HOW TO DEAL WITH CURVE BALLS
October is Mental Health Awareness month. According to the Department of Health, the objective of various government and private campaigns this month is not only educating the South African public about mental health but also to reduce the stigma the topic is all too often handled with.
The Department of Health points out that Mental health problems such as job stress, depression and anxiety are common; with an estimated 400 million people worldwide suffering from mental or neurological disorders or from psychosocial problems. These problems affect not only the individuals but their families, co-workers, and the broader community too. According to the Department of Health too few South Africans seek treatment for their mental disorders.
๏ปฟ
Unfortunately many of these problems have been compounded over the past 18 months due to various factors related to the Covid pandemic. Indeed, Covid has thrown many additional (and tricky to navigate) speed bumps into the path of so many.
Speed bumps. Road blocks. Curve balls… Call them what you want, the reality is that without something like a global pandemic one needs to expect the unexpected both in life and in business. Through our own network (and the various curve balls they’ve had to face) we’ve once again seen that it is how you respond to those curveballs that counts.
Here are a few stories of facing up. And then hitting it out of the proverbial park…
Illness
In early 2020 Kenneth Coetzer was knocked down by a severe case of Covid.
Coetzer, who recently became a board member and shareholder, was totally out of it for around four or five days having been in ICU with his blood oxygen level at around 36%. He regained consciousness around the 7th of January when most of his clients were returning from their summer holidays. Unable to work at all, Coetzer was in no state to hit the ground running. It was then that he approached Willem Haarhoff for assistance. With the strategic setup of the company’s franchise systems , Haarhoff and some of the other associates could step in and share the load.
Thanks to DoughGetters’, powerful cloud-based accounting tools and apps (and technology-based business model) Haarhoff and the other franchisees could log in and access his clients (with granted permissions, of course) and carry on with the work, as well as support his clients with queries.
According to Coetzer, as sole proprietor, if he were to have hired in stand-in accountants outside of the DoughGetters fold to service his clients during his enforced down time, it would firstly have been near impossible to on-board them, and secondly, for the amount of time that he was unable to work, would have cost a significant amount of money.
Motorcycle accident
In late August, it was Coetzer’s turn to repay the favour, Willem Haarhoff was knocked off his motorcycle in an accident which required hospital time and surgery.
The accident immediately triggered various systems and protocols within the business. As board member Melissa du Plooy notes, “it was just incredible to see different people and the way they respond, kind of like a sports team training and being coached and then there is just this moment where they run out onto the field and it’s like – ‘okay, everything you’ve trained for, everything you’ve been taught now it’s time to step up and put it into practice.”
For her and the rest of the team, as much as it was for Haarhoff, it was an affirmation of what DoughGetters is trying to achieve with its systems.
Here are some of his reflections:
- Life happens to all of us, untimely and indiscriminately. Use every opportunity to learn a new lesson, improve yourself or make a positive impact on someone else. Do not use your situation as an excuse for self pity.
- There are more people that love and care for you than you might realise. You don’t need a big life event to remind you of that. Prioritise and invest time in other people, especially those that are close to you.
- Be hyper process oriented in your business – create opportunities for your people – replicate yourself. Your business is bigger than you and should be able to run without you doing anything in it. If it can, you know that you have done a great job as a leader.
- Underestimate the relevance and importance of #remotework at your own peril.
- Where would we be without #technology.
Loss of income
Due to initial hard lockdowns and alcohol bans, freelance copywriter Jazz Kuschke lost a big corporate client in the entertainment industry as a direct result of budget cuts on their side.
After the initial shock, Kuschke approached the situation from a philosophical angle. “When it comes to freelancing, I subscribe to Coughlin’s Law from the 1988 film ‘Cocktail’ … In which bartender Doug Coughlin says: ‘There are only two types of people in the world – the workers; and the hustlers. The workers never hustle, and the hustlers never work’,” he says.
“While it resulted in a significant loss in income over the financial year, it also opened various other opportunities. You have to roll with those punches and bounce back stronger.” According to him it inspired him to hustle just a bit harder and look for writing work in subjects outside of his usual comfort zones.
Emotional burnout
For nearly 6 months, new franchisee Charmaine Nel was working severely long hours in a high stress position, studying on the side and still trying to be a mom to her two young daughters. It was all simply an unsustainable load on her and burnout was unavoidable.
It was negatively impacting her family life and relationships. It even got to a point where her two young daughters were asking her to write them letters just to tell them that she still loves them. The unrealistic hours and unhealthy work-life balance were heavily impacting her mental and physical wellbeing. Even though she gained invaluable experience and knowledge, she went from being an optimistic, passionate, bubbly person to struggling with bouts of depression.
She realised something had to change. “I literally started turning my life around when I joined DoughGetters,” she says. Unfortunately the curveballs kept on coming, with some unexpected emotional challenges.
“Betrayal and lies are some of the things that break us. You start questioning your self worth. What is wrong with me? How could I be so stupid to not see it coming? How could I ever trust again? And just so many why’s…
๏ปฟ
Anyway, it was in the moment of much uncertainty that I decided to take a break, embrace the hurt and clear my head. After giving myself that time to work through, I became intentional to take back control and establish a new plan. And I used a practical tool like Asana, created a project and took action to take back control over my life,” she says.

