We don't give you spreadsheets.
We give you victories.
Accounting, specialist tax, and strategic advisory for the clients most firms won't take on — and the problems most firms can't solve.
The Breytenbach Promise
Honest. Specialised.
Relentlessly In Your Corner.
In a professional landscape that has mastered the art of hedging, deferring, and deflecting, Breytenbach Consulting takes a different position: we say what we mean, and we deliver what we say.
Accountability is not a value we list for corporate clout. It is the operating mechanism of this firm. Our reputation rests on one principle: if we commit, it happens. If it cannot happen, we tell you before you invest a single Rand finding out the hard way.
- A direct, honest assessment of your situation — including whether we are the right firm to handle it.
- Clear communication on strategy, risk, and realistic outcomes. No false comfort. No inflated promises.
- A firm position, competently defended. If we advise a course of action, we have the technical depth to back it.
- Confidentiality, discretion, and a relationship built on trust — not transaction.
- If we cannot help you, we will refer you to someone who can.
Our referral partners receive the same standard of honesty. We will not accept a referral to make a partner look good. We accept it only if we can deliver a meaningful outcome. When we do, partners can be confident their client and their own reputation are both protected.
Our Areas of Practice
We operate within a narrow, defined niche. If your problem falls outside it, we will tell you that directly.
Accounting
Financial statements, management accounts and bookkeeping.
Payroll
End-to-end payroll, EMP submissions, statutory compliance.
Tax Compliance
Income tax, VAT, provisional tax — accurate and on time.
Tax Dispute & Controversy
Audit to Tax Court — we know the tactics and do not fold.
Aggressive Tax Strategy
Structures most practitioners can't implement — or defend.
High-Stakes Advisory
Voluntary disclosure, compromise, structured settlement.
Tax Debt Management
Relief of tax debt and penalties through legal process, negotiation, and equalization of cashflow, minimizing liability.
Service that's personal,
not numerical.
We Listen First
No intake form, no initial quote. We sit down with you and understand what you're dealing with before we say anything about what we can do.
We Tell You the Truth
If your situation doesn't fall within what we do, we will tell you. If it does, we will tell you what a realistic outcome looks like — not what you want to hear.
We Fight for You
Once we take your case, it's personal. We don't manage your expectations down — we push for the best possible outcome, every time.
Other advisors give you a report and send an invoice. We give you a person in your corner — one who understands the numbers and the law, and cares about the outcome.
The Founding Partner
Fighting for you.
Tax Professional with 8 years in practice and a proud member of the SAIT. With more than R400 million in tax savings secured for clients — the majority of Ivan's career has been spent where the stakes are highest — complex disputes with SARS and aggressive tax structures that needed to be defended by legal means. He has served listed entities, government bodies, large businesses, politically affiliated persons, high-net-worth individuals and SMEs.
This is who leads the fight. The full firm stands behind them.
"They have helped me and my firm's clients with efficient tax planning instead of meekly sucking up to SARS. Highly recommended!"
