THE Accountant to the Wine Industry! With over 18 years of experience in accounting, I have spent the last 10+ years specializing in helping wineries and wine businesses optimize their financial operations to make better business decisions! As the founder of Protea Financial, an accounting business founded in March 2014, my mission is to provide better accounting for everyone. And we strive to do that every single day for each of our clients! I achieve this by sharing easily digestible advice to help you understand accounting and its fundamental principles. As a small business owner, I know firsthand how many hats you must wear. Bookkeeping and accounting shouldn't be one of them. Let's get you the reliable and consistent help you need! Professional Background I hold a Post Graduate Degree in Accounting and am a Chartered Accountant (South Africa). My career includes roles at large private companies and 4 years at a Big 4 accounting firm, KPMG, where I gained extensive experience across various sectors including manufacturing and food and beverage.
