Who we are / Our mission
Andrew Grieve
Professional Accountant (SA), Professional Tax Practitioner (SA)
Andrew grew up and attended school in Cape Town and furthered his education at the University of Cape Town, where he completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in both Financial Accounting and Information Systems, graduating in 1994. He went on to qualify as a practicing member of the South African Institute of Professional Accountants (SAIPA) in 1999.
It was around that point in time when he decided to further his knowledge and career by moving to London, where he worked in various positions in the finance teams of Barclays Bank PLC and Deutsche Bank AG, amongst others. He finally settled down back in Cape Town in 2012, after gaining extensive and invaluable UK knowledge and experience in the accounting and banking sectors.
Andrew is generally an outdoors person, with his biggest passion being surfing, as well as kiteboarding, and a bit of mountain biking. However, he also has an introverted side, and turns the pages to a lot of books during most evenings. We think that he secretly wants to know everything about everything!
