Arvind V. Magan & Associates stands as a distinguished auditing and advisory practice built on the experience, expertise and vision of its founder, Arvind V. Magan. A qualified Chartered Accountant and Registered Auditor since 1992, Magan has dedicated more than three decades to advancing auditing, finance, management and business advisory services in South Africa. His career reflects a steadfast commitment to precision, ethical leadership and professional excellence.
Magan’s professional journey began with his articles at Ernst & Young, where he developed a strong technical foundation and a disciplined approach to audit and assurance. Following the completion of his articles, he was appointed as a supervisor at Ernst & Young before moving into a senior role as Professional Associate and Audit Manager at MSGM Masuku Jeena Inc., now part of PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. After four years in this leadership capacity, he pursued his entrepreneurial vision and, in 2003, founded Arvind Magan & Associates. Since then, the firm has grown into a trusted partner for businesses and individuals seeking clarity, compliance and strategic insight in an increasingly complex financial environment.
Services Designed Around Clients’ Needs
Arvind Magan & Associates offers a comprehensive suite of professional services across assurance, tax, advisory, transactions and forensic accounting. Each service is tailored to address clients’ regulatory obligations, enhance operational performance and support long-term strategic growth.
Assurance services provide clients with confidence in the accuracy and credibility of their financial reporting. Through independent, high-quality audits, reviews and compilations, the firm delivers transparency and assurance that strengthen stakeholder trust.
Tax services are designed to navigate the complexities of an evolving regulatory landscape. The firm supports both corporate and individual clients with compliance, planning and advisory services, including specialised solutions for high-net-worth individuals with cross-border requirements. This approach ensures tax obligations are managed efficiently while supporting sustainable financial outcomes.
Advisory services focus on helping organisations respond to change and unlock value. From governance and performance improvement to restructuring and acquisitions, the firm’s accounting and business advisory professionals guide clients through compliance, reporting and financial operations, ensuring alignment with broader business objectives.
Transaction advisory services provide integrated and objective support to evaluate opportunities, execute transactions efficiently and realise strategic ambitions in a competitive market.
Forensic accounting services address the growing risks of fraud, disputes and regulatory non-compliance. The firm offers specialised investigative and litigation support, including evidence analysis, witness interviews and expert courtroom presentation, ensuring complex matters are handled with rigour, credibility and discretion.
A Distinctive Client-Focused Approach
What sets Arvind Magan & Associates apart is its ability to combine technical excellence with a deeply personal approach to client service. The firm’s philosophy is built on five core pillars:
Deep understanding of each client’s business, objectives and risk profile
Knowledge-driven insight, supported by benchmarking, networking and best-practice methodologies
Innovative thinking aligned with proven practices, delivering solutions grounded in global standards
Flexibility and responsiveness in addressing client challenges
Integrity and transparency, which underpin every engagement and relationship
This approach ensures that advice is not only technically sound but also practical, relevant and aligned with clients’ strategic goals.
Specialist Expertise in Audit and Tax
The firm’s audit services extend beyond compliance. Each engagement considers organisational culture, management objectives, competitive pressures and industry-specific risks. This enables the delivery of independent audit reports that add value to management decision-making while meeting the rigorous standards of the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants.
Tax services span both corporate and personal requirements, with an integrated approach that supports compliance, planning and performance. For corporate clients, this includes multi-jurisdictional compliance and strategic tax structuring. For individuals, particularly high-net-worth clients, services cover the full tax life cycle, from planning and compliance to dispute resolution.
In addition, the firm offers tax performance advisory, helping organisations align tax functions with broader business strategies. This transforms tax from a compliance obligation into a driver of operational and financial performance.
Supporting Sustainable Growth
Advisory services at Arvind Magan & Associates are focused on enabling organisations to restructure, grow and perform more effectively. The firm also provides accounting support services that supplement in-house capabilities, allowing businesses to meet short- to medium-term demands without compromising quality or compliance.
Through ethical leadership, specialist expertise and a forward-thinking mindset, Arvind V. Magan & Associates continues to serve as a trusted partner to businesses and individuals navigating today’s complex financial landscape.
