OKAP is a registered accounting firm with SAIPA and a certified SARS tax practitioner. While our physical office is in the coastal town of St Francis Bay, our dynamic team primarily operates in a remote work environment.

This further enables us to efficiently serve clients from various locations, offering convenience and flexibility.
Okap’s Mission
In South Africa, grappling with high unemployment and economic instability, SMEs are indispensable. The International Finance Corporation (IFC) reports that micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) makeup over 90% of formal businesses, employ 50- 60% of the nation’s workforce, and contribute 34% to the GDP. These stats underscore SMEs’ crucial role in sustaining and revitalising economies, especially in challenging contexts.
However, seeing the obstacles SMEs face in South Africa is alarming. Financial constraints are a significant challenge, hindering expansion, innovation, and talent acquisition. Navigating complex compliance and regulations consumes valuable resources. The volatile economic climate adds to SMEs’ uncertainty, emphasising the need to address these issues and bolster their resilience and growth.
Our founder, Ettiene Steyn, brings over three decades of experience as an accountant and entrepreneur to the forefront. He identified the need for a financial services firm that goes beyond the traditional role of an accountant:
“At OKAP, we recognise the unique challenges that SMEs encounter. We work closely with business owners to develop tailored strategies to help them achieve their financial objectives. Our service packages are designed to evolve alongside your business, and our expertise extends far beyond traditional number-crunching. Moreover, we harness cutting-edge technology to provide seamless financial support while ensuring compliance, all aimed at providing you with peace of mind.”
