Event Details

Join us for an insightful workshop to find out what Mauritius and the UAE have to offer as financials hubs, with our member JurisTax, on Tuesday 4 March at the Premier Hotel Quatermain, in Morningside.


While many companies active in the sub-Saharan region have established their registered offices in South Africa, we know that the economic and political situation is not always conducive to optimising their operations. Mauritius and the UAE are often considered as viable options because of their geographic proximity and "business openness".


This session will give the participants a comprehensive overview of the different types of offshore structures that are available in these regions. Most importantly they will find out what incentives are offered in these 2 jurisdictions to establish their business.


The speakers will also delve into the immigration aspect by explaining the different residence permits that are available.

    As a fractional CFO and Board Director, I am passionate about leveraging my knowledge to support companies in their local and international growth. My drive comes from tackling new and seemingly insurmountable challenges, always seeking innovative ways to propel the companies I work with forward.

    Throughout my career, I have held roles as CFO, CEO, Executive and Non-Executive Director in over 40 companies. These companies spanned diverse industries such as Construction, IT & Communication, NGOs, Manufacturing, Energy, FMCG, Aviation, and institutions, with revenues exceeding $75 million USD and employing over 800 individuals.

    My professional journey has taken me across continents—from Africa to Europe, the US, and various offshore jurisdictions. In these roles, I have been instrumental in setting up, establishing, and overseeing the operations of local teams on a regular basis.

    With two decades of experience, I understand the multifaceted responsibilities that involve interacting with external stakeholders like auditors, lawyers, and financial intermediaries, as well as collaborating with in-house teams on projects spanning accounting, finance, purchasing, HR, and more. My primary aim is always to deliver accurate reports and forecasts to the CEO and board of directors, underpinned by trust and transparency.