The 5 Best Ways to Ensure Technology Upgrades Boost Your Accounting Efficiency ๐ฅ
Navigating technology upgrades in accounting can be a game-changer for efficiency, but only if done right! ๐ค
Here's how you can avoid pitfalls and truly capitalise on technological advancements: โฌ๏ธ
โต Clear Communication is Key: Before implementing new systems, ensure everyone involved understands the changes. Clear, concise instructions can prevent a lot of confusion and inefficiencies.

โท Train Your Team Thoroughly: Ensure your team is well-trained on the new systems. Adequate training can make the difference between enhancing capabilities and hindering them.
โธ Evaluate Regularly: Once implemented, regularly evaluate the efficiency of the new technology. This will help you understand if it's meeting your needs or if further adjustments are needed.
โน Stay Informed on Latest Developments: Keep up with the latest in accounting technology to ensure your upgrades are always leading-edge and not just keeping pace.
In our experience at @doughgetters_group, leveraging technology in accounting should simplify your processes, not complicate them. That's why we advocate for a strategic approach to any tech upgrade. ๐

The world of work is evolving fast. ๐จ It’s no longer a question of if—it’s when. From AI advancements to shifting market demands, big changes are already happening, and even bigger ones are on the horizon. To stay ahead, we need to adapt and prepare for jobs and roles that don’t even exist yet.
Here’s how we believe we can stay future-ready:
๐ Develop Empathy and Emotional Intelligence: In a world where AI can handle data, it’s our human touch that makes the difference. Strengthening our emotional intelligence and empathy will keep us relevant and invaluable.
๐ Focus on What AI Can’t Do: Design your career and skills around what only humans can bring—creativity, critical thinking, and interpersonal connection. Machines can’t replace that.
๐ Stay Adaptable and Curious: Reinventing ourselves and embracing lifelong learning is key. The ability to learn, unlearn, and relearn is what will keep us thriving in this new landscape.
The future isn't something we should fear—it's an opportunity waiting to be seized. The more we prepare now, the better we’ll navigate the changes to come. ๐

Stop scrambling for last-minute data entry! Here’s why cloud-based accounting is a game-changer. ๐ค
โบ At DoughGetters, we believe in working smarter, not harder. That’s why we use cloud-based accounting with Xero.

Plus, having access to real-time financial data from anywhere means we’re always on top of our game.

If you think AI is going to take your job, think again.๐ค
AI isn’t here to replace your accountant—it’s here to assist them. ๐ค But like everything, there are pros and cons. Let’s dive in!
On the positive side, AI offers incredible opportunities, like:
1๏ธโฃ Increased Productivity: With AI handling the repetitive stuff, we can focus more on advising clients and solving real business problems.
2๏ธโฃ More Time for Big-Picture Thinking: It frees us up to innovate, build relationships, and use our human touch to drive businesses forward.
3๏ธโฃ Scientific Breakthroughs: AI is pushing boundaries, speeding up advancements in areas like healthcare, which opens doors for business and society alike.
But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. ๐ฉ๏ธ There are some cons to keep in mind:
1๏ธโฃ Over-Reliance on AI: Too much trust in AI without applying human judgment can lead to poor decision-making. We need to keep our critical thinking sharp, this is why we prioritise human relationships.

