The First Trust Company was first established back in 1963 by the then mayor of Johannesburg Mr O.H. Over the years we created new entities, moved and established our offices in Northcliff where we currently operate from. The firm currently has two Directors namely Pierre Francois de Klerk and Jose Louis Gonsalves, both are members of the South African Institute of Professional Accountants (SAIPA)
.The remainder of our team is a terrific mix of youth and experience and is compromised of dedicated, professional individuals who will go the extra mile for the clients. Over the years our growth and success has been mostly attributable to three factors namely; our great team, our ability to adapt and change according to each situation and to the growth and success of our clients... for us that is the way it should be. Our aim is to provide a value added service that is necessary for the continued growth of our clients based on a very personal and professional relationship. Every client is important to us whether they are a big corporate, company start-up, professional or an individual. Our client base includes individuals, close corporations, companies, trusts, sole proprietors and non profit organisations to whom we provide accounting, tax, payroll, secretarial and business consulting services. We also provide consulting and practice management advice to new and existing accounting practices, as we do not see them as competitors but potential for further growth. For us it is important to go beyond just the numbers and provide our clients with a dynamic and convenient service that not only covers all the basics of tax compliance but also goes beyond that. Our approach takes into account the unique circumstance of each client and the ever changing economic and technological environments in which we and our clients operate and we are therefore able to provide a holistic service to our clients.
