Vetted accountants in Harare
A Zimbabwean accountant handles bookkeeping, ZIMRA tax filing and returns, statutory audits, payroll and company registration. Public practice and audit work require registration with the Public Accountants and Auditors Board, and most practising accountants also hold a professional body membership such as ICAZ.
Harare is Zimbabwe's capital and the seat of the High Court, the Deeds Registry and most professional registering bodies, so property, estate and company matters are usually handled here regardless of where the property sits.
How this directory is different: We confirm registration with the Public Accountants and Auditors Board and, where claimed, membership of ICAZ or an equivalent professional body — at source, with the body itself.

Instructing an accountant from abroad
Accounting is the easiest professional relationship to run remotely, because the work product is documents. Records can be shared electronically and returns filed online. What still needs a physical presence is ZIMRA counter work and bank mandates — agree upfront who does those and whether it is included in the quote.
What to watch for
If you own a business or rental property in Zimbabwe and returns have not been filed for some years, ask for the remediation to be quoted separately from the ongoing work. The two have very different costs, and a single blended figure makes it impossible to tell whether you are being charged fairly for either.
Questions about accountants in Harare
- How do I choose between accountants in Harare?
- Start from a shortlist that has already been credential-checked, then judge on the reply rather than the profile. Send the same description of the work to two or three and compare what comes back: a quote that names its scope, its exclusions and a timeline tells you more than any listing does. If you own a business or rental property in Zimbabwe and returns have not been filed for some years, ask for the remediation to be quoted separately from the ongoing work. The two have very different costs, and a single blended figure makes it impossible to tell whether you are being charged fairly for either.
- Does it cost anything to contact accountants in Harare through Nhaka Yako?
- No. Searching the directory and requesting quotes is free, and you are under no obligation to accept one. We take no commission on the work and we hold no money — you pay the professional directly, and their email address and phone number are published on their listing, so you are never locked into going through us.
- Do the accountants listed in Harare work outside the city?
- Often, yes — many take work across the province and some act nationally, particularly where the matter is handled through an office or registry in Harare regardless of where the property or family is. It is not automatic, so say where the work actually is in your first message. A professional who cannot cover it will tell you rather than quote for it, and you can then look at a neighbouring city.
- Can a Zimbabwean accountant file my ZIMRA returns while I live abroad?
- Yes. ZIMRA returns are filed electronically and an accountant can be appointed to file on your behalf. You will need to be registered with ZIMRA and to authorise the accountant as your representative. Counter attendance is occasionally still required, so confirm who handles that.
- Do I pay tax in Zimbabwe on rent from a property I own there?
- Rental income arising in Zimbabwe is generally taxable in Zimbabwe regardless of where you live, and there may also be an obligation where you are resident. An accountant can confirm what applies to your case and whether a double-taxation agreement is relevant. Do not assume living abroad removes the Zimbabwean obligation.
- Who can audit a company in Zimbabwe?
- Statutory audit is restricted to auditors registered with the Public Accountants and Auditors Board. A bookkeeper or unregistered accountant may prepare accounts but cannot sign an audit opinion.
- How much does an accountant in Zimbabwe cost?
- There is no fixed price. Bookkeeping is usually quoted monthly against transaction volume, company registration as a one-off, and audit against the size and state of the records. Describe what you need and you will receive a written quote with a defined scope.
