About us

Osborn Thomson is a small to medium sized accounting, taxation and consulting practice situated in Hillcrest. Rohan Osborn and Ross Thomson, both registered accounting officers, are equal members of the Close Corporation, which currently employs 14 staff members.

Having worked in small practices prior to their corporate experience, both Rohan and Ross knew what service levels were required from "both sides of the table". With this in mind they started their own practices (Rohan in 2001 and Ross in 2006) and eventually joined together in July 2010. Osborn Thomson is a practice that provides a service that not only meets the requirements of the South African Revenue Services and the Registrar of companies, but one that partners with our clients, ensuring management of small to medium sized businesses.

Please note, Xero doesn't guarantee the service of any one advisor

We don’t review advisor listings and we don’t recommend or guarantee the service provided by any one advisor, so make sure you check them out yourself and get comfortable with them yourself.

Xero certification means that some or all team members have completed courses and been assessed by Xero as proficient in the use of the Xero application.

Xero specialisation means that some or all team members have completed several short learning modules to develop skills in that area.

Xero doesn’t assess any individual advisor’s or firm’s proficiency as an accountant, bookkeeper or financial advisor. And Xero certified advisors and advisors with industry or bank specialisations are not employees of Xero.
