About Us

Welcome to Accounting 4 Associates. In the early 1990’s, four accounting professionals came together with a common goal – to provide personal, cost effective and comprehensive professional services to the small and medium business sector in all aspects of finance and management under standards of excellence.

The client base quickly grew to include clients from all around Durban, soon thereafter A4 began servicing clients all around South Africa, and not long thereafter, A4 began servicing clients in the US, UK and Australia too. An evolution to A4’s service offering took place in 2018 to bring in chartered accountants, industry-leading technology, and to engage with trusted partners to provide our clients with wide-ranging expert services.

A4 pushes the boundaries when it comes to technology and giving our clients one point of entry to a multitude of cost-effective expert services to assist our clients in achieving their accounting, tax, business and personal goals.
