What our clients say

Creative CFO cannot be more highly recommended! We have felt very well looked after since using their services. Max Linde, who runs our account, is a pleasure to work with – he is extremely responsive, has come to understand our business in a very short space of time and goes the extra length for our needs.

What our clients say

I just had the pleasure of dealing with CreativeCFO while converting our payroll system from Sage to SimplePay (+100 employees). The process was simple they were kind enough to hold my hand through the entire process. The post service support we have received has been amazing.

Big thank you to both Marylee and Realm, I know we weren’t the easiest but hopefully we were your favorite. Looking forward to our next opportunity to work together.

Creative CFO manages our financial accounts as well as our systems which integrate our accounting software (Xero), stock control software (Dear) and online shopping platform (Shopify). Our experience with Creative CFO has always been professional and friendly, and I believe that this team is one of the most expert teams in South Africa who deal with Dear and Xero. I recommend them highly.

The best tools for your business

About Us
Our Values

Nine years ago, we set out on a mission to create a world-class growth platform that provides SMEs with financial clarity, peace of mind and high-growth opportunities.

During this journey, we have supported several hundred SMEs to improve their ability to run sustainable businesses, develop a world-class offering, hire more employees and support skills transfer in their communities.

This work enabled us to build an extensive network, become a leader in the SME ecosystem, and foster relationships with founders, executives, and employees. As a result, we have a thorough understanding of the businesses we work with, their finances, operations, and the human capital behind them.

These businesses vary in nature, size, and industry. As a result, our professional finance and investment teams have developed a unique skill-set geared towards identifying the challenges that SMEs face, addressing them and, in doing so, enabling SMEs to succeed.
