Bookkeeping that doesn't hate you back.
Boekly is the AI bookkeeper built for South African small businesses. Live SARS bill on your home screen. Receipts that file themselves. VAT201 in one tap. From R149 a month.
This is the dashboard. Yes, really. No more shoebox of slips on the 28th.
The boring part, automated. The scary part, demystified.
Your live SARS bill, on the home screen
Open Boekly and the first thing you see is what you'd owe SARS today — VAT, income tax, the lot. No surprises in February. No coffee-spilling Hellopeter moments.
Snap a slip. We'll do the boring part.
Photograph a till slip, forward a supplier invoice email, drop a PDF — Boekly reads it, categorises it, claims the VAT and matches it to your bank. You scroll past.
Your bank statement, reconciled to the cent.
Drop a PDF or CSV statement from your bank. Boekly reads it, checks it balances to the cent, and reconciles every line against your invoices and expenses.
Ask your books anything.
"How much did I spend on fuel in Q1?" "Who owes me the most right now?" Type a question, get an answer. Like having a finance nerd on tap, minus the small talk.
VAT201 and provisional tax — worked out, not dreaded.
Boekly builds your VAT201 and provisional-tax working papers from what you've already captured — SARS-ready to paste into eFiling in minutes. One-tap submission from inside Boekly lands once our SARS ISV status comes through.
Made in South Africa. For South Africa.
Rands by default, March year-end by default, 15% VAT by default, plain-English everywhere. Built in Cape Town and served from af-south-1. POPIA-compliant from day one.

The short answers.
Is Boekly actually available yet?
Not yet — Boekly is in private beta and still closed. Join the waitlist and you'll be first in line when we open to the public.
What banks do you support?
You import statements as PDF or CSV, so any bank that lets you export one works — the parser reads the statement format rather than integrating per bank. Boekly reconciles it to the cent. Live auto-feeds are on the roadmap.
Can my accountant still see everything?
Yes. On the Pro plan you can invite your bookkeeper or CA into your workspace with their own seat and audit-log access. No more emailing CSVs back and forth.
Will Boekly file my VAT201 with SARS?
We're applying for SARS ISV (Independent Software Vendor) status. While that's in flight we generate a return you can paste into eFiling in under a minute; one-tap submission goes live the moment SARS signs us off.
What if I'm coming from Xero / Sage / QuickBooks / Pastel?
We're building one-click importers for each. In the meantime, our concierge migration is free for the first three months of customers.
Where's my data hosted?
The app is served from AWS af-south-1 (Cape Town). Your books live in a managed Postgres database in AWS eu-north-1 (Stockholm), with daily encrypted backups. Our privacy policy covers how we handle cross-border processing.
