors.
At large firms, you're assigned a junior who changes every year. At PayStream, you deal directly with an experienced director — by phone, email or WhatsApp — throughout our entire relationship.
Send us a written quote from any comparable South African accounting firm and we'll beat it. Premium accounting quality without the premium price tag — guaranteed in writing.
Every query answered within one business day — usually much faster. When SARS sends a letter or a deadline looms, you need someone who picks up. We always do.
See how we compare against large accounting firms and doing it yourself.

Every PayStream client receives the same non-negotiable level of service — regardless of business size.
Your account is managed by a senior director, not handed to a junior. Every decision has a name behind it.
Deadlines are non-negotiable at PayStream. We track every SARS submission date and deliver before it, not on it.
Message your accountant directly on WhatsApp. No ticket systems, no waiting queues — just direct, human communication.
We flag issues before they become problems. SARS law changes, new compliance requirements — you hear it from us first.
Switching accountants is painless with PayStream. We request all records, handle the SARS representative appointment, and get everything running smoothly within days.
Clear, jargon-free monthly management accounts that actually tell you how your business is performing — not just a file drop.
Free consultation. No pressure. Bring your current accounting quote and let us beat it.