Who said accountants can’t be lifelong learners? ๐ค
Tax laws and financial regulations are like a never-ending puzzle!
That’s why it’s so important that your accountant stays on top of the latest developments. If they’re not continually learning, how can they ensure your business is ahead of the game?
The best accountants aren’t just number-crunchers; they’re advisors who stay up-to-date with tax law changes, tech advances, and industry trends.
โบ At DoughGetters, we believe that continuous learning is key to delivering fresh insights and innovative solutions.
Whether it’s navigating evolving tax laws or finding better ways to streamline processes with new technology, staying sharp means staying relevant. And that’s how we help our clients make smarter decisions. ๐ฉ

Having a tech-savvy accountant is your time-saving hero.
Attempting to manage accounting in-house can become a time-consuming endeavour, diverting your focus from core business functions. ๐
But here's the good news๐คฉ—scaling businesses don't need to invest in maintaining a full-time finance team. Outsource your finance function so that you can focus on those things that generate well-deserved cash flow for your business.
By outsourcing your finance function to tech-savvy accountants like DoughGetters, you can stay on top of your numbers and tax compliance for a fraction of the investment in your own team!

Here’s the #1 thing that’s overlooked in bookkeeping: ๐ซฃ
Accurate, up-to-date bookkeeping isn't just a nice-to-have—it's a necessity!
When your bookkeeping isn’t on point, you’re not just dealing with numbers—you’re missing critical deadlines, inviting uncertainties, and risking incorrect financial outcomes. ๐ณ
Let us break down the potential disadvantages for you:โฌ๏ธ
โต Limited Business Insights: Without well-organised books, you can't effectively assess your business health or make informed decisions about where to invest your resources.
โถ Difficulty Accessing Credit: Banks and lenders require well-organised financial records to evaluate your creditworthiness. Disorganised books weaken your case for loans or credit lines.
โท Value Erosion: Proper bookkeeping supports a strong and defensible business valuation.
โธ Unnecessary Roadblocks: Poor bookkeeping weakens your defence when you are audited by the tax authorities.
Keep your books clean and your business well-organised. If you need a hand, let’s chat!

Let’s talk about choosing the right accountant.
Before you choose an accountant to partner with, take this into account (yes, pun intended):

See what their clients have to say about them! ๐
๐ Your accounting partner should be more than just a service provider. They should be a partner who takes the time to understand your business, your goals, and your challenges.
They should be committed to your success! ๐

Let's face it – you didn't start your business to become an accountant (unless, of course, you're an accounting firm!). ๐
If you find yourself dedicating more time to managing your finances than focusing on your core business, it might be time to delegate your accounting to someone else. Preferably a professional accountant!
Why this could benefit you๐
By doing so, you can free up valuable time and energy to concentrate on what you do best: growing your business.
Outsourcing your accounting is a strategic decision that can help you
๐ Streamline your operations
๐ Access expert advice
๐ Focus on your core business

Did you know that managing your business finances doesn’t have to be tedious?
Our transformative approach to what is often perceived as a mundane discipline of accounting and bookkeeping has positively impacted many business owners.
๐ฉ Our method goes beyond traditional practices, breathing life into accounting that many find tedious.
One of our clients shared a powerful testament to this transformation: ๐
"You've reshaped my relationship with what it means to have an accountant. Even with SARS, I used to have a negative relationship with them, and because of the way in which we've handled the business and conversations around tax, that has even reshaped that for me. So when I listen to my mom and the relationship she has with her accountant and the way that they run her finances, I'm thinking, 'What are you doing?' It's just not right. I would like for her to have the same experience as I have had, and also, I know I can trust you to look after her business well."
It's not just about keeping books and filing taxes; it's about creating a relationship where our clients feel understood, supported, and confident in their financial journey. ๐ธ
Through our innovative and client-centric approach, we turn the 'boring๐ฅฑ' into something empowering and integral to the success of businesses. ๐คฉ
This is the DoughGetters difference – transforming perceptions, relationships, and ultimately, business outcomes.

