He has worked at premier accounting firms, both in South Africa and London and thus has local and international tax experience. Working at a premier law firm in Johannesburg has further enhanced Eugene’s abilities as a Tax Consultant. Eugene’s approach to charging fees is, generally, to keep his initial fees low and then only charge additional fees based on the value he adds to clients.
