Built specifically for
Owner-Managers
You run more than one thing — a company or two, side ventures, maybe a salary plus dividends. You want a trusted finance partner who can keep everything neat, compliant, and capital-ready while you focus on scaling.
Important Note on Scope
We’re highly specialized in supporting business owners. If your financial profile is purely salaried-only with a straightforward tax return, our comprehensive CFO packages exceed your requirements.
In those instances, we recommend triaging your return into a simpler, low-cost compliance solution to save you money.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an Accountant and a Fractional CFO?
While an accountant typically focuses on historical data (bookkeeping, past tax returns), a Fractional CFO looks forward. Maverick Metrics uses your historical data to create rolling 13-week cash forecasts, build financial models, and advise on strategic business decisions.
How does Maverick Metrics help with SARS compliance?
We handle the calculation and submission of company and provisional tax returns. As registered professionals, we also act as the direct liaison for any SARS disputes, providing on-the-ground support in Johannesburg when physical representation is required.
Do you provide full statutory audit sign-offs?
No. As a registered auditor, we provide independent reviews and compile formal financial statements (IFRS/GAAP) suitable for banks and investors. However, full statutory audit sign-offs fall outside our direct service scope.