Does this sound like you? ๐
As a small business owner or entrepreneur, you've likely worn many hats while growing your venture, and that includes managing your finances. But…there comes a time when you might consider outsourcing your accounting to the pros.
The question is, when is the right time to make this move? ๐ฑ
โก๏ธ When you find yourself spending more time on bookkeeping than on growing your business, it might be time to consider outsourcing your accounting.
Growth is exciting, but it also brings added complexity to your financial management. As your business expands, you'll likely see an increase in transactions, expenses, and perhaps even employees.
โก๏ธ When you need to make complex financial decisions it might be a good idea to outsource for a guiding and supporting accountant partner.
There's no shame in admitting that you're not a financial expert – after all, you're an entrepreneur! As your business evolves, you may find yourself in need of expert advice on tax planning, cash flow management, or financial reporting.
โก๏ธ When scaling you operation. It's essential to have a clear understanding of your cash flow, profit margins, and financial forecasts before you take the next big step.
Scaling your business requires a solid financial foundation, and that means having reliable and accurate financial data at your fingertips. ๐

This might be challenging for you to hear๐
In the intricate world of financial management, bookkeeping and accounting demand not just a keen eye for detail but a real passion too. Sometimes, it can feel a bit overwhelming, but hey, that’s part of the challenge!
Despite this, you might even opt to tackle these tasks yourself. And we assume this might be some of your reasons:
๐ Cost concerns or hesitation to invest in high-quality services;
๐ Desire for full control;
๐ Perceived simplicity of tasks believing you can manage as well, if not better than, experienced accountants;
๐ Privacy and trust issues: and
๐ Lack of awareness of accounting complexity.
Yet, this approach often overlooks a crucial truth:
โก๏ธ Solid financial management
Without this foundation, the entire structure of financial insights becomes precarious.
The consequences of inaccuracies are significant, including:
๐ซ Cash flow mismanagement
๐ซ Tax compliance issues
๐ซ Reduced investor or lender confidence
๐ซ Damaged reputation
๐ซ Internal confusion and low morale
๐ซ Long-term strategy setbacks
When you cannot trust the numbers reflecting your business’s performance, you lose grip on your financial reins. This uncertainty, coupled with the fear of tax-related consequences, only heightens your anxiety, deepening your sense of being overwhelmed and out of control. ๐ฃ
In such a scenario, the need for reliable and professional financial management becomes not just a preference, but a necessity for the health and growth of your business. WE can help you here at DoughGetters!

Marilie La Grange | Founder of Nyfti Business Services.
Marilie’s journey of entrepreneurship happened by accident and was born from pure desperation. Together with millions of other people, Marilie was left jobless during the 2020 pandemic and had to quickly reinvent herself to maintain some sort of income and took on any random piece of work that anyone could offer. After a lot of sweat and tears, loss, burnout, anxiety and depression - Nyfti was born.
Since then…
๐ Nyfti has been chosen as the Xero South African App Integrator of the Year in 2023 and second place in 2024
and also..
๐ Nyfti had the honour of being chosen as one of Xero’s preferred implementation partners for the Xero Practice Management software.
Marilie has always been an overachiever and perfectionist which can clearly be seen in everything she does. What makes Marilie unique is her charismatic personality, optimistic realism and brutal honesty - what you see is what you get!
Come find her at The ABC’s: Authentic Business Conversations on August 6! ๐

This event is more than just a networking opportunity! ๐ฅ
It’s an event designed to celebrate, connect, and inspire women in business.
Meet Suzi McAfee | Lead Designer of Monarch Woodworx | Furniture brand based in George.
๐ฎ๐ช Originally from Ireland, Suzi has been in South Africa since 2008.
She moved to George with her husband to set up an NPO that began as a small sports programme and has evolved into a high school for underprivileged.
She only began woodworking in 2019 and what started as an instagram page and side hustle has grown into a popular furniture brand Monarch Woodworx.
Pieces are designed and made at the Monarch workshop in George and shipped throughout the country and worldwide. ๐คฉ
โก๏ธ Monarch Woodworx produces its own line of furniture as well as custom commissions for individuals and designers for residential and commercial projects.
It is the long term goal of Monarch Woodworx to link her two passions and inspire and uplift others in the field of woodwork and furniture making and to create jobs in the local George community.
She has two children and is involved with the fund-raising for George Royal Academy and in leadership at her local church so she is familiar with the challenge of the daily juggle of priorities and the mental tug of war that exists when you run your own business.

