the history of the evergreen accounting firm
Built on Experience, Driven by Innovation
The Evergreen Accounting Firm was founded in 2013 by Geraldine Buckton and Jonathan Turpin, but our story started long before that. We began our journey supporting auditing firms, stepping in when they lacked senior-level clerks to complete audits. Under the supervision of audit partners, we handled full-scale audits from start to finish, gaining deep expertise in financial compliance and best practices.
From there, we transitioned into on-site accounting services, working with desktop-based Pastel and QuickBooks. But the reality of Fourways traffic made travel a nightmare—sometimes taking hours just to reach a client.
From Traditional to Tech-Driven
When cloud-based accounting software became available, we saw an opportunity to work smarter, not harder. We rebuilt the business with a 100% online model, eliminating the inefficiencies of travel and outdated systems.
As we expanded, we moved into large, beautiful offices and built a team of recent graduates, following a traditional accounting firm model. However, we soon realized that efficiency and expertise—not headcount—drive real value for our clients. Managing young clerks pulled focus from our core strengths, so by the end of 2018, we made a bold shift.
We streamlined our operations with high-tech solutions, enabling us to deliver higher-quality service with a more focused, expert-driven team. By reducing our team size by half, we significantly increased capacity and efficiency. As technology continues to evolve, so do we—scaling output, improving turnaround times, and expanding our ability to support even more business owners at competitive rates.
With a smaller, more agile team, we are 100% answerable and accountable. We take full ownership of every task, ensuring that things get done right, on time, every time.
We've spent thousands of hours solving every challenge imaginable—from bookkeeping, software migrations, and audits to CIPC, SARS, UIF, COIDA compliance, and more. Yes, some tasks may feel repetitive, but what keeps us going is the genuine connection with our clients.
We know our clients by first name. We care deeply about their success. And that’s what makes this work meaningful to us—being a trusted part of their journey, every single day.
Our Executive Team
Behind every great service is a team of experienced professionals committed to excellence. Our leadership combines deep financial expertise, strategic insight, and a passion for helping businesses thrive. Meet the people driving Evergreen Accounting forward.
