After 20 years of turning financial complexity into clarity, Emma Pardoe Chartered Accountant marked the major milestone with a special celebration at The Playhouse Theatre in Somerset West on Wednesday 3 September.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What started as a small acorn has grown into a mighty oak of accounting, audit and tax services, with the celebratory event marked by socialising and laughter as people gathered to celebrate what started as a small one-room accounting firm. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The practice has since scaled into a leader in the industry, after its humble beginning as a simple dream of the mastermind herself, Pardoe.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past 20 years, Pardoe has served businesses in and around the Helderberg, with some of her clients having been with her from the very beginning.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“I have helped other acorns like us grow into mighty oaks themselves,” she pointed out.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The numbers maestro is now looking toward the future as she sets new goals that are firmly rooted in the vision she had when the business first started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Charity
The 20th anniversary celebration also doubled as an auction as the firm used its birthday to raise funds for The Playhouse Theatre and Round Table No.31 Somerset West. Charity auction sponsors were (from left) Michael Wheeler (PSG Wealth), Erik Grimbeek (Currencies Direct), Emma Pardoe (Emma Pardoe Chartered Accountant & Registered Auditor), Kalika Redelinghuys (Trees South Africa), and Gary Pardoe (Premier Financial Services).
