Request a quoteI used them for initial work but then moved to another accountant.
Things went very well in the beginning but started lacking in terms of communication - whenever they needed something from me they would reach me but whenever I wanted to speak with them I could never get hold of anybody. This lack of communication then led to lack of trust so I just decided to move on because I cannot work like that.
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any communication issues you experienced. We constantly review our processes to improve client communication and ensure better accessibility. Your input is invaluable, and we appreciate the opportunity to learn and grow.
5 out of 5!
Thank you!

Services:
Request a quoteShe was professional and tried to assist, but at the end came back and said we have to go ourselves to SARS. Something I thought she should have known beforehand when I requested if the service can be done. So we ended up doing it ourselves.
Just the fact that I assumed that the professional should know these things beforehand and not have wasted our time. She also gave a list of what would be required by SARS, but omitted to say employee contract should be included, which meant we had to go for a second time to SARS
Tariro answered emails promptly. The service was excellent and very professional.

He was very friendly and super helpful. My tax for this year was incredibly simple so he very happily explained how I could do it myself to save time and money. I’m so grateful for his help and I wouldn't hesitate to contact him again for help in the future. 10/10, would recommend him to anyone and everyone.
