ABOUT THE BEANCOUNTER
19 years of excellence.
We’ve seen it all. From startups finding their feet to established businesses scaling up – we know what works.

About The Beancounter
Our founder, Marnus Broodryk, is arguably one of the most well-known advocates for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in South Africa. He was the youngest investor on M-Net’s Shark Tank South Africa, authored the best-selling book 90 Rules for Entrepreneurs, and founded The Beancounter with one vision: to serve and empower SME entrepreneurs.
Let us help you grow your business
We’re unique
We are damn good at what we do; we give the best business advice, offer exceptional service and we help you make more money and take your business to the next level. You need to know what’s happening in your business and you need to stay out of jail – we’ll help you with both.
We’re tech-savvy
We are specialists in cloud accounting and a Platinum Partner for both Xero and SageOne. With years of experience working closely with these platforms, we’ve built deep expertise that helps our clients thrive. Today, we use, love, and recommend Xero – and we’re proud to be one of the leading Platinum Partners in South Africa.
We’re accredited
Our accountants are registered with either SAIPA or SAICA – the 2 most creditable bodies in SA. We are also a registered tax practitioner at SARS.
Our way of work
We only provide recurring accounting services and no adhoc services. Ie. We won’t do just an income tax return for you on an annual basis. We are your dedicated accountant and work with you on a recurring basis, ensuring that you get monthly management accounts and stay up to date with all statutory requirements.
Our location
Our head offices are based in Johannesburg , but because we work on cloud software – it is really possible to service clients anywhere in the world – exactly like we do right now with our global footprint.
Our clients
We specialise in working with small and medium-sized businesses — typically those with a turnover between R1 million and R100 million. While our clients span across every industry, our approach remains consistent: the principles of great accounting and business support are universal.
We’re experienced
We were established in 2007 and we have the systems and people in place to ensure you get the best experience possible.
