Our Super Heroes
Our Team of Super Heroes
Meet our team of super heroes whose main job is to save business owners and their businesses from the super villians such as “Bad Debt” and especially, the worse of them all, the “TAX MAN“.
Sarah-Leigh Martin
Chief Super Woman
Forget the stuffy, old-school accountant stereotype. Sarah-Leigh Martin is an entrepreneur and business owner who’s more interested in the people behind the business than the numbers on a page. With a people-first approach honed since she first jumped into the finance world in 2006, she’s here to prove that accounting can have a personality.
Under her leadership, TaxEy has become the home of off-the-wall, personality-filled accountants who believe connection is just as crucial as compliance. Sarah-Leigh is passionate about empowering business owners to truly understand their finances, convinced that the best accounting starts with empathy, communication, and collaboration.
Kenny Archer
Chief Visionary Officer
Kenny Archer is a business coach who believes your business should feel as good as it looks on paper. With three decades of experience launching brands and scaling national operations, he knows what it takes to succeed. But he also knows the burnout that can hide behind the highlights. Now, as a co-owner of TaxEy, he brings that hard-earned wisdom to the table, coaching from real world experience, not just from a textbook.
Kenny steps in to bring clarity and structure to growing businesses, offering hands on leadership without the full-time cost. He helps founders and their teams sharpen their focus, improve their systems, and get back to leading with vision. At the end of the day, Kenny is here to help you build a business that is not only successful, but true to who you are.
Nomcebo Vilakazi
Compliance Champion
Tired of the stuffy, old-school accountant stereotype? So are we. That’s why we’ve got people like Nomcebo Vilakazi on our team. Better known as NomNom around the office, she’s a proud mum who recently swapped the wild world of retail for the equally exciting world of tax. She’s taking the scenic route to success, and we’re thrilled to be part of her journey.
Armed with a fresh Higher Certificate in Tax Administration, Nomcebo is ready to kick tax and take names. She’s living proof that you can belong in the accounting world without losing your sparkle. Before she dived into the semi-corporate life, she mastered the art of telephonic charm in retail and promotions. So, when you call in a panic about a submission, she’s the calm, friendly voice that will talk you off the ledge, probably with a spreadsheet in hand.
This first step into the tax and accounting space has lit a fire in her. Nomcebo isn’t just here to stay, she’s here to slay. She brings a fresh perspective, a can-do attitude, and a whole lot of personality to the TaxEy family.
Tshepo Mthimunye
Care keeper
Don’t let his quiet nature fool you. Tshepo, or ‘Buddy’ as he’s known in the office, is a strategic thinker with a passion for precision. He approaches accounting with the same focus as a championship football match, where every move is calculated to help you score your financial goals. He’s the ultimate team player, always keeping his eye on the ball to ensure your books are in perfect order.
When he’s not thinking about tactics on the pitch, Buddy is all about music. He has a natural talent for finding harmony in the numbers, turning financial chaos into a perfectly tuned composition. He believes that good accounting has a rhythm, and he’s here to make sure your finances are always in sync.
As he finishes his studies at Damelin, Buddy is already proving to be a rising star on our team. He brings a quiet confidence, a sharp mind, and a fresh perspective that makes him a valuable player in the TaxEy family.
Linda Schutte
Book Inspector
Some people see accounting as just numbers, but for Linda, it’s a thrill. She’s the kind of person who will hunt down a single cent until the books are perfectly balanced, all with a massive smile on her face. After a long and successful career as a credit manager, Linda wasn’t ready to hang up her calculator. She joined TaxEy team to prove that her skills are as sharp as ever, and she’s been delighting clients since.
Linda is a true people person. She’s an extrovert who loves making friends with her clients, believing that understanding their story is the key to helping them succeed. With a natural empathy, she knows how to connect with people and make them feel heard. She’s a firm believer that a good sense of humour is the secret to life, and she brings that same joyful spirit to her work.
