About CH Consulting
Personal tax specialists since 2012
CH Consulting is a South African tax practice that does one thing: personal tax. We prepare and file tax returns, provisional tax and crypto tax for individuals, and we deal with SARS so our clients do not have to. Founded by Chris Herbst in 2012, we are based in Stellenbosch and work with clients across the country.

Why clients stay with us
Tax done properly, and you always know where it stands
Too many taxpayers are left anxious by advisers who go quiet. We built CH Consulting around the opposite.
We focus on personal tax
Individuals are all we do, so your return is handled by people who work on returns like yours every day.
We over-communicate
You get updates at every step, from the documents we still need to the confirmation from SARS.
We chase, so you do not have to
Life gets busy. We follow up by email and phone to collect what we need, rather than waiting for you.
We do what we say
Clear fixed fees, a defined scope and no surprises. A tax practitioner reviews every return before it goes to SARS.
