Curtly Smith, a B.Com Accounting graduate from the University of Western Cape is a recent addition to the Accounts on call stable and is currently with us as a SAIPA Trainee Accountant. He comes with great skills and a solid foundation in accounting and as a decent individual too he will no doubt be an asset during his tenure with us.
