About Helomi

Helomi Southwood is a Chartered Accountant CA(SA) based on Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard, bringing over 16 years of senior corporate finance and audit leadership across JSE-listed entities and privately held enterprises.

Her offering extends far beyond standard bookkeeping. Having worked across diverse sectors—including FMCG, quick-service restaurant groups, gaming, logistics, and agriculture—Helomi acts as a strategic business partner. She equips business owners to turn complex numbers into actionable commercial insight rather than treating reporting merely as a compliance tick-box for SARS.

With past leadership overseeing finance teams of up to 23 people and consolidations spanning 20+ entities, Helomi has reported directly to CFOs and audit committees at companies such as Grand Parade Investments, Libstar, and Burger King. Her depth of technical knowledge earned direct praise from Big Four audit teams for disclosure quality and IFRS precision.

She brings that technical rigor directly to businesses needing fractional CFO support, clean AFS compilations, multi-entity consolidations, and financial process optimization.

Services Offered

Full IFRS and IFRS for SMEs separate and consolidated Annual Financial Statements prepared with complete working papers and disclosure support. Because auditor independence rules restrict audit firms from preparing statements for their own clients, Helomi bridges the gap—getting your files audit-ready before fieldwork begins and liaising directly with your auditors.

Monthly, quarterly, and annual management accounts paired with commercial variance analysis and executive commentary. Helomi provides hands-on budgeting, cash flow forecasting, and strategic financial oversight—giving growing businesses corporate-level CFO guidance on an agile, fractional basis.

Expert consultation on complex IFRS interpretations, accounting policy drafting, and treatment of non-routine transactions (such as investment disposals and share-based payments). She also reviews and redesigns financial close procedures, month-end workflows, and internal controls, including during ERP system implementations.
