The junior capacity you can’t hire. The working paper quality you need.
You review. You sign. You keep the client relationship. We handle the production. AI produces the working paper pack - a CA(SA) reviews it, and it goes straight into your review queue. Basic work same day. AFS compilations within 48 hours. Built to your house standard.
First engagement, zero risk.
We produce the deliverable. You evaluate it against your own standard. Pay only if it meets that standard.
Book a 20-minute callThe staffing problem is not getting better.
The talent pipeline is contracting. Junior candidates cost more than they produce, churn within two years, and need supervision that eats partner time. You are billing work at a rate that should have been done by a trainee - because there is no trainee available.
The backlog is real. AFS compilations sitting four weeks past deadline. New clients turned away because you have no capacity to take them on. Partners doing production work on Friday afternoons.
Brincker & Co is not a software subscription. You engage us per file, the same way you would engage a specialist subcontractor. Send us a trial balance. We return a complete, reviewer-ready working paper pack within 48 hours. You review it against your own standard. You pay only if it meets that standard.
How we work.
- 01
You send us the trial balance, prior year AFS, and basic entity details. We confirm scope and issue a fixed-fee quote within one business day.
- 02
We produce a complete working paper pack - lead schedules, trial balance reconciliation, adjusting journals, IFRS for SMEs disclosures, Companies Act 2008 referenced, cross-indexed, disclosure-complete.
- 03
You receive it within 48 hours and review against your own standard.
- 04
If it meets your standard, we invoice. If it does not, you pay nothing. That is the entire risk structure.
Built to your review standard, not ours.
Every working paper pack we produce follows the same structure your team already reviews. Lead schedules, trial balance reconciliation, adjusting journal entries, note disclosures referenced to the Companies Act 2008, and a finalisation checklist. We do not produce a foreign format that your team has to relearn. We produce what you already expect - faster and without the staffing constraint.
Built with SARS practice notes, Companies Act 2008, and SA-specific tax case law embedded. Not a US tool adapted for SA. Built here.
Who signs every file.
Peter Brincker
Chartered Accountant · Big Four trained
Trained at PwC. Years in FP&A across listed mining, pharmaceutical, insurance, and industrial groups. He reviews every working paper pack before it leaves us - not as a final check, but as a CA-level review on top of what the system already produces. Every file that reaches your review queue has already been reviewed by a qualified CA.
The system Peter reviews was built by Neil Brincker (Azure AI Engineer Associate) - purpose-built for SA professional services compliance from the ground up, not adapted from a US product.
What it costs.
All fees are fixed and quoted before we start. AFS fees are determined by turnover band and adjusted for transaction volume, prior year adjustments, and disclosure requirements. You get a number before we touch the file.
Questions we get asked.
Peter Brincker CA(SA) reviews every working paper pack before it leaves us. You are the second set of eyes, not the first. If the output falls short of your standard, you don't pay. That is not a marketing claim - it is the entire commercial structure of the first engagement.
All client data is processed in a secure, encrypted environment. We sign a confidentiality agreement before receiving anything. Your client never knows we exist unless you choose to tell them.
We are a professional services firm. You engage us as a production subcontractor. We work inside your file structure and deliver to your house standards. The relationship looks like a subcontract, not a software licence.
AFS compilation: R5,500 – R18,000 per private company entity, fixed fee, quoted before we start. The fee is determined by turnover band - under R5m, R5m–R20m, or R20m+ - and adjusted for transaction volume, prior year adjustments, and disclosure complexity. Working paper pack only: R4,500 – R9,000. We will give you a number before we touch the file.
