About Evergreen Accounting
Why We Started
Running a business in South Africa is tough enough without the added stress of dealing with accountants who don’t listen, charge too much, or disappear when you need them most.
We know, because we’ve been there. We’ve run businesses ourselves — and we’ve felt the frustration of paying high fees only to get slow, generic service in return.
That’s why we created Evergreen Accounting. Not just another accounting firm, but a partner that treats your business like it matters — because it does.
Our Story
More than ten years ago, we (Jonathan and Geraldine) looked around and realised something: business owners deserved better.
Jonathan came from a background of business strategy, finance, and coaching. He knew numbers only matter when they connect to real growth and peace of mind.
Geraldine built her expertise as a financial accountant and tax practitioner. With a sharp eye for detail and a passion for service, she’s the one who makes sure nothing slips through the cracks.
Together, we combined strategy and precision into a single offering: accounting that actually helps you build the business and life you want.
What Makes Us Different
- Every client is treated as a VIP: you get not just accounting, but business coaching, consulting, and strategic insight included.
- We understand the pressure of being self-employed and running a small business — because we’ve lived it ourselves.
The Result for You
With Evergreen Accounting, you get:
Fixed-fee, automation-first accounting you can trust.
Direct WhatsApp and personal support from the partners (no call centres).
A team that sees the bigger picture: tax, compliance, and your growth strategy.
We’re here so you can stop worrying about the books and get back to what you do best: running your business.
About Me.
Geraldine Buckton – Managing Partner
My role is to make sure our clients never have to worry about finance, tax, or compliance slowing them down.
I’ve spent over 20 years working in accounting and regulatory environments that demanded absolute precision and high standards. What I learned is this: most business owners don’t need complicated jargon or endless reports — they need clarity, protection from risk, and someone they can trust to keep things running smoothly in the background.
That’s what I do. I keep an eye on the rules, the numbers, and the strategy so you can focus on running and growing your business.
About Me.
Jonathan Turpin – Strategy & Growth
I’ve spent the last two decades helping businesses reinvent themselves, grow, and adapt. For me, accounting is not just about numbers — it’s about clarity and freedom. When I partner with a client, I’m thinking about the business owner behind the books: their stress, their goals, and their next chapter.
