Overview of Innovator

Bathobile’s Bookkeeping Services is a cloud-based bookkeeping firm dedicated to supporting micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in managing their day-to-day financial operations. We utilize industry-leading accounting software, including Sage and Xero, to offer comprehensive bookkeeping, accounting, taxation, payroll, and business administration services.

Our goal is to help business owners transition into the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) by digitizing their financial records, ensuring compliance, and enabling easy access to funding.

The Problem

Nearly 50% of small businesses fail within their first two years—not due to a lack of potential but because of poor financial management. Many entrepreneurs struggle with record-keeping, leaving them non-compliant and unable to access funding opportunities. This financial mismanagement often leads to business closure or deregistration.

Our Solution

We provide affordable, cloud-based accounting systems tailored to suit different business needs and budgets. Additionally, we have developed a user-friendly bookkeeping app for entrepreneurs who lack access to laptops or advanced computer skills. This app allows business owners to:

  • Track financial performance in real-time
  • Maintain accurate financial records
  • Make informed, strategic business decisions
