Go to CabanFrequently asked questions
Short, plain answers to what South African business owners ask us most.
What is the Attorneys Trust Account Audit?
Practices that hold money in trust must have their trust accounts audited each year. TBL Accounting does not perform the audit. We keep trust and business account reconciliations and audit-ready records year-round so your auditor can finish without delay.
How do you keep business and trust accounts separate?
We reconcile trust and business accounts separately and support Section 86 investment oversight, so the boundary between them stays clean.
How does accounting affect my Fidelity Fund Certificate?
Legal Practice Act and Fidelity Fund compliance depends on proper trust accounting. We support that compliance so your certificate is never put at risk by poor records.
Can you help with partner buy-ins and profit sharing?
Yes for partnership and profit-share structuring and succession and partner buy-in planning. Mergers between firms are transactions and sit with Caban Corporate Advisors.
