About Us

CONFIANCE was started in 1996 by Elize Bokelman as an Accounting Office with the focus on Tax Efficient planning for professional clients for their practices and wealth growth.

As Confiance means “trust” we pride ourselves in the fact that we endeavour to build and maintain the necessary trust with our clients.

Confiance Accountants and Tax Consultants (Pty) Ltd acts predominantly as an Accounting office that implements and maintains the tax planning done by Elize Bokelman. More than nineteen years ago there was a lot of talk and planning to create a tier of accountants that was not for chartered accountants but financial accountants. Elize seized this opportunity and created Confiance as a training office in the Western Cape for such accountants. We have subsequently had great success training these accountants over the years.

The services that Confiance offers are:

• Annual financial statements and tax schedules
• Monthly Business Management that includes Statutory returns
• Tax compliance
• Revenue Queries
• Company secretarial work.

We have a team of qualified directors and associates as group leaders:

• Shahiem Adams that specialises in Offers of Compromise and Voluntary Disclosure Programmes (VDP)
• Gerda Nothnagel that specialises in Revenue Queries
• Mar-Lize Kotzé that specialises in Secretarial and Tax Compliance
• Carla De Geus assists groups of clients within the same Incorporations.

As a result of the trust built with the existing clients in giving them independent factual advice on Financial planning and Estate planning and the need for compliance with the financial industry, Elize registered as a Certified Financial Planner focusing on Tax and Estate Planning. More and more clients had the need for a family office and as such Confiance Multi family office (CMFO) was born, and focuses on:

• Tax Planning
• Business Structuring
• Estate Planning
• Financial planning
• Trust registration and fiduciary services
• Commercial legal work
• Memorandums of Incorporation
• Legal tax assistance.

We have a formidable team that includes:

• Megan Bokelman-Fourie as an attorney of the High Court
• Byron Fourie a qualified attorney
• Tegan Sham a qualified attorney.
• Kirstin Husted as a junior financial planner
