Had a security incident last night, almost had someone coming into my flat while sleeping, luckily woke up and shouted at person that ran away. Was told to get an alarm as it is safer. I'm in a flat complex. I am often away from my flat, so need something that I can get monitoring on my phone if possible?

We are very small business with not many transactions happening at present. Our past accountant didn't fulfil their role properly and so we have a bag log of work that need to be done and Brough up to date. We are looking for someone to bring us up to date and help us maintain compliance and records.
The property consists of 3 bedroom house and then there is a 2 bedroom granny flat that I would like to have security system installed as well as armed responses. Possibly a system that can be controlled from the telephone to switch certain sections on and off at times. Outside beams maybe x4, Door protection x 9 then inside eyes possible x 4. Maybe you guys can assist with the details. Thanks
We are looking to change our current auditors of 20 years due to changed circumstances. The current work consists of: 1. Income tax return (SAAFFI is tax exempt) in June/July 2. Submission of the annual NPO report (written by us) to the department of Social Development 3. Preparation of the annual financials and signing off once approved by the AGM in mid January. SAAFFI does not employ anyone so there is no PAYE or UIF etc.
We need a company that specialises in small businesses. We had a book keeper consultant but find they are not giving us the service we need. We will require someone to assist our admin lady in understanding how to do the VAT returns and then a service that does our tax returns etc and can guide us on all the financials. We have very recently become VAT registered and are aware that we are not doing it properly. company name is Harper Sports Cars.
I'm a Trustee for our Body Corporate and our AGM will be held soon, before the end of July. I only wish to have a suitable quote to present at the AGM. My thoughts are to have a surveillance pole that covers Summer Place and Glendale remote gates and also cover the front wall, facing Topham road. This would be - 52 / 54 Topham road. Another thought - only surveillance coverage for certain hours? Possibly eg. daily from 10 pm to 4 am. This is just a thought and your input would be much appreciated. With all the overall high price increases - we can only afford to pay what is really necessary for certain hours - although I do realise that the daytime is just as bad. A separate thought:- Our 2 complexes are situated just across from Girls High School - their back entrance/exit into Topham road. Possibly a surveillance pole that would cover the back entrance/exit of the school as well? These separate quotes can be submitted at our AGM and we could then enquire as well if the School would be interested - should the quotes be very reasonable. With thanks,
Good day. I am a small business currently using Quickbooks based in Johannesburg. I need monthly bookkeeping services. Please advise if you do the bookkeeping in Quickbooks? I have minimal transactions transactions in the business currently (mainly about 10 or so monthly expenses), one or two transactions of revenue per month. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards,