How DOES she do it all??๐ฅ
Introducing Paulette Calitz! | Co-owner of Hadassa Collection ๐
Paulette grew up on George soil and studied in Potchefstroom; the world of fashion and business have always enticed her, and she entered it through the trainee buyer programme at Truworths.
After 5 years of being a buyer, she moved over to The Foschini Group as a senior buyer and later became Buying Manager for the Sports Division working with brands like Nike, Adidas and Puma.
She left the corporate world in 2018 with the birth of her second child and consulted other local brands in social media and buying best practices.
After being presented with the opportunity to take over the Hadassa brand in 2023 – she and her best friend from university days, Berdine Swart, took the leap!
“We both deeply love colour, exploring new places and discovering beauty all around us. We love to encourage women to embrace their full potential. We share a love and hope in our country, its people, and the incredible local wares they produce. Hadassa is not just about us - it is your journey as well! It’s about bringing to life that which might have been buried, celebrating the beauty God has created, clothing one another in grace and supporting our local communities.”
Paulette is also a mother of three (busy) children and married to the trail running athlete / lawyer AJ Calitz.

VAT does that mean? ๐ง Understanding your business finances is like mastering a new language. Let's break it down:
๐ Assets are everything that your business owns. They're the resources you have at your disposal to generate income. Assets can be tangible, like buildings and equipment, or intangible, like trademarks and patents.
๐ Liabilities are what your business owes to others. This can include loans, accounts payable, and salaries payable. As a business owner, it's crucial to manage your liabilities effectively to maintain healthy cash flow.
๐ Equity, often referred to as 'owner's equity', is the value of an owner's interest in the business. It's calculated by subtracting liabilities from assets. The resulting figure represents the net assets of the business.
๐ Income, or revenue, is the money your business earns from selling goods or services. It's the lifeline of your business and the primary source of your cash flow.
๐ Expenses are the costs incurred to generate income. They can be divided into two categories: operating expenses (like rent and salaries) and non-operating expenses (like interest on loans).
๐ A balance sheet is a financial statement that gives you a snapshot of your business's financial health at a specific point in time. It shows your assets, liabilities, and equity.

What is Provisional Tax?
It's a method of paying your tax liability in advance, to ensure that you don't have a large tax debt at the end of the tax year.
Think of it as paying tax as you earn. ๐ฐ
It's due twice a year in South Africa – end of August and end of February. ๐ฟ๐ฆ
๐ The next deadline is coming up on the 29th of February!

Imagine your business starts off small, and you're only managing a few different expenses, a couple of revenue streams, and some basic tax considerations. Something you can comfortably handle, right?โ
โ
Now, picture your business suddenly expanding - the increased sales and revenues are great, but they also bring about more complexities.โ
โ
More sales often mean increased operational expenses, like purchasing more stock or hiring more staff. Multiple revenue streams can complicate how you track incoming money, and larger revenues can potentially move you into a higher tax bracket, which could mean new tax implications to consider.โ
โ
If your business is not prepared to manage this rapid growth, you might find your financial management becoming overwhelming, much like a sudden crowd in a quiet doughnut shop. โ
โ
That's why planning for growth is important and why getting professional accounting help might be necessary as your business expands. Our expert team will handle your bookkeeping, tax preparation, and financial reporting, so you can focus on what you do best – growing your business and pursuing your passions! โ
โ
Let's take a bite out of those overwhelming financial tasks together! ๐โ

While we all dream of a world where every customer pays on time, it's not always the reality. But ‘doughn’t’ worry, we’ve got you covered with our steps on how to manage these challenges effectively, keeping your business' cash flow healthy!โ
โ
๐ฉ Set Clear Payment Terms: The first step in combating late payments is prevention. Clearly outline your payment terms on every invoice you send. Make sure your customers know exactly when payment is due and what methods of payment are accepted.โ
โ
๐ฉ Automate Invoice Reminders: Make use of digital invoicing and accounting software to set up automatic reminders for upcoming and overdue invoices. This will save you time and increase your chances of being paid promptly.โ
โ
๐ฉ Follow Up: If a payment is late, don’t hesitate to follow up with a polite reminder. A simple email or phone call can often prompt customers to pay.โ
โ
๐ฉ Consider Late Payment Charges: While it might seem harsh, a late payment fee can be a deterrent for chronic late payers. Be sure to clearly state any late payment penalties in your terms and conditions.โ
โ
๐ฉ Offer Payment Plans: For clients struggling with financial difficulties, consider offering a payment plan. This allows them to pay off the invoice over time and ensures you still receive your money, albeit slower.โ
โ
Remember, prevention is better than cure. Implementing a robust invoicing system and fostering good relationships with customers can greatly reduce the occurrence of late payments. With the right strategies in place, you can keep your cash flowing and your business growing!โ
