Software Development for Accounting & Tax
Accounting is one of our deepest domains. We build the systems that sit between the books, the bank, and SARS — automating the work accountants and finance teams do by hand. We're currently building an AI CFO platform that connects to Xero and SARS to give businesses real-time financial insight, forecasting, and compliance guidance.
The hard problems in accounting & tax
Where accounting & tax software typically gets difficult — and where ProteaByte tends to add the most value.
Ledger-grade correctness
Double-entry integrity, reconciliation to the cent, and full audit trails. In accounting software, a rounding bug is a compliance problem.
SARS and South African tax compliance
VAT, PAYE, provisional tax, and eFiling workflows — built around SARS requirements and deadlines, not adapted from foreign templates.
Connecting fragmented data
Xero, bank feeds, payroll, invoicing, and spreadsheets rarely agree. We integrate and normalise them into a single source of truth.
AI you can trust with the numbers
AI that explains its reasoning, is grounded in the real ledger, and keeps a human in the loop — not a chatbot guessing at your cash flow.
