Affordable bookkeeping and payroll that suit smaller teams
Micro businesses need numbers that are current, clear and useful. Affo provides outsourced bookkeeping and payroll support that fits the pace of a small operation, whether you employ one person or a compact team that changes through the year. We work from Bryanston, Johannesburg and support clients across South Africa who want their payroll run properly and their records kept in good shape without taking on extra admin.
Our services are set up for day-to-day reality. That means careful monthly processing, accurate wage runs, clean payslips, and support with leave, deductions and new starter setup. If your books have fallen behind or payroll has become a month-end scramble, we help bring order back without overcomplicating the process.

Who we serve across South Africa
We focus on micro businesses, especially owners who need reliable support but do not need a full internal finance department. Our clients include sole traders, growing service businesses, small retail operations, trades, and local teams that need payroll handled properly every pay cycle. Many are based in busy commercial areas where owners wear too many hats and need a team that can take the finance admin off their hands.
Affo serves businesses in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and Gqeberha, with a strong base in Bryanston, Sandton, Randburg and Midrand. Because we work remotely and keep our processes structured, location is not a barrier. Whether your staff are in an office, on site or working across provinces, we can keep payroll moving and records up to date.
- Micro businesses with 1 to 20 staff
- Owner-managed companies needing monthly support
- Teams with weekly and monthly pay cycles
- Businesses that want payroll help without hiring in-house
- Companies needing consistent records for SARS and internal use
How we handle your books and payroll
Our approach is straightforward. We start by understanding your pay structure, staff setup and reporting needs, then put a process in place that suits your business. That can include collecting timesheets, checking leave balances, preparing wage runs, updating employee details and handling payroll changes when someone joins or leaves. We keep the work practical and accurate, with enough structure to keep things tidy but not so much that it slows you down.
You will always know what is due, what has been processed and what still needs attention. We aim to keep communication clear and the handover simple. If there are special deductions, changes in working hours or payroll cleanup required after a busy period, we deal with it in a way that makes sense for small business operations. It is important to us that you can trust the numbers and get on with running the business.
- Clear monthly checklist and agreed deadlines
- Regular payroll processing and reporting
- Careful handling of leave, overtime and deductions
- Support for employee changes and terminations
- Orderly records that are easier to review later
