We provide accounting and bookkeeping, taxation and payroll, company secretarial and CIPC services, and advisory services including business valuations, due diligence, financial modelling and fractional CFO support. Our full service range and indicative fees are set out on our Services and Fees page.

Our offices are in Mindalore, Krugersdorp, Johannesburg. We act for clients throughout South Africa, across the African continent and internationally, including practices and businesses in the United Kingdom and the United States. Most engagements are conducted remotely, and meetings can be held in person by arrangement.

We act for clients ranging from sole proprietors and owner-managed businesses through to established corporates and international practices. Our accounting packages are tiered by annual turnover, and we will advise which tier is appropriate once we understand your circumstances.

Fees are quoted in writing before work commences. Depending on the engagement we work on a fixed fee, a monthly retainer or an hourly basis. Indicative ranges for each service are published on our Services and Fees page. Fees exclude VAT and statutory disbursements payable to SARS or CIPC.

Yes. Transferring is a routine process. With your authority we obtain the handover information from your existing accountant, arrange SARS and CIPC access, and bring your records onto our systems. Onboarding is typically completed within five working days.

Yes. Catch-up and clean-up work is something we handle regularly, and it is quoted separately according to the period involved and the state of the records. Bringing overdue records up to date is usually the first step before any ongoing service begins.

Yes. Our team holds registrations and memberships with SAICA, CIMA and SAIPA, and we are SARS Registered Tax Practitioners. Individual credentials for each member of our senior team are set out on our About Us page.

We work with Xero, Sage and QuickBooks, and can assist with setup, migration and training on each. If you use a different system we will discuss whether it can be accommodated or whether migration would be appropriate.

Yes. We assist with SARS audits and verification requests, and prepare objections, alternative dispute resolution submissions and Tax Court submissions where required. This work is charged on an hourly basis.

Yes. We handle name reservations, company registration, director and shareholder amendments, CIPC annual returns, beneficial ownership register filings and MOI drafting. Registration together with a business bank account can also be arranged.

Yes. We compile Annual Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS or IFRS for SMEs as appropriate, and we can arrange an independent review where your company requires one under the Companies Act.

We act for practices and businesses outside South Africa on an outsourced basis, covering compilation work, working papers, management accounts, reconciliations and advisory support. Fees for international clients are quoted in US Dollars on a separate schedule. Our working day overlaps with both London and the eastern United States.

We handle client information in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act. Access is restricted, information is encrypted in transit, and all our personnel are bound by confidentiality obligations. Our Privacy Policy sets out how we collect, use and store personal information.

Accounting and tax records are generally retained for at least five years, as required by the Companies Act and the Tax Administration Act. Further detail is set out in our Privacy Policy.

Two things. Our own written articles and briefings — the latest trends in accounting, taxation and financial management, reviewed by a director before publication. And, below that, a live news feed of third-party headlines on tax, SARS, accounting, IFRS and auditing developments across South Africa, Zimbabwe, Africa and the world.

Our written articles are published as the profession moves rather than to a fixed calendar — typically two to four pieces a month, with immediate updates whenever SARS, CIPC or the IFRS Foundation announces something material. The industry news feed further down this page refreshes itself automatically, roughly weekly.

Our senior team writes the articles — Chartered Accountants, Registered Auditors and Tax Practitioners who do the actual work, reviewed by a director before publication. The separate news feed pulls third-party headlines automatically from public sources; we do not write, edit or endorse that content, so always confirm technical positions against the primary regulator or standard-setter.

Not at all — everything on this page is freely available to anyone. We take the view that a better-informed business community is good for the profession as a whole. That said, clients receive the detailed technical briefings and deadline reminders directly, ahead of general publication.

Yes. We welcome guest contributions from fellow professionals, particularly on specialist areas such as transfer pricing, exchange control, business rescue and sector-specific accounting. Email your proposed topic and a short outline to admin@troyfinserv.co.za and a director will come back to you.

Follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Instagram or YouTube — every piece is shared there as it goes live. You can also ask to be added to our client mailing list by emailing admin@troyfinserv.co.za, and we will send a short monthly digest with nothing else attached.
