When I left South Africa for the U.S. after high school, I had no idea that my journey through global finance would eventually lead me to reimagine how small businesses experience accounting.
I landed in Houston, Texas, right around the 07–08 financial crisis or as I like to call it, the hangover of the Great Recession. While the world was tightening its belt, Houston’s energy sector was booming, and I was lucky enough to start my career at PwC, one of the Big Four accounting firms.
There, I cut my teeth on practical audit and accounting work, learning what financial precision really means. But my favorite part wasn’t the Fortune 500 exposure, it was the time spent with private client services, helping smaller, owner-led companies navigate their finances with confidence.
That’s where the spark for Ledgerment began.
I realized that small businesses deserve the same strategic insights and tools that large corporations rely on without the complexity, cost, or bureaucracy. My goal became clear: to bring big-firm expertise to Main Street, empowering entrepreneurs with the systems and confidence to grow sustainably.
Today, at Ledgerment, that mission continues. We’re not just balancing books; we’re helping founders build financial clarity, resilience, and long-term success.
Because great accounting isn’t just about numbers, it’s about understanding the story those numbers tell.
