About

Hi, I'm Angelique

I started Sumrise with a simple belief: small business owners deserve an accountant who picks up the phone, explains things clearly, and never lets a SARS deadline slip by.

When you work with Sumrise you work with me directly. I come to your business, get to know how it runs, keep your books in order and take care of VAT and SARS, so you can get back to running the business you love.

Do I need to register for VAT?

It depends on your turnover. Registration becomes compulsory once your taxable sales pass the SARS threshold within a 12-month period, and you can choose to register voluntarily below that. We'll look at your numbers and tell you honestly whether it makes sense.

How often do VAT returns have to be submitted?

Most small businesses submit a VAT201 every two months, but SARS assigns your tax period when you register. We keep track of your due dates and submit on time.

I want to import goods. What do I need?

You'll need to be registered with SARS Customs as an importer before your goods arrive. We prepare and submit the registration for you and tell you exactly which documents to have ready.

Can you help if my books are behind?

Yes. We regularly help businesses catch up on months of unrecorded transactions and outstanding SARS returns, then keep everything up to date from there.

Do you come to my business?

Yes. We're happy to meet you at your office, shop or workshop, whether it's for a first chat, to collect documents or to go through your numbers. If a visit isn't practical, a phone or video call works just as well.

How do I send you my documents?

Whatever is easiest for you: email, WhatsApp, a shared cloud folder, or we collect them when we visit your business. Bank statements, invoices and slips are usually all we need to get started.
