Ben van der Linde has been extremely helpful and efficient in sorting out my personal and business tax affairs that were in disarray from another accountant’s incompetence. I can highly recommend his services

Highly Recommend! I recently faced a time crunch with my income tax return and turned to BenAccountant (Pty) Ltd. Their service was not only fast and professional but also very reassuring. The communication from company personnel was excellent, immediately easing my anxiety about the approaching deadline. They handled my tax return with efficiency and precision, keeping me informed at every step. Great customer service! Glad to have found you. Thank you

Amazing, efficient service from the most humble, friendly and professional accountant. What I loved most was the constant correspondence which to me is so important. Definitely recommend BenAccountant to anyone who needs assistance.
