Schoeman Coetzee Audit

What Schoeman Coetzee Audit does

Schoeman Coetzee Audit (SC Audit) is an IRBA-registered audit firm headquartered in Bellville, Cape Town, South Africa. Founded in 2022 as a joint venture between partners Niel Schoeman and Simone Coetzee, the firm is structured as Schoeman Coetzee Inc. and operates with three Registered Auditors — Niel Schoeman, Simone Coetzee, and Hennie Meyer — supported by 11–50 staff including audit clerks, seniors, and managers. SC Audit provides statutory and voluntary audits under the South African Companies Act, independent reviews for qualifying SMEs with a Public Interest Score between 100 and 349, specialised trust account assurance for attorneys (under the Legal Practice Act), estate agents, and body corporates, and supporting accounting, tax, and financial administration services. The firm is also accredited as a SAICA training office for CA(SA) training contracts.

Revenue is generated through fixed-fee professional services engagements, with fees scoped per engagement based on entity size, transaction volume, complexity, risk profile, reporting framework, and timing. The firm operates a sales-led, direct engagement model: clients request consultations via the website contact form, phone, email, or WhatsApp, and every engagement is personally led by a Registered Auditor. The firm markets through an active blog, the 'All About Audits' podcast on Spotify, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram, and SEO-optimised website content targeting South African audit-related search queries.

SC Audit operates as part of the broader SC Audit Group alongside two sister firms — Schoemans (chartered accounting and tax compliance in Bellville and Malmesbury) and Acredo (accounting and advisory in Paarl, Centurion, and Pretoria). The integrated group runs six offices across the Western Cape, Cape Winelands, and Gauteng, serving SMEs, private companies, NPOs/NGOs, and regulated entities throughout South Africa. The firm is privately held by its three Registered Auditor partners, with no external institutional or PE/VC ownership disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Statutory and Voluntary Audits: Fee-based professional services revenue for statutory audits under the Companies Act, charged based on estimated hours at different staff levels multiplied by charge-out rates, adjusted for complexity and risk. Clients with Public Interest Score (PI Score) of 350 or above are legally required to undergo a statutory audit.
2. Independent Reviews: Limited assurance engagements for qualifying SMEs with PI Scores between 100 and 349. Generally lower cost than statutory audits as they involve primarily inquiry and analytical procedures rather than extensive substantive testing.
3. Specialised Assurance (Trust Accounts): Trust account assurance services for attorneys, estate agents, and body corporates, including attorney trust audits under the Legal Practice Act. Fees depend on transaction volume and complexity of trust arrangements.
4. Accounting and Tax Support Services: Supporting bookkeeping, tax compliance, and financial administration services that complement audit engagements. Includes annual financial statements, management accounts, income tax and provisional tax submissions, VAT compliance, payroll and statutory returns.
