ACCOUNTANT On Call

FD on Call is the brainchild of founder Wouter van Schaik, a Chartered Accountant (SA) with vast experience as a corporate Financial Director and Chief Financial Officer in various industries.

Wouter cut his teeth doing articles for a small auditing firm, making him do more and be more flexible. This versatility gives him the advantage of assisting your business, regardless of what it is, with hands on experience and up to date advice.

Erik Williamson, our other director and Senior Accounts manager provides oversight and management on the business processes relating to the accounting services we provide. With a string of degrees and academic achievements to his name, Erik is an aspiring Chartered Accountant who successfully completed the postgraduate diploma in accounting whilst working abroad and who has passed the SAICA initial test of competence with flying colours.

Erik’s career started in the South African National Defence Force and following the successful completion of a master’s degree in psychology was employed as an Organisational Psychologist at the Military Psychological Institute. He subsequently decided to pursue a career in finance and as someone who understands the value of teamwork and the importance of collaboration, especially within a diverse group, he will no doubt be a great asset to the FD on call stable.

On the personal side, Erik strives to achieve a work-life balance. In his leisure time he enjoys the outdoors, chasing fitness goals and discovering new places.
