Accounting & Assurance Services

About the Accounting & Auditing Team

VEVA’s accounting and auditing division is led by a team of Chartered Accountants registered with the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA), with our lead auditor also registered with the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors (IRBA). Collectively, our professionals bring a depth of expertise across financial reporting, audit, and corporate finance—ensuring clients receive accurate, insightful, and compliant financial solutions.

Our lead auditor has significant experience in external audit, having served as a Senior Associate at a reputable audit firm before joining VEVA. His practical understanding of risk-based auditing and regulatory frameworks enables him to deliver high-quality assurance engagements, particularly for complex and evolving businesses. He is meticulous, methodical, and committed to upholding the highest standards of professional independence and audit quality.

Our Lead Accountant is a Chartered Accountant (SA) registered with SAICA, bringing a well-rounded blend of experience across corporate, private, and audit environments. Her diverse background enables her to provide clients with practical, scalable, and forward-thinking financial solutions tailored to their business needs. She is certified in Xero and Pastel and highly proficient in a wide range of cloud-based and desktop accounting platforms, including Sage, QuickBooks, and SimplePay. Her hands-on knowledge of these systems allows her to streamline processes, optimise reporting, and support clients with real-time financial insights.

The broader team are all registered Chartered Accountants and are adept at navigating financial reporting requirements, preparing and reviewing financial statements, and advising on best practices in internal controls, tax accounting, and business processes. Clients appreciate VEVA’s accounting and audit team not only for their technical capability but also for their pragmatic approach. They understand the pressures of running a business and strive to make financial reporting more accessible, meaningful, and efficient for management and stakeholders alike. With a commitment to integrity, transparency, and client service, our team ensures that every audit or accounting engagement is handled with precision, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the client’s industry and goals.

Proactive financial management and oversight for growing businesses. At Veva Consulting, we extend our trusted expertise beyond high-net-worth clients to empower small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs). Our outsourced Accounting & Assurance Services give business owners reliable finance support and compliance guidance. We provide timely monthly management accounts, budgets and forecasts to keep you on track. By partnering with our experienced team, you get CFO-level insights (cashflow planning, variance analysis, KPI dashboards (Xero)) without the cost of a full-time hire. We tailor each report to your goals, using technology (cloud-based reporting tools) to deliver clarity and confidence on your performance.

Management Accounting

We equip you with the financial intelligence to make smart decisions. Our management accounting services include:

  • Monthly Management Reports: Detailed profit & loss, cash flow and KPI dashboards so you can quickly see performance trends.
  • Budgeting & Forecasting: We develop budgets and rolling forecasts aligned to your business plan, helping you anticipate needs and seize opportunities. These financial roadmaps keep you prepared for growth.
  • Strategic Planning: Tailored financial models and analysis to advise on pricing, expansions or cost control. Our experts translate numbers into action plans (e.g. scenario forecasting to guide inventory or staffing decisions).

This hands-on service combines our financial expertise with a warm, personal approach. We become part of your team: answering questions, explaining results and refining forecasts together so you always feel supported and informed.

Internal Audit & Risk Review

We help you strengthen controls and manage risk without internal bias. Our internal audit services for SMEs include:

  • Risk & Control Assessments: Independent reviews of your internal controls and risk management processes. We evaluate how money moves through your business, identifying gaps or inefficiencies.
  • Process Improvement: Actionable recommendations – from better record-keeping to simple automation – that improve accuracy and reduce exposure. Our auditors are experienced in finance and operations, so we spot issues (like segregation-of-duties or data security holes) and help you fix them before they cause problems.
  • Compliance Reviews: We check adherence to industry standards and regulations, giving you peace of mind that your operations meet legal requirements. This builds trust with lenders, regulators and partners.

Even if you can’t justify a full-time auditor, we can step in periodically (or continuously) to bring unbiased assurance. Outsourcing your internal audit means accessing seasoned professionals who stay current on regulations and best practices, all at a fraction of the cost of in-house hiring. The result is greater efficiency and a stronger control environment, so you can focus on growing your business.

Assurance Services (Reviews & AUPs)

Beyond internal reviews, we deliver formal assurance engagements to meet stakeholder needs. Our team provides:

  • Independent Review Engagements: A limited-scope review of financial statements that offers comfort to banks, investors or internal stakeholders without the expense of an audit. These engagements involve inquiry and analysis procedures to verify your figures, enhancing credibility.
  • Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUP): Targeted procedures agreed with you or third parties (for example, verifying cash balances, inventory counts or grant receipts). AUP reports list factual findings on specified areas, satisfying requirements for loans or audits of subsidiaries.
  • Statutory Audit Support: If your business grows to meet audit thresholds, we can prepare you for a full audit or work with your auditor. Our assurance specialists ensure your books are in order and identify any issues beforehand.

In all our assurance work, we emphasize precision, technology and a client-centric approach. We use risk-based audit tools to focus on what matters most for your business and industry. You’ll receive clear, jargon-free reports and explanations – helping you make decisions or pass regulator scrutiny with confidence.

