What we do.

We reject the standard audit / tax / advisory trinity that every other CA firm uses, in favour of five pillars that reflect the full scope of work we do and where we differ from competitors.

01
Audit & Assurance
Statutory audits, independent reviews, agreed-upon procedures, internal audit, business valuations, sustainability and integrated reporting assurance, and ISAE 3000 / ISAE 3402 attestation engagements. External audit work delivered in conjunction with our associate registered audit firm.
02
Accounting & Finance
Bookkeeping, management accounts, annual financial statements, VAT and payroll compliance, IFRS-compliant consolidations, multi-entity reporting, and outsourced finance director work. Everything from the founder-led books up to the boardroom.
03
Tax & Structuring
Corporate and individual tax, provisional tax, dividend and salary optimisation, group structuring, SARS dispute resolution, and company secretarial (CIPC) services.
04
Systems & Automation
ERP optimisation, finance automation, AI-augmented engagements, and finance process redesign. Modern delivery, not modern marketing.
05
Cybersecurity & IT Assurance
Cybersecurity risk assessments, ISO 27001 readiness, POPIA assurance, and IT general controls reviews aligned to ISA 315 and CISA practice standards. Audit-grade discipline applied to the cyber question.

Audit and assurance services are delivered in conjunction with our associate registered audit firm. The two firms work as a coordinated team on the client engagement; contracting and the audit opinion sit with the registered audit firm.
