Experience and previous employment
RMS Chartered Accountants (SA)
RMS CA (SA) is a small accounting firm where I worked as an article clerk for three years. The experience I gained there included all types of data capturing on Pastel, reconciling debtors, creditors, bank accounts, drawing up financial statements in Caseware and doing statutory audits as required by the Companies Act. My work also included tax planning and tax computation for my various clients as well as payroll, computation of PAYE and VAT.
SAB&T Chartered Accountants (SA)
SAB&T CA (SA) is a medium sized, black empowered audit firm situated in Centurion. Here I worked on larger companies and I did a lot of audit work. I also had some exposure to doing monthly financial management for companies. I worked at SAB&T for 1 year and 6 months.
Institutions
I am also currently registered with the South African Institute of Business Accountants as a practicing accountant. And I am registered with SARS as a Tax Practitioner.
My Own Business – Bizz Acc
While completing my articles I decided that I have a passion for working with small to medium sized businesses and decided to open my own accounting practice which has been running since October 2007. While being on my own I have built up a client base of small companies, for whom I do the entire accounting function from bookkeeping to tax planning, annual financial statements and general financial advice. I also have a few larger companies for whom I do internal audit work on a monthly basis, assisting them in writing systems and fine tuning their businesses.
Clients I have worked with
The clients I have worked with include a large range of businesses; ranging from engineering firms, insurance brokers, training, consulting firms, pharmaceutical companies, transport, advertising and general trading. And turnovers I have worked with range from small companies that turn under R 1,000,000 per annum up to medium sized companies turning R 90,000,000.
Employees
Presently I have two young accountants working with me and I have an assistant doing all my taxation and secretarial administration. We are a great team and I work closely with them.
I hope you will consider me and my team to assist you with your accounting needs.
