Financial consulting · Pretoria, Menlyn
We sit down with South African business owners and families, untangle the figures that keep you up at night, and hand you a plan you can actually act on. No jargon, no guesswork — just the honest arithmetic behind every good decision.
How we work with you
Whether you need a single expert opinion or a hand on the wheel all year round, there's a format that fits the stage you're at.
A focused 90-minute deep-dive into one pressing question — a purchase, a restructure, a shortfall. You leave with a written summary and a clear next step. Ideal for owners who need a second, expert opinion before they commit.
From R2 950 once-offOngoing counsel with a named consultant who knows your numbers by heart. Monthly review meetings, cash-flow forecasting and a phone line you can actually reach. Our most-chosen format for growing businesses.
RetainerA defined piece of work with a start and a finish — a funding application, a due-diligence exercise, a full financial model. Fixed scope, fixed fee, delivered by a small senior team.

Before you book
A Clarity Session is 90 minutes of focused, practical work. Here's exactly what you walk away holding.
We map your real income and outflows so you can see, often for the first time, the true shape of your month rather than the story your bank balance tells.
Every big call — hire, buy, expand, wait — turns on a single figure. We find yours and stress-test it against a good month and a bad one.
What you owe, when, and the legitimate levers available to you. No schemes — just the structuring that any competent CA would put on the table.
You leave with a one-page summary in your inbox: what we discussed, what we recommend, and the very next action to take — dated and specific.