Body Corporate Compliance Audits

For sectional-title developments and homeowners’ associations, we handle the annual auditing obligations. Our specialists understand the unique rules for co-owned properties: audits are generally required by law (e.g. Sectional Titles Act) unless all owners are related. We perform Body Corporate audits to verify the community’s financial records and controls, including:

  • Financial Statement Verification: Confirming that levies, expenses, and reserve funds are correctly recorded.
  • Reserve Fund Analysis: Ensuring adequate savings for future maintenance, as required by law.
  • Compliance Check: Verifying compliance with the Sectional Titles Act or Non-Profit Company regulations (as applicable).

By investing in deep industry knowledge and modern audit software, we deliver body-corporate audits with precision and value. Our focus on transparency helps build homeowner trust (audits deter fraud and show stewardship of levy funds). Ultimately, we shield the community’s financial health with thorough reports and friendly support for trustees.

Cloud Accounting & Bookkeeping

Our day-to-day accounting services run on the latest cloud platforms (we’re certified Xero partners). We keep your books tidy so you can concentrate on running the business. Services include:

  • Bookkeeping: Recording transactions, reconciling bank accounts and maintaining ledgers on Xero. With automated bank feeds and categorisation, data entry is minimised and always up-to-date.
  • Invoicing & Payments: Generating and sending invoices via Xero, tracking receivables, and following up on unpaid bills. Xero’s tools can even send payment reminders automatically, saving you the hassle of chasing clients.
  • Financial Reporting: We close the books monthly and deliver cloud dashboards and customised reports (profit/loss, cashflow, aged receivables, etc.). This instant visibility on your finances lets you make timely decisions – whether you’re on a laptop, tablet or phone.
  • Tax Compliance: We prepare VAT returns (and other statutory filings) from the same cloud data, ensuring you never miss a deadline. By working in one integrated system, the risk of errors is greatly reduced.

Using a cloud accounting system brings big benefits. In practice, this means we can collaborate with you in real time. We see your numbers continuously, provide regular updates and advice, and scale our support as your needs change. In short, our technology + personal service model frees you to focus on growth, while we manage the details of cash flow, invoicing and compliance.

In summary, Veva Consulting is here for SMEs with the same warmth and dedication we show all clients. Whether you need monthly management accounts, risk assurance, property audits or outsourced bookkeeping, you’ll get confident guidance backed by expertise. We combine our compliance know-how and leading tools with a personal touch – building long-term relationships where your success is our success.

Business and Asset Valuation Services

Veva Consulting provides expert valuation services tailored to high-net-worth individuals and business owners. We handle a wide range of asset types with discretion and precision, including:

  • Private Businesses & SMEs: Fair market valuations of unlisted companies or small/medium enterprises for sales, financing, or strategic planning.
  • Trusts & Holding Structures: Valuations of assets held in trusts or investment companies, supporting estate planning and restructure decisions.
  • Shares: Independent appraisals of shareholdings (for estates, B-BBEE transactions, buy-sell agreements, etc.), ensuring accurate transfer values.
  • Real Estate: Professional appraisal of residential and commercial property, using comparables, income or cost approaches as appropriate.

 

These valuations serve multiple purposes:

  • Tax Compliance: Support for SARS filings (capital gains, donations tax, or internal restructuring under Sections 42/47). Our reports meet SARS requirements for fair market value.
  • Estate Planning & Reporting: Determining estate duty values and providing executor reports for trusts and estates.
  • Legal & Dispute Support: Impartial valuations in divorce or shareholder litigation, or expert testimony in disputes.
  • Corporate Transactions: Guidance for sales, mergers, acquisitions or internal restructuring – we value businesses and assets to inform deal terms and strategy.
  • B-BBEE Verification: Valuations for Black Ownership schemes or equity equivalents, helping certify ownership points under the Codes.

Methodology & Standards

We follow internationally accepted valuation frameworks. For example, IFRS 13 defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset … between market participants at the measurement date”, and this concept underpins our analyses. We also adhere to the International Valuation Standards (IVS) – a globally recognised framework used in over 100 countries. In practice, we select from multiple approaches (discounted cash flow, market comparables or trading multiples, net asset value, etc.) based on the asset and context. Each valuation is prepared to professional standards and aligns with both IFRS and South African tax law. In short, our methodology ensures consistency, transparency and compliance in every report.

Our valuations are designed to be audit-ready and withstand scrutiny. We handle every engagement with strict confidentiality, coordinating discreetly with your lawyers, trustees or financial advisors as needed. Experienced valuers document all key assumptions and data, providing a clear audit trail. This means your tax filings (capital gains, donations or Section 42/47 reorganisations) and legal processes (estate settlements, divorce or shareholder disputes) are supported by independent, defensible valuation reports.

Veva Consulting combines technical rigour with a personal touch. Our goal is to give you confidence in every high-stakes decision. By blending strict compliance with strategic insight, we help you understand not just the numbers but the implications for your financial and business planning.
