In today’s business landscape, finance teams are under more pressure than ever, to close faster, stay compliant, manage cash with precision, and deliver real-time insight to leadership. Yet many still battle through outdated systems, manual reconciliations, and the daily chaos of fragmented data.
CoreSync’s Accounting as a Service (AaaS) and Payroll as a Service (PaaS) models are built to end that struggle, providing a comprehensive, fully managed finance function that combines people, process, and technology in one seamless service.
Led by Benise Coetzee, Practice Manager for Accounting & Payroll as a Service, our dedicated team of accountants, payroll professionals, and cloud-finance specialists now deliver the full range of accounting and payroll functions, tailored to each client’s scale and complexity.
A complete accounting function, redefined
When you partner with CoreSync, you’re not outsourcing “bookkeeping.” You’re gaining an entire accounting department, powered by South Africa’s most certified Sage Intacct team and backed by best-practice financial controls.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
1. Transaction processing & bookkeeping
From capturing daily transactions to managing ledgers and journals, CoreSync ensures every financial movement is recorded accurately, timeously, and in compliance with recognised accounting standards. Automation eliminates manual duplication, while human oversight guarantees accuracy and context.
- Supplier invoice capture & coding

- Expense claim management
- Journal entries & month-end adjustments
- Bank feed reconciliation
Every entry is verified, categorised, and linked to real-time dashboards, giving you visibility across every rand and cent.
2. Accounts payable & supplier management
Late payments damage relationships and early payments impact cash flow. CoreSync’s accounts payable process strikes the perfect balance.
We manage the end-to-end supplier lifecycle, from purchase order to payment, ensuring accuracy, approval control, and timely settlement.
- Supplier onboarding & document verification
- Invoice matching & approval routing

3. Accounts receivable & cash-flow management
Cash is the lifeblood of every organisation. CoreSync makes sure it flows smoothly.
Our A/R team manages the full credit-to-cash cycle, invoicing, collections, and customer account management, supported by automated reminders, digital statements, and detailed aging analyses.
