What we offer

AJM is a specialist tax consulting and litigation firm that offers a wide spectrum of local and international tax-related services for individuals, trusts, and companies. Our areas of specialty include income tax, value-added tax, estate duty, and tax administration, in both South Africa and Namibia.

The increased complexity of the global tax landscape has, over time, necessitated such a specialist approach, and against this background, AJM provides its clients practical solutions to achieve their commercial goals.

Our dedicated in-country tax team has expertise in law (admitted advocates), accounting (Chartered Accountants), and business (our experts have many years of boardroom and large deal structuring experience), giving us a unique edge in the global tax industry. It is thanks to this broad practical knowledge base across so many disciplines that we are ideally placed to be lead deal advisers, as well as tax specialists.

Deal Advisory

Deal Advisory

division head: adv de wet de villiers

Navigating complexity is key to structuring that perfect deal or transaction. Red tape, delays, and headaches associated with dealing with a multiplicity of advisors, service providers, and specialists, can see even the best possible transaction run aground if not managed efficiently. This is where AJM’s specialist Deal Advisory team comes in, serving as the lead deal advisors and project managers to ensure smooth sailing through the numerous due diligence-, legal-, finance, and regulatory requirements.

GROUP REORGANISATIONS

Proposing tax effective solutions for corporate and existing family structures, which also takes into account estate and succession planning.

DEAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT

While most advisors focus only on certain aspects of a deal, such as corporate finance or deal valuation, our edge is the ability to help clients manage and achieve all their strategic objectives under one roof. As a result, clients can achieve more efficiency and effectively manage all risks linked to a corporate transaction, while also saving time, and reducing their administrative burdens, which in our view, can only happen with holistic oversight.
