About us

Who we are

Started in 2020 during the global COVID-19 pandemic by Maki Modisakeng CA(SA) and Prince Mthembu (TT) SA, Prima Accountants was born out of a space of resilience…

Together we’ve created a firm that blends intelligent analytical assessment and critical financial reporting with talent, individual skill and refreshing common sense.

Having overcome considerable obstacles ourselves, we believe there’s an opportunity in every challenge – and have proved this.

We offer dynamic future-facing accounting solutions.

Today Prima proudly serves over 200 clients. We deliver on retainers – growing each of our clients through a robust combination of professionalism, knowledge, experience and grit.

Our solutions are designed to give your business the advantage of a dedicated in-house accounting department at a fraction of the cost.

We partner with you to make this possible.
