It’s a huge relief knowing that everything is taken care of by professionals I can depend on and trust.

South Coast Transport
Chantal has been an absolute godsend to my businesses. She effortlessly and graciously took over from my previous accountants. She was able to resolve all of my former tax issues. Chantal now runs all accounting and tax for both of my businesses, while ensuring all tax requirements are in line with my fiduciary obligations. She manages our day-to-day accounting, PAYE, and UIF needs and advises on all tax elements that I would otherwise not know to have up-to-date. I could not recommend her enough if I tried.

Frequently Asked Question
How Can We Help You?
What services do you offer?
We provide integrated tax, accounting, financial planning, and company secretarial services tailored to small and medium-sized businesses. This includes tax compliance, payroll, financial reporting, investment advisory, legacy planning, and statutory support — all under one trusted roof.
How are you different from a traditional accountant or bookkeeper?
Obsidian offers more than just compliance and bookkeeping. We’re a relationship-driven advisory firm that tailors our support to your needs — whether that’s basic accounting, tax guidance, financial planning, or company secretarial services. You don’t have to take everything; you just get what’s right for your business, with the added value of a team that sees the bigger picture and supports you with clarity and care.
Do you work with startups or only established businesses?
We work with both. Whether you’re launching your first business or scaling a growing company, we tailor our services to meet you where you are — and help you plan for where you want to go.
Can I move my tax or accounting mid-year?
Yes. Our onboarding process is designed to make the transition seamless — even if it’s mid-financial year. We’ll guide you through every step to ensure continuity and compliance.
How do I get started as a new client?
We start with a no-obligation consultation to understand your goals and assess your current setup. From there, we offer a tailored plan and, if you choose to move forward, begin implementing it with full transparency. You’ll gain a proactive partner who supports your growth every step of the way.
Is my information safe and confidential?
Absolutely. We follow strict data security protocols and treat all client information with the utmost care, discretion, and legal compliance.
Will I have a dedicated advisor or account manager?
At Obsidian, your service is director-led from the start. You’ll work directly with an experienced professional who’s invested in your success — not passed off to junior staff. This ensures you receive high-level insight, consistency, and a trusted relationship you can rely on.
Do you only work with South African clients?
While our core operations are in South Africa, we do support clients with international interests or global compliance needs, especially in the context of wealth planning and cross-border structuring.
