Since the inception of Indyebo in 2007 it is humbling to look back on the past 10 years as I am filled with immense pride for what we have achieved. Our successes, imbedded in our continuous determination for excellence, are in every way a direct result of the overwhelming support we have received from our valued clients and dedicated employees. Indyebo’s merger with one of South Africas leading audit firms, Nexia SAB&T, could only have been possible with your constant and unwavering support. We owe this progression to both our long-time clients, and those who only recently joined our client base. Without you we would not be where we are today and we would like to take this opportunity to thank you.

The merger will see us continue to improve on our quality of service, allow us to offer a wider range of services to a broader geographic spread, as we now have a truly national footprint, having 10 offices in 9 provinces. We continuously strive to achieve the highest possible levels of customer service and retention and we have no doubt that this collaboration will afford us the opportunity to do so in-line with the strictest ethical standards and utmost integrity.

While 2017 marks the dawn of a new era for Indyebo as being an incorporated firm of Nexia SAB&T, we believe that the future holds just as much, if not more promise. We will continue to provide support to our clients during any changes the industry may face and will continue to examine new opportunities that will ensure the continuous development of both our company and yours. So I say that this is not good bye, but ‘ watch this space’  as we are extremely excited about what lies ahead and we hope that you will continue with us on this journey.
