About The Company
Larger companies and corporates have chief financial officers, financial managers and accounting departments for the same reasons why SME’s (small to medium size enterprises ) need these services.

Her background in the Corporate Finance environment allows for not only handling all your accounting and tax services, but it allows her to provide solutions adding real value such as cost saving initiatives, streamlining of processes, implementation of policies and budget and cash flow forecasting resulting in simplified accounting, saving money, improved profitability and freeing up time for business management.
