Galbraith Rushby was formed in 2006 by Jeneen Galbraith and Michael Rushby. The firm grew organically through word of mouth by maintaining high standards, personal service and that professional touch our clients have come to know.
The firm started from Jeneen’s home and client numbers grew consistently and we introduced staff to support the growth. We moved to Roodebloem Road in Woodstock in 2009 and our firm currently consists of 23 staff which makes us not too big to lose that personal touch and not too small to not be able to handle client’s affairs completely.
All clients can and do meet directly with the partners. Our services offered by qualified professional staff include the following:
Auditing
Tax Advisory and Compliance
Accounting and Bookkeeping
Secretarial
Payroll
Keeping our clients our number one priority and building and developing long standing professional relationships is key to the firm’s growth.
We currently are an approved training centre for SAIPA and CIMA articles.
Our Mission and Vision
To develop a firm that renders the level of service you could expect from a big audit firm but at the price of small firm and to keep the client as a person and not as a number. For any client at anytime to have the ability to speak directly with the partners and to have the partners directly involved in their financial affairs.

The changing legislative landscape in the fields of company law, tax law and financial reporting standards have made it essential for modern firms to evolve, and as the world becomes more complex and integrated, the days of the sole practitioners and the small accounting and audit firms are limited.
In order to join the top 1% of the wealthiest South Africans, you need to make almost six times more than the average earner. But that doesn’t mean life is all rainbows and butterflies.
Tax. The word alone sends shivers down your spine, never mind the discomfort you might feel spending just one day queuing at your nearest SARS branch.
Living debt-free sounds like the answer, but if you ever need more money than your piggy bank holds, you’re going to need to use someone else’s cash, and that is where a credit score can be your secret weapon.
The tax year runs until the end of February 2023, which means there is still a bit of time to make sure you’re maxing out your tax benefits before the end of the 2022/2023 period.
