Why Tax Empowerd?

I am a Chartered Accountant and SARS Registered Tax Practitioner.  I have a B.Comm and B.Comm (Hons) (Accounting) from the University of Pretoria and completed my articles at KPMG. I have over 15 years experience providing strategic advice to South African and international executive management teams and company boards, mentoring trainee accountants on tax as well as engaging with internal and external audit teams.  I am also a qualified Project Manager (PRINCE2®).

I have firsthand experience of todays challenges faced by corporate teams in dealing with SARS.  I spent several years managing the tax department of a multi-national JSE listed entity, navigating technically challenging issues on South African and international tax implications of transfer pricing, customs, VAT, employees tax and corporate tax.  As manager of an internal tax team, I developed a project management platform to proactively engage with SARS.  The benefits of proactive engagement with SARS and strong internal capacity through investment in young professionals and daily support to senior management and the Board is immeasurable.  Since 2013, I have been working with multi-national companies that have limited internal capacity to manage their tax affairs and offer technical advisory and compliance support to private companies.

My experience inspired the vision of Tax Empowerd; to strengthen the capacity of internal teams, offering dedicated long term support on a flexible basis and building empowering organisations to proactively engage with SARS.

Through Tax Health Assessments on Corporate Tax, Employees Tax & VAT we obtain clarity on the tax empowerment gap.

Peace of mind only comes when you know that you have met all your tax obligations. I assist and support you through:

  • Corporate Tax Compliance Support Services
  • Indirect Tax Compliance Support Services
  • Tax Dispute Resolution
  • Support and Assistance in Responding to SARS Queries

Tax Empowerment Training

As your business moves and grows so too does the tax landscape shift. Consistently. Faster and faster. Changing constantly. To make empowered and informed decisions you need to be aware of how the various changes in the tax landscape impact your business. I customise my training based on the needs and relevance to you and your teams.

Tax Project Management

Now that you are Tax Empowered, we look at ways to further streamline and automate processes. The most cost-effective would be to use what is already available. Alternatively, we explore options which make business sense. I support you in the automation process to shift you into Total Tax Empowered gear.
