“The traditional accounting persona bores us.”

From the advent of cloud accounting software to the way accountants are trusted business advisors (not just number crunchers), no longer do accountants have to be stiff, conservative – or boring.

We are professional, trusted accountants: and also bold business owners. We love new technology, brilliant ideas, and anything disruptive. We’re excited to work with bold business owners who are similarly driven, and keen to see change in your own industry.

Maverick Culture

Here’s what the team have to say:

Deliana Jooste

“I love seeing our clients become less stressed about the financial state of their business, because they know that it is in good and capable hands. Their appreciation and thankfulness, for work well done, make us strive to do more.”

Dewald Pretorius

“I’m a Maverick because it’s in my blood to provide the best possible services there are. I don’t see my clients just as “clients” but as part of my family. I also love working at Maverick because you’re not just a number we are one big happy family.”

Dewald Van Rooyen

“Our success does not lie in the results, but in the effort.”

Calvin Smart

“The Maverick team can be regarded as a family as we spend more time with our colleagues than we do at home with our families. So the consideration and adoration that is shared at the office every day is what allows me to be excited to go to work every day.”

Charmika Bhaktawar

“Freedom from convention defines the Maverick in me”

Chanel Coetzee

“Behind every good business is a great Maverick accountant. I’m an accountant at Maverick…what’s your superpower?”

Susan Meyer

“I enjoy my job because there is nothing as satisfying as helping somebody get their personal taxes up to date or helping them with a problem. My job never gets boring as there are always new skills and challenges to be learnt.”

Dominique White

“When a client understands what it takes to do their work, and does their best to assist you in achieving the goals you have both set, it is a great feeling in achieving these goals, together.”

Jonothan McCann

“ Accounting has changed thanks to Maverick. Being a Maverick gives you the edge others don’t have.”
