Compendium has been my bookkeepers since 2019 – when we changed the name from Sebenza Safety to Lesika Safety – but they were the bookkeepers of Sebenza Safety for a couple of years as well. Compendium has always exceeded my expectations as a customer of theirs. All the departments are definitely on top of their game. Whenever I had a problem or query – Compendium has always been there, and they resolved all my queries in a prompt and professional way. I will definitely recommend Compendium to any business – they have the capabilities to render good quality and professional services to any business whether Small Medium and even Corporate businesses.

Elreza Bloem

General bookkeeping, sending of invoices and tax administration is a nightmare for me as a blind legal practitioner, due to software not being compatible with the screen reader (text-to-speech program) I use on my computer. I've decided to place my books in the competent hands of Compendium Accounting Solutions, and my practice is running like a dream. Their staff are professional and friendly and with them being a quick phone call or Email away, I know all my accounting matters will be sorted out before I can even say: "yes, Judge".

Lettie Stander

In 2007, Nevis Painting (PTY) Ltd was a small start-up company and approached Compendium Accounting Solutions to help me with all the registrations with Company documentation, UIF and VAT registration. We were not treated like a start-up company but like any other serious client. They have been great support through the dreaded COVID 19 pandemic helping with UIF claims and more. To make it even better the staff is friendly and willing to help. If I had to do it all over again and could choose again it will be Compendium all over again.

Frederik Cocquyt

Approximately ten years ago, I contracted Compendium to provide accounting support for a small property enterprise of which I was the owner. Since 2019, they also provided professional services (secretariat and accounting) for my corporate legal advice business. In the time that I received assistance from Compendium, I have found the JW Stoddard and his staff knowledgeable, and solution orientated. Any tax and other regulatory compliance matters were dealt with expeditiously. Timelines were adhered to, and queries answered rapidly. I would recommend Compendium as a strategic partner to any business owner or responsible person in a business for the provision of accounting and company secretariat services.
