RLP Accounting & Tax Services is a full-service tax and accounting firm in the Cape Town CBD. For years we’ve carried owner-run businesses through every SARS season without the panic, and we now do the same for companies many times that size. Same office. Same phone. Same people who answer it.
What we do
Six disciplines.
One team accountable for all of them.
Everything a South African business needs to stay clean with SARS and clear on its own numbers. Take one service or take the lot; either way you deal with the same people every month.

Partners & accreditations
Certified where it counts.
Fluent in whatever you already run.
We’re registered with the bodies that hold accountants to a standard, and we work inside the software your business already uses instead of asking you to move. If your books live on any of these, we can pick them up exactly as they are.

Client story
RLP has been a trusted accounting partner for many years, providing accurate financial management, reliable support, and outstanding service. Their professionalism and commitment have made them a valued part of our business.
Beyond the Cape
South African based, with a global footprint.
Our clients don’t all bank in rands. We have the experience and the capacity to handle work that crosses borders: foreign income, group structures spanning more than one country, and exchange-control compliance. All of it filed from Cape Town, on South African deadlines.
How we work
Three ways to reach us. All of them end in a human.
No ticket numbers, no call queue, no account manager who leaves in March. You get the people doing your work, on whichever channel suits you, and you keep them year after year. That’s the whole reason clients stay.
Start here
Send us the problem.
We’ll send back a plan.
Start the journey with a conversation. Tell us where the business stands today and where you want it to be, and we’ll map out what it takes to get there. Fill this in, or skip it and message us. Both land with a person.
Come see us
Our door is always open.
