A Durban accounting practice built on doing the unglamorous parts properly.
SKMS opened in 2018 as a small accounting practice in Essenwood. It has grown into a full-service firm, and the reason clients give for staying has not changed: the work is done when it is supposed to be done, and someone picks up the phone.
We work with owner-managed businesses, professionals and individuals across KwaZulu-Natal. That means trading companies, consultancies, property holdings, freelancers and families — most of them long-term relationships rather than once-a-year filings.
Accounting is a profession where the value shows up quietly: a deduction claimed correctly, a deadline that never became a penalty, a set of numbers you could actually make a decision on. We would rather be judged on that than on anything we could put in a brochure.
To give clients financial information they can rely on and advice they can act on, delivered on time and explained in plain terms.
To be the practice KwaZulu-Natal business owners recommend to each other, because of how we work rather than how we market.
We tell clients what the position is, including when it is not what they hoped. A tax position we cannot defend is not one we will sign.
Reconciled, supported and checked. Numbers that cannot be traced back to a source document are not finished numbers.
Deadlines are tracked on a calendar, not in someone's memory. Most penalties our clients avoid are ones they never knew were coming.
Advice you cannot understand is advice you cannot use. We explain the reasoning, not just the conclusion.
Small enough that you will know who is doing your work.
