01
Clear day-to-day workflow
Create the document you actually need — a quote, invoice, receipt, bill or payment — and let the accounting follow from it.
Now available · Accounting software for small and growing businesses
Accounting that makes sense.
Quote, invoice, manage supplier bills, plan payments, work through banking, account for VAT and stay on top of what needs attention — while proper double-entry accounting works quietly underneath.
Simple on the surface. Proper double-entry underneath.

Why CG Accounting
Your accounting system shouldn’t become another job.
CG Accounting is built for businesses that need proper financial records without burying everyday work beneath accounting jargon and unnecessary complexity.
02
One connected record
Transactions remain linked to their source documents and accounting entries, so you can follow what happened without piecing together separate systems.
03
Controls where they matter
Posted accounting history is protected. Reversals, closed periods and audit records preserve the story instead of quietly rewriting it.
04
Useful financial visibility
Move from day-to-day transactions to trial balance, income statement, balance sheet and ledger detail in the same system.
Core features
The essentials, connected properly.
CG Accounting brings together the work a small or growing business does every week — with proper accounting structure behind every posted transaction.
Quote to cash
Create quotes, securely capture acceptance, convert accepted quotes to invoices, record customer receipts and preserve the full transaction trail.
Bills, planning & payments
Capture supplier bills, prepare planned payments, move approved plans into editable payment drafts and keep allocations and corrections traceable.
Banking Assistant + Bank Rules
Work from imported bank evidence, review suggested matches and reuse approved classification patterns while keeping posting and reconciliation under explicit control.
Proper double-entry
Balanced journals, protected posting, reversals and period controls sit underneath the simpler operational screens.
Financial statements + cash visibility
Review the core financial statements, drill into ledger entries and see the current cash position with a short-term 7 / 30 / 60 / 90-day outlook.
Audit-ready history
Structured activity history, accounting change visibility and tamper-evident audit integrity support a trustworthy financial record.
Less repetitive work. More control.
Let the system prepare the work — without hiding the accounting.
CG Accounting helps surface what needs attention, prepares repeat transactions, supports payment planning, remembers approved banking patterns and improves short-term cash visibility. Automation prepares and suggests; issuing, posting, allocation and reconciliation remain controlled actions.
Daily Action Centre
See overdue customer balances, unreconciled banking, pending approvals, VAT-related work, period-close issues and other exceptions that need attention.
Recurring transactions
Schedule repeat sales invoices and supplier bills. When the next one is due, CG Accounting prepares an editable draft for review instead of silently issuing or posting it.
Payment Planning
Prepare supplier-payment plans before money is posted. An approved plan can hand off into an editable payment draft for final review and processing.
Banking Assistant
Use imported bank evidence to help match activity and prepare safe receipt or payment draft handoffs while keeping the source bank record authoritative.
Bank Rules
Reuse approved classification patterns to reduce repetitive bank coding. A rule can suggest the next treatment, but the suggestion remains reviewable before accounting is committed.
Cash position + forecast
See today’s cash position together with expected inflows and outflows across the next 7, 30, 60 and 90 days for a clearer short-term view.
VAT accounting
Apply VAT through sales invoices, supplier bills, sales credit notes and supplier credits while keeping the tax treatment connected to the accounting record.
Automatic SARS return submission or eFiling is not currently included in the public feature set.
Built properly underneath
Simple does not have to mean shallow.
The clean interface is only the top layer. Underneath it, CG Accounting applies the controls expected from a proper double-entry accounting system.
