We are thrilled to introduce you to OKAP!
At OKAP, we collaborate with business owners to help you reach your financial goals. We handle your financial functions efficiently, allowing you to concentrate on managing and growing your business.
In a time when small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) serve as the backbone of our economy, we have undertaken a mission to empower businesses like yours with the essential financial tools they need to thrive.
Why OKAP
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) make up 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 to sustain and revitalise economies, especially in challenging contexts.
However, the obstacles SMEs face in South Africa are alarming. Financial constraints are a significant challenge, hindering expansion, innovation, and talent acquisition. In addition, 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.
With over three decades of experience as an accountant and entrepreneur, our founder, Etienne Steyn, 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.”
