The story of Flair Accounting begins with its founder, Heather Flack. Straight out of school, Heather joined an accounting practice and began her articles. She soon grasped the power of numbers in business. However, she also quickly realised that the traditional accounting practice model is based on billing, billing, billing which often makes accounting practices inaccessible to and unaffordable for business owners. It takes a lot of hard work and time to delve deeply into how a company is run, if it’s healthy and doing well, or if it’s sickly and in bad shape. What tax benefits it could enjoy, and what pitfalls to avoid. Being exceptionally passionate about South Africa, she knew right there and then that she really wanted to help business owners and empower them with useful financial information to grow their businesses. And so she has spent 20 years breaking the traditional accounting practice mould. Flair Accounting embarked on her maiden voyage on 1 March 2003 – almost 20 years ago. To be recognised by Standard Bank Top Women and ranked as one of South Africa’s Top Gender Empowerment Companies in the financial sector for 2022/2023 is a true acknowledgement of the Flair Accounting vision and values. Clients range from medium enterprises to large national and international companies - across a broad spectrum of industries including health and medical, professional services, manufacturing, retail, hospitality and many more. We have successfully helped hundreds of business owners grow their businesses the right way – helping them to become not only tax compliant, but labour and Company’s Act compliant too. Our core Flair ethos is that we have always subscribed to the philosophy that life, and hence business, is about people. Not only our clients but our team, suppliers and greater community with our spirit, integrity and values that have steered us right for 20 years!
