About Us

Achieve Financial Freedom With Us

118Accounting is a Chartered Accounting firm with a mission to support entrepreneurs to grow and scale their businesses to ultimately achieve financial freedom. We have a long history of operations, having been founded in the early 80s by Robin Powell who was a Chartered Accountant with a strong reputation for being a trusted financial and tax expert for small businesses.

Later on, Robin’s son and current owner, Mike Powell, joined him as a partner. When Robin passed away in March 2020, Mike, Hamza Moola, Cuan van der Linde and their team of dedicated accountants and advisors continue to build on their founder’s legacy.

Currently, 118Accounting has offices in Johannesburg and Ladysmith (in Kwa-Zulu Natal), but by embracing a truly digital operating model the firm is looking to implement a national growth strategy into specific verticals. As part of these expansion efforts, 118Accounting has also built financial solutions tailored to the Farming, Pharmacy and Fuel clients.
