Principal

Andrew Fraser

Andrew is registered as a Chartered Accountant in both South Africa and the United Kingdom. Having gained his C.A.(S.A.) qualification in early 1984, he built an accounting practice dedicated to SMEs and their owner/managers. He still runs and manages that practice but moved to the UK in June 2020 with the goal of repeating that success and extend his cross border tax and business advisory skills.

With a natural ability to simplify very complex concepts he can translate tax and business laws and jargin into workable and understandable solutions tailored to each of his clients’ individual needs.

Andrew has a deep love for family and spends as much time as he can with them. They are now spread across 3 continents so travel is a high priority on his non-working agenda. The world’s move to a virutal and very digital environment means he can focus on his clients needs and still spend quality time with those he loves the most.

He has a deep sense of community and has spent most of his free time developing people in both his local church and wider community being a trustee on several school boards and other charitable institutions
