Zar Media Group is a Cape Town-based team that builds and manages POPIA-conscious client document portals and firm websites for accounting, tax, and bookkeeping practices. Plans from R2,999/month, portals on your own domain, and support in your timezone — for firms across the Cape Town metro and the rest of South Africa.
Most portal software is American: billed in USD, supported nine timezones away, with client data on US servers. For a practice handling South African tax records, three local factors change the decision.
Many international SaaS portals store client documents on US servers. A locally built portal can keep records on South African or EU-based infrastructure — an easier POPIA position for a practice holding ID numbers and financial records.
USD-billed subscriptions rise every time the rand weakens. Our plans are priced and billed in rand — from R2,999/month — so your portal cost is the same in month 14 as in month 1.
Walkthroughs, configuration, and monthly reviews happen over video during South African business hours — with a team based in Cape Town, not a ticket queue nine timezones away.
